    If it was me I think I'd hire the person that offered the automated and low cost option.
    The problem definition suggested nothing more than making a one-off determination of the direction of rotation, not continuous monitoring. Why over-engineer the solution? YAGNI.

    If the need is, in fact, for continuous monitoring then the fact of suggesting a method of making a one-off determination will reveal that the problem definition is flawed in at least one respect, and may therefore be flawed in other respects. Therefore the problem definition needs to be fully reviewed to determine whether it does, in fact, properly define the actual goal of the project.

      Learn how to create a login on SQL Server, call yourself a DBA so you can sit on your fat ar*e all day, blocking others requests to do anything useful, and getting a better rate.
      Cynical - DBA's driving me mad today.
      WHS.

      Just been accused of having a second "alias" on CUK, by a co-worker who knows these to be my sentiments.....
