That's the first place you look



  • From the global.asp file for our Initrode2008 project:

    strConnect = "driver={SQL Server};server=" & s & ";uid=" & u & ";pwd=" & p & ";database=Initrode2007"

    Apparently Smith the Horse works here.



  • As usual, I think I'm missing something obvious...

    Smith the Horse, a recurring character in the Ultima series, is a talking horse  . . . .  He has a predilection for sarcasm, but tries to give vital information. This advice . . . . .  is ultimately useless to the Avatar since it always relates to the hero's previous adventure.

    If that was the WTF, then no, I didn't miss that.  I guess I was expecting something more WTF-ey.

    Odd.  That's what my wife says whenever I try to agrue with her.

    Agrue: To simultaneously argue and agree with someone, in the dark, where you will probably be eaten.

     



  • The WTF is that there's no "x" on the end of that ".asp".

    Smith the Horse? Seriously? How about M'aiq the Liar, buddy? Welcome to the 21st century.

    You've got a classic ASP application, using ODBC, with a hardcoded database name, and not using Windows authentication and the only WTF you see is a typo in the database name?

    It's our legacy app. We phased it out in 2008 (or somewhere thereabouts). Nobody uses it anymore, but we do still have to get data from it, hence the databases still being alive. The latest version uses all the fancy new technologies you'd expect.

     



  • If the worst WTF you can find is "a legacy app nobody uses didn't have a name updated to the correct year" you must work at a pretty great place.



  • I get it! The WTF is connection strings, right?
