Grant, congratulations on having reached 61.  I wish you continued success and happiness approaching your retirement.  I do understand that we DBA's mostly have actually earned our retirement.  As I...

Rod, and what could be more productive that sending 'upper management' to conferences?

In my 42 years in IT with most of it as a DBA I never got to go to a conference.  The closest was a very few meetings with 2-3...

I'll admit that I am a culprit.  The dev instance looks like the SQL version of a condemned building.  Even PROD can be cleaned up a bit.

A decent project...

Steve, you touched a live wire on this one with me.  In my humble opinion ( and you all know how humble I am ), if you don't do the...

Hey, folks, I don't recall where I saw this a few days ago, but saved it.

My wife and I are on the other end of this spectrum.  We each had two sons when we met 46 years ago, each a teenager and a pre-teen, and...

I graduated in 1965 with a degree in Sociology and my alma mater had some sort of tiny computer buried away in a basement but I never even saw it. ...

Years ago, deployments to production had to be done out-of-hours.  We planned and rehearsed these meticulously and for the majority went well, maybe minor hiccups.  We were given a...
