Happy New Year to all of you out there! I know, I know it’s a week late but hey I’ve had a bit of a hectic one plus once again I’ve managed to catch the same bug that I always seem to get this time of year (excuses, excuses).
Well 2016 was a bit of a wild ride, wonder what 2017 has in-store for us? Personally I’m hoping that container technology continues to mature, the bugs are fixed in SSMS (possibly see that dark theme released? ha!) and that we see some cool blog posts about SQL on linux being utilised. I’ve read enough posts on how to install SQL on linux but I wonder how many people out there are actually using it (someone’s got to be mad enough)?
Anyway this week I’ve been reading: –
