What were the others?

Too numerous to mention.
But a non-expensed trip to the Thistle (?) in Heathrow comes to mind.
But back to the question, why are you dumping SAP into Excel?
Not that I'm saying it's not valid, just wondering why.

Cause I only run sap on the client's machine when on-site. Today is not that day so I dumped the database to a text file etc etc.

this is the crime of companies/people using SAP incorrectly

dumping to excel is the scourge of the analytics business

question - the data you dumped from SAP, is not compromising the company's security ?

Nope because I had a filter in place for the BOM. Not interested in employee data. But really too easy to do in any case, so it is a valid point.

The database. Really. All 100'000+ tables, multi terabytes?.

Scooter designed the database. It started in Excel, so it's basically coming home.
