I've been a little surprised lately by some of the questions I've seen in our forums at SQLServerCentral.com with questions that weren't questions. I've seen people post things that make it hard for people to help them. Among those items...
A program manager asked the question at the start: Who's had a query performance issue where a query "went bad" on the server? Lots of hands up, and that was one of the things I wanted from this session. What's reliability? MS sees this...
I went to this one, mostly because I don't understand coruption that well and Paul Randal is a great speaker. Worth going to see him if you get the chance. Run CheckDB. It's important. You need to know how long checkdb takes to run. Checkdb is...
For SQL Server, it's coming soon. Surprisingly, when I was up in Redmond, quite a few people were asking about this, and wanted to have a new logo. I somewhat agree that the old logo was a little tired and it would be good to see something new. I...
After being gone for 4 days, I've got a little catching up to do. I try to be prepared before I leave, but I also like to be ahead of the curve, especially with the daily grind of articles, QODs, scripts, and of course, editorials. I took my video...
This is really interesting to me: CREATE TABLE #TEMP (name varchar(80)) INSERT INTO #TEMP values ('Malteser Schloßschule') INSERT INTO #TEMP values ('Malteser Schlossschule') CREATE TABLE #TEMP1 (name nvarchar(160)) INSERT INTO #TEMP1...
Some very interesting responses to my CLR editorial today including some good details that I haven't seen elsewhere. I'm still thinking that we're missing a lot of examples that might convince people to give the CLR a try, or implement it...
I saw that Erland Sommerskag posted a Connect item that asked for a "View Variable" to be added to the SQL language. The idea is that you would be able to declare a variable that was a query of some sort and then use that in places where you...
One of the things that I made a conscious effort to do last summer was make a regular effort to post in the forums at SQLServerCentral.com. I'd been neglecting them for a couple years, rarely tracking anything other than the Editorials, Suggestions...
I hate to say it, but I can't say anything. At least not yet until I confirm some things are not under NDA. However it was a great week, I met some very smart people, and had a good time. Lots of things in the works for both SQL Server 10 (2008) and...
Yesterday was an interesting day up at Microsoft. The SQL Server track is split into two sessions, with 2 assigned rooms, and luckily for me, all of the sessions I wanted to attend were in one room, so I never had to move. I liked that, though I was regretting...
I am actually stunned. I knew that more bandwidth makes a difference, but having way more bandwidth is truly amazing. My daily upload routine, which actually ends up being anywhere from twice to 5 times a week for video, is to start uploading one video...
