If you have never heard of #SQLTrain, it is a very economical way to meet several of the big names in the Microsoft Data Platform world. It travels from Vancouver WA (US) to Seattle on the Sunday between the SQL Sat event held in Vancouver and Seattle.

Which is recursive, as Michael Crichton was inspired by Disneyland animatronics when he wrote Westworld :)

Thanks for suggestions. I was also bummed the job tokens didn't cover it. I got the impression that it's not accessible from the SQL process space, but only SQLAgent exec. Every attempt at introspection within the job yields nothing. No XE either.

#sqlhelp Is there a way for a SQLAgent job step to know which schedule started the job at runtime? I know it's logged in the history, but can't tell if it can be determined while running. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply, if you need a video: youtube.com/watch?v=qI7YzTq-… And don't just limit yourself to spaces, there's a whole world of Unicode spaces available!

I was hoping there was an overlooked column or function somewhere that I, well, overlooked.

Well there's other things I need to look for, plus comparing plan elements programmatically. Text shredding is bit fussier.

Yeah, that's on option, and it should be fast enough. It just wouldn't show off my mad XML shredding skillz. Plus the 10K plans I have to search
