You have heard all of the "rules"
"Cursors are evil"
"Dont use Triggers"
"Every time you use Write-Host a kitten is.." well its not true so we wont say it.
"You should never use the GUI, all things must be code"
"If you are going to do something more than once automate it"
"Don't use profiler always use Extended Events"
John and Rob, being consultants, often say "Well, it depends" Lets talk about some of the times when these and other "rules" may not fit
