Sea of Thieves, Windowed Resolution

For me on Windows 10 using a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, Sea of Thieves resolution settings are ignored. When I set to full screen, it works as expected. When I set to windowed mode, it uses the screen's max height, and displays as a borderless window locked size mode. Changing the resolution doesn't change anything. After messing with it for a while, I got the resolution to listen to me.

First, in Steam, Right Click on the game in Library -> Properties... -> Set Luanch Options -> Enter: -WINDOWED

If you aren't on Steam, you should be albe to set launch options in your launch application of choice, or the shortcut of your game (via right click of the desktop icon -> Properties -> Target "[LaunchLocation]" -WINDOWED
Within the game, go to windowed mode in the game's Video Settings

Shift+Right click the program in task bar -> Maximize

This will get the game to display the title bar with Min/Max/Close buttons.

Now, when you change the resolution... it still won't do anything, but then messing with Display mode will get it to apply the given resolution! Having the launch setting set to -WINDOWED locks the game to windowed, which is nessisary for the game to apply this resolution. I think the dev has the resolution being set as you leave windowed mode instead of entering it, causing this bug.

Data from MDF to SQL Script

I needed to export my data out of a MDF SQLServer file so that I could import it into a PostgreSQL database. In case we figure out time travel, or in a few years I need to remember how to get data out of a mdf, a series of images.

In server explorer, right clicking a connected mdf and selecting Browse in SQL Server Object Explorer provides a way to export a table's schema.

In the SQL Server Object Explorer, Right click on the MDF's table->view data, followed by the second script icon "Script to File" gives the SQL server format insert statements. I still had to convert from that into PostgreSQL, but that wasn't too hard once the data was in my hands.
