Oat and Raisin cookies

March 14th, 2009 § 0 comments § permalink

Well my blog layout is not done as you can see, I like to test things on my live site. Ill finish it soon I hope…

Made these a week ago twice and they were wolfed down by everyone at work. Definately worth a try…

cookies1

180g butter
1 1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp mixed spice
3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups raisins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, spice and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats and raisins.

Put the mixing bowl in the fridge for about half an hour or for as long as you can stand.

Place on baking sheet with the same space between them as the width of each ball of cookie. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes until golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.

What happens when you delete the default database for your login (SQL05)

March 9th, 2009 § 2 comments § permalink

Well you can no longer connect to SQL Management Studio. In my case I had detached the default database for my user, and was now getting the error:

Cannot connect to ..
Additional information:

Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user ‘Laura’. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4064)

Solution: (Vista, XP similar)

  1. Open a command promt (start, type cmd)
  2. Type sqlcmd in the command prompt. You should see an error saying basically that you cannot open the user default datacase (Msg 18456)
  3. Type in: ALTER LOGIN [USERNAME] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=master
    GO
  4. This should set your default database to master and you will then be able to open SQL Management Studio.
  5. Alternatively, open SQL Management Studio, and in the connect to server dialog press options, and then type master into the connect to database: textbox.
  6. You will then have to create a new query and execute the following text: sp_defaultdb ‘USERNAME’, master
