## New to Me

This section includes content I discovered this week that has been around for awhile.

- *[Scripting all Agent Jobs Using SQL Server Management Studio](https://www.sqlmatters.com/Articles/Scripting%20all%20Agent%20Jobs%20Using%20SQL%20Server%20Management%20Studio%20%28SSMS%29.aspx)*, at SQLMatters.com
- *[Why does HRESULT begin with H when it’s not a handle to anything?](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20180117-00/?p=97815)*, by the indomitable Raymond Chen
- *[Did you know that Access is NOT a database but a Front End?](https://www.hitechcoach.com/microsoft-office/access/83-general/70-did-you-know-that-access-is-not-a-database-or-database-engine)* by Boyd Trimmell (I assume)

I found the following quote from the Boyd Trimmell article noteworthy:

> On the Microsoft Access Blog, there is a comment from Clint Covington of Microsoft that stated "The Jet engine is a system component and making changes to it meant making changes to Windows. The new engine gives us more flexibility to innovate in the codebase and ship updates via Office."
