Great work @arcange. I often wondered how it was possible to open a SQL server up to the world without it being killed by bad queries. SteemSQL is an invaluable resource and your VIEW solution seems sound so I hope it does the job. Thanks again.

Yeah, making a server public is kind of crazy thing.
I should have thought a bit before doing it.

Anyway, as I did, I now have to deal with ...
Funny (but exhausting) thing to do and learning a lot. So ... added value for everyone.

This kind of thing gives an opportunity to learn.

Hey @arcange thanks buddy for the update and nice post as well.

Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your support!

@rawdawg just voted for you as a witness. Good luck bro!

Thank you. Really appreciated!

just an FYI, we just got MVP michaelvenompaige on steemit. . .
He is a well known MMA fighter. . .like really well known. . . We should get him some Steemit gear. Is that something we would ask SteemInc for?

@ michaelvenompage

@arcanage I voted for you. Thank you for your hard work on this awesome db for us. I know it is not easy and often thankless. I greatly appreciate your work!

Great solution! Nicely done.

I got in the habit some time ago of always using nolock, but I only write very basic queries and now mostly use Power BI. So this will make it much better.

Phenomenal work. Although with the down times and crashes, some tables were missing data. Will that require a new full resynch or is it fixed?
This VIEW trick is awesome, I'll try it on my databases.

P.S. I was one of those lazies (well not lazy, but busy) who forgot to implement NOLOCK...

Are you Bad or Ugly? ;)

I am the Good.

Good boy! XD

I hate it when people suck at queries...
Gotta do what ya gotta do with the database to make sure it continues to function!

Thanks for keeping the DB up and running!!

Just making sure I understand correctly... So now we will be able to use Power BI and query the Views and all will be good? Up voted for finding this solution!

Yes, you can now use PowerBI without worrying about the NOLOCK hint.

Thank you for this update. And I understand the need to use views. I just wasn't aware that there was the ugly part. Full steem ahead!

I'm one of the "The Bad" here. I haven't had time to learn SQL queries and have been using Excel Power Query.

Thank you so much for providing this service! I use it daily to hunt down spam & scam.

hay @patrice, I haven't forgotten you about that data, I was just fixing all my queries with sql before I could move on and do data for anyone. Give me a few days to catch up and I will be in touch

I've been busy myself. Thanks!

Thanks to my "view trick", everybody is now on "The Good" side ;)

I know i am one of the ones that has caused problems, i am now using sql no lock queries, so there should be no problems, I hope from my side. I also see the benefit in speed using sql queries and hope to help the bisteemit team get the hang of doing this too.

Keep up the good work and thank you for the update

Thanks @paulag for yor support. I know you were one putting the the server down, but you also did your best to try to correct the situation. And this is highly appreciated.
Let's have you labeled "The Good" ;)

thats a relief :-)

I like the "View to A Kill" fitting in this post :-)
