Steve,

Great topic. I think the more appropriate question would be; is there any company that has not had a data breach?

We see in the news, time and time again every...

Maxtardiveau,

I agree with what you’re saying. When I worked at Dell Computers, we presented a similar issue to Microsoft in relation to the Microsoft Office suite. Their response was “it’s...

Jeffry,

I suppose my wife is somewhat correct in accusing me of being OCD. I have a tendency to group my constraints by constraint type, then table name, then column name.

Jeffrey,

Actually I've never had that issue.  (Yet!)

In that scenario, I would have to break tradition and add the schema name prefix to the table name when naming the constraint.

Jeff,

Sean Redmond,

I’m going to have to side with Jeff on this one. With on-premise servers, both the initial and long-term costs may be more than the cloud, financially speaking. However, what...

Thanks. I'll put together an article and submit it to see how things tic along.

I read the contributor pages, seems fairly straight forward.
