I know option would be between 1 and 2 as I joined SSC in 2003. It's been the best place to learn SQL Server and I follow each and every article everyday religiously.

Thanks to Steve for maintaining it.

SQL DBA.

Man, that was an easy one! You could have just asked me, 'When did I start suffering and desperately seeking help on the internet with the SQL 6.5/7.0/2000 servers I was working with?!'

Thanks Steve and everyone for all the help!

I was a developer and got into DBA activities all of sudden (When one of our DBA left, I took over - I had knowledge on SQL Server development). As a DBA I was almost Nil. I subscribed to this site and now I have learned a lot. still learning... Thanks a lot to all who started/maintains this site.

Absolutely great work.!

Is the "About" page correct?

Steve Jones is editor-in-chief of SQLServerCentral.com. Steve started working with SQL Server in 1991 with the original Sybase port of SQL Server to OS/2 v1.3 (shudder). [highlight=#ffff11]He has continued working with SQL Server through all versions up to 2000[/highlight]. Prior to SQLServerCentral.com, he worked with JD Edwards in Denver, CO until it was purchased by PeopleSoft, spending most of his time administering a large scale SQL Server environment and developing automated solutions for administration and optimization of SQL Server.
Steve is an MCSE, slowly working on the SQL Server 2005 tests when he runs out of things to write about. He has published articles in SQL Server Magazine, SQL Server Update, NT Update, and is the co-author of these books from Sybex:

Great site Steve!

The about page stats need updating... on member count, or at least a date point on the figure.

But anyway, it is the best site. This and BOL are almost all I need anymore. Searching elsewhere is often frustrating, excepting the occasional Google'd gem.
