MS Wish Responds to Bob

by Robert Mills 6. May 2007 08:10

So, I sent a SQL 2005 request to MS Wish last week, basically what I would like to see is a client side ability to set up database diagrams in a read only manner. It would be nice to be able to visually look at how tables are linked and interconnected without requiring the DBA to add the necessary permissions to allow you to do it on the server. DBAs get nervous about giving you the permissions you would need to do server side diagrams, especially since it adds one more attack vector and diagrams can allow you to *modify* the table schemas etc (yes, I assume you don't *need* modify permissions)

So, I get a response from MS Wish this morning.

Hello Bob,

This is not a form letter response. This email is to inform you that Steve Ballmer has *personally* requested all future emails from all of your known address, and *any* address that could in any way possibly maybe sort of be from you be blocked until the end of time.

Thank you for taking the time to contact Microsoft and have a great day!
MS Wish Team

Ok, so maybe that wasn't their *exact* response, but it is what it amounted to in my head.
