I’m taking on a new topic today. Titled “ How to capture who did what in your SQL Server databases”, it’s a good overview of some of the techniques that can be used for auditing. Much like disaster recovery options, there is quite an assortment of auditing/logging options in SQL and just picking one (or […]
Read more "Webinar Today at 3pm"I wrote the SQLServerCentral question of the day that is live today called Schema & Renaming Fun. Mildly interesting, but looking back at it a couple weeks after writing it not my favorite – feels a bit convoluted. If you read the comments (after trying to answer the question!), you’ll see two places where I […]
Read more "Schema & Renaming Fun"SQLSaturday returns to Houston this year, this time at San Jacinto College on May 10, 2014. That’s the Saturday just before Teched, so you can make a super week of it. I haven’t decided yet if I’ll attend, it turns out SQLSaturday Jacksonville is on the same day.

Read more "Look At The SQLSaturday Orlando Home Page"Number 8! Our eight annual SQLSaturday in Orlando is coming up on September 27th (note, it’s technically our tenth, but my friend Kendal Van Dyke says that #3 & #4 – the ‘tweener’ weekend – shouldn’t count!). Either way, I’m excited that it’s time to start the planning and the work for the event later […]
Read more "SQLSaturday #318 in Orlando on September 27, 2014"I use Pocket for saving some stuff. It works well from Feedly when I see something I know I’ll want to look at again (or just later). I’m sure I don’t use it as much as I should or could, but I’m strangely slow to adopt tools sometimes – it will become natural and work […]
