Perfect response.

As long as you get someone with a Russian accent saying "Captain on the bridge!" any time you enter in yout office you're good to go.
And don't wear any red shirt.

Do you tell them to "make it so" or "engage" ?

Oh, don't worry, we make various references like that all the time....even the bosun's whistle for captains on the bridge gets an airing now again.

As long as noone starts referring to Honor Harrington it should be fun.
Also, if this is The Original Series the Captain is the best role to have; if this is The Next Generation, I'd be happier being First Officer

Congrats Dave ! Captain of a ship that is not moving is much less dangerous, that must really be a piece of cake.

"If all you are doing is running sprocs, then you defeat the purpose of even using an ORM."
I wonder why he didn't assume that I knew that from the get-go, thus prompting my question in the first f*ckin place...
"I stopped using sprocs over 10 years ago, once I discovered how to use an ORM like nHibernate and EF, becuase I had been in too many shops where those bunny rabbit breeding sprocs were all over the place with half of them no one knew what they were for or about."
I'm really happy for him. However, I have a legacy database that uses nothing but stored procs, and that cannot be changed.

No, it doesn't. You still get your results as if they come from a normal query, and can map those to objects easy.

You can create multiple procs for different users, with different access-levels.
