At SQLPass this year I was fortunate to attend “A day of doing many things at once: Multitasking, Parallelism, and Process distribution” by Adam Machanic (blog | twitter). This was a day long post-conference.
Tonight I checked in on the Twitterverse and saw that Jason Strate announced a new blog post about the next 24 Hours of PASS event.
I’m Talking About Partitioning!
A sign will be henceforth posted on my office door which reads: “PLEASE FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE COMMAND PROMPT.”
And I will always make sure to remember to be careful when working with the Engine of the Devil.
It’s sort of like Daylight Savings time for #TSQL2sday. Since PASS is next week and we’ll all be busy tweeting from the convention center instead of talking to one another face to face (or the opposite, take your pick), we’re blogging a week early.
This month’s topic is hosted by Paul Randal (blog | twitter), and the topic is “Why are DBA skills necessary?”
Note: Updated 10/28 based on conversation in the comments, and 12/10 with Denali info.
This month’s #tsql2sDay is hosted by Sankar Reddy, and the topic is roughly, “Things you thought you knew, but didn’t.”
So I was chatting with @SQLChicken the other night, and I made this comment…
Yeah, you heard me.
“But Kendra, why would we want to grant developers read permissions? And why would we automate it? And at what point did you lose your mind?”
A while back, I submitted a few abstracts to a couple SQLSaturday presentations around the country. I just picked places I’ve never visited which seem unique, and where I’d like to make a quick vacation of it and spend a few days exploring town before having fun at a SQLSaturday and meeting new people.
This month’s T-SQL Tuesday topic is hosted by Robert Davis and the topic is “How do you learn? How do you teach? What are you learning or teaching?”
