SQL in the City Streamed is coming up this week! This is an awesome FREE online event, and it’s all about learning new things and getting inspired.
There’s a pretty sweet schedule for each event, featuring folks like Grant Fritchey, Steve Jones, Kathi Kellenberger, and Bob Ward.
What makes a person a DBA Hero? In this episode, I talk about how Robert Davis made a huge impact on the SQL Server community, and the traits that Robert displayed that I hope to emulate.
Last week I posted a quiz on SQL Operations Studio, a free, multi-platform tool from Microsoft..
This tool is under active development and the features are improving by the day – which makes it a great time to start trying out the tool and see what you like: because you can suggest changes!
I’ve been enjoying working with SQL Operations Studio lately - a new, free, cross-platform editor from Microsoft. The tool is under active development and it’s a great time to try it out and suggest changes for how you’d like to see the product work. (Here’s a suggestion I made this week, for example.)
I’ve gotten a few questions about whether I recommend learning Service Broker, and recently I was asked if I’m planning to make any courses on Service Broker.
In this 23 minute episode, I talk about why I personally haven’t become an expert with Broker, the factors that I believe play into Service Broker adoption, and other resources online for learning Service Broker in SQL Server.
It’s been a fun, busy spring and early summer. I have loads of new courses to share, and great stuff is coming up soon!
A big thank you to all the SQLWorkbooks members who attended live events, or posted your comments and questions! Your questions are terrific, and you’ve made these events so much fun.
