As i start to become more and more involved with sql server in my applications and my understanding of it gets better (due to my deadlock issues)... I cant help but sit there in quiet awe at the unfathomable (at least to me) complexity of the sql server code... Although obviously we cant see it, i cant imagine how someone could write the code for the T-SQL engine, letalone all the other complex sql functions like the row locking mechanisms and execution planning and have it all work reliably and quickly.... It just amazes me.

There must be some just straight up geniuses out there to be able to write this thing, so i kinda have a bit of patience for them when they have issues.

Yeah same thing i thought when i first got into computing back in 1998. But you have to bear in mind. Computing and Techonlogy vendors e.g MS, has a very long history of R&D

Coming from legacy systems to PCs

When I first used Classic ASP coming from html and frontpage extensions and cgi programming with perl. Classic ASP seemed to work magic. But now with the latest .net like the ocean it gets deeper, wider and better with time. Same thing with Databases, OS etc
