26 days, 3 hours, 4 minutes.
But the hospital I was taken to was 1 1/2 away, in a small town. and a women's center at that.
Urgent care is less than 2 miles away.
Closest hospital is about 25 minutes away.
Metropolitan center with multiple hospitals is about an hour away.
And coming from South Carolina, I had to fly out of Pittsburgh... just a few international airports between here and there..

I started in Coolabah[^] but I think they just nuked the place and cleared the infection. Nobody noticed!

Stupid thing. Couldn't find the city I'm in, and tried to claim the nearest city was a town somewhere else.

Well, as long as you are somewhere else, you can't be infected.

Wouldn't that be Ionians?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Only when they all visit the porcelain throne at the same time. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

While I wasn't using DbParameter.AddWithValue(..) but instead created them, set .DbType and .Value and then added them to the DbCommand, for strings, byte-arrays and numerics with precision/scale I wasn't initializing .Length, resp. .Precision and .Scale.
From this answer[^] by @jorgen_andersson I learned that I should do it: Knocked down a lengthy DB-insert from 139 to 86 seconds!
(If you're interested in the details the link Jörgen provided in his answer is worth a read.)
Thank you, Jörgen!

Very interesting actually. I always use AddWithValue as well. Guess I should rethink that. It hasn't been a big problem, though, because I've never had any inserts of that magnitude. 
Also interesting to know that you have a sock puppet account called "Foothill"...

Umm, that's a negative. Proper handling of SQL parameterization seems to be a popular subject.

Repeat 100000 times, it adds up.
But yeah probably a bit underwhelming, You'll notice a difference the more complex the query is.

Remembered another reason for using Prepare.
It will complain on compilation if you have not defined sizes on all parameters.

Thank you, Jörgen! That will be useful indeed, even in my current project where I mostly have ad-hoc queries, but this way I can verify in development that all command-building parts initialize the sizes of parameters.
