Intarweb bad!

I love this program.  I made a small tweak to a query and ran it again today.  After only a few hours of run time it quit with a meaningless SQL error (constipated server or something).  At least it didn't give me the "fatal error - all data lost along with the program that tried to retrieve it".

Gotta love automation.  This is only slightly slower than it would have been to send a junior clerk to the basement to bring back a couple tonnes of file folders and pass them over to a medieval monk to make calligraphy copies of the data.  ;p
