Deleting Snapshots in Microsoft Hyper-V

Have you deleted a Hyper-V snapshot, which you do not need any more? Have you really?

Deleting a snapshot in the Hyper-V Manager does not delete the corresponding differencing disk, the files are still there. The merge process starts only if you turn off the virtual machine, restart will not help. And the merging can continue pretty long, read about some practical experience example here.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Semicolon

I've read today the SQL Server 2008 Books Online and found the following statement in the Transact-SQL Syntax Convention:

; - Transact-SQL statement terminator. Although the semicolon is not required for most statements in this version of SQL Server, it will be required in a future version.

If you plan to use or sell your software for longer time, you should think about starting to use semicolons in your code today.
