This is what 1 trillion US$ cannot buy you: intelligence

Enter SQL Server and its Management Studio. I always admired this combination and considered it the best SQL development platform in the visible universe. Until today I did. Today, something happened.

My client asked me to rename two of their databases, let's say A and B, into A.Something and B.SomethingElse. Notice the period that was supposed to be introduced in the name. I complied, and all hell broke loose.

We began to get errors that mentioned the now not existing databases A and B, from SSMS. Apparently some of its functionality allows periods in the DB names, whereas other functionality does not. The only case in which this is possible is if MS did not test.

Fly, fools!
