They also get re-used when someone dies. |
it is now here:
http://archive.cpsr.org/cpsr/privacy/ssn/ssn.faq.html
Most of the links in that document are broken. The discussion
of problems with the use of SSN's as primary keys is here:

From what I hear "it's supposed to be" would be the answer to your question. Fraud and screw-ups dictate otherwise. They also get re-used when someone dies. -- This sig left intentionally blank |

Firstly, I find your use of "Eh?" offensive. Your MVP status does not exempt you from the rules of simple courtesy... |
intended to be offensive nor discourteous. Perhaps it has some different
meaning or usage in Oz?

Well, lots. The place I was working where it was happening routinely had over 100 users hitting the same back-end. |
whose observations we can trust" when we talk about the upper limits of
multiuser. Hey, it's good company, including michka, Stephen Forte, Drew
Wutka, and Mike Groh...
Like David, I don't have personal experience with that size user audience.
But that is quite a lot of users, and likely to stress a poor little
"desktop database" somewhat. But, as David also said, it'd be worth a check
that all users are up-to-date with SPs for Jet 4. Wouldn't it be nice if
that were a solvable problem, and you solved it for your client?

Interesting spin. In my experience "Eh?" is usually tacked on to the end of a sentence by afore referenced Canadians. |
something like: "Interesting. My own observation is...".

"rkc" wrote Interesting spin. In my experience "Eh?" is usually tacked on to the end of a sentence by afore referenced Canadians. That, too. I took Tony's use to be more-or-less equivalent to my saying something like: "Interesting. My own observation is...". |
