Sorry couldn't help myself. Anyway, in an attempt to be productive, I
will say that your "where are all the reports" is about as valid as,
"Where are all the users besides yourself arguing about this having to
edit a backup file?"
This is a real problem and unless we can find more people to
substantiate your claim, I think the consensus is to ensure that people
don't get bit by statement timeout when attempting to do a restore.
I vote in favor of the one less foot gun approach.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
