Type in question 1!

Good examples. Kept to scope. Next video could go into resolving permission conflicts (tables and views and stored procedures, oh my).

On the first question after the video, you have the word REMOVE and it should be REVOKE, looks like a typo

what is the correct answer to this question ? I am completely confused."What is the difference between REVOKE and DENY? " I chose "REMOVE removes a permission, DENY guarantees that the user can no longer perform the action" which is item 2 ,though has a typo,But it said the correct answer is "DENY removes a permission, REVOKE guarantees that the user can no longer perform the action (Correct Answer)". If I answered the question correctly,please give back my score!

I found a typo: "REMOVE removes a permission, DENY guarantees that the user can no longer perform the action (Correct Answer)" should be "REVOKE"

typo error REMOVE instead of REVOKE

Señor Tone Checker on 9/15/2009

You have a typo in your first question: "REMOVE" should be "REVOKE". (My permanent record is marred due to this; I didn't choose that answer because of the typo! What will this do to my career?!?!)
