  • RE: MySQL

    MySQL is more ANSI-compliant than it used to be...if you don't accidentally do something to break that, but I wouldn't use it for anything serious if I could possibly avoid...

  • RE: SQL Server Management Studio add-ins

    One I find useful is SSMS Schema Folders -- and it's also free:

    Also, the SQL Hunting Dog link is 404.

  • RE: Evolving Our Tools

    If the past is anything to go by, there's at least a 50% chance I'll be using completely different tools in my next job anyway. This company was using MySQL...

  • RE: Evolving Our Tools

    Although, really, I find that when something is a niche interest, a third-party tool is often a better option.  They can charge enough to support the development effort necessary, while...

  • RE: Evolving Our Tools

    Thanks. It really is useful to me for tracking down errors in complex nested SPs with multiple dynamic SQL statements, etc.  (Yes, some of them could be refactored to be...

  • RE: Evolving Our Tools

    In my experience, PostgreSQL has the most helpful, supportive, and welcoming community of any software I've used. MySQL is basically a burning trash heap -- and so is the community...

  • RE: Evolving Our Tools

    Are there any SSMS alternatives or plugins that support T-SQL debugging, especially against a Managed Instance?  I'm very disappointed the Microsoft is dropping this entirely from SSMS19 instead of updating...

  • RE: The Full Stack DBA

    Job-before-last, a Linux / PostgreSQL shop, I ended up doing everything except desktop support for our piece of the company.  Thankfully, our UI was fairly simple and the previous sysadmin...

  • RE: Do recruiters primarily recruit for contract jobs?

    I'm in the San Diego area.

    I've gotten recruiter contacts for full-time, contract-to-hire, and contract.  I get a lot of cold contacts for completely implausible contracts -- I'm...

  • RE: Pausing replication on a schedule

    The schedule is set to continuous / start automatically.

  • RE: GitHub Downtime

    Step 1: Don't use MySQL for anything complex.
