One of my clients is looking for a DBA and a BI developer. They are a very exciting dotcom company with cutting edge technology and are growing fast A bit older than a startup but they still have that feel about them. They are based in North London and are a very nice company to work for, flexible hours, working from home. Plus they are willing to pay for the right candidate.
There is at least 1 DBA and 1 BI role going.

If any of the above symptoms are causing a problem, i.e.
1. You download a file and the download dialog disappears.
2. You select open when you download a file and nothing happens.
3. The View Downloads doesn’t work
4. CTRL + J doesn’t work (view downloads)
The solution is to clear your download history
See IE9 - View downloads / Ctrl+J do not open. I cannot open any file. But SAVE function still work fine. 64 bit version. for details the answer is provided by Steven. S on June 20th.
I hope that helps
This problem affects Internet explorer 9 only.

If you use schemas then you will know that keyboard shortcuts don’t work with them due to the period (.) in between the schema and the object name.
