Prepare For the Disaster Before The Disaster
Kind of like some previous common sense posts inspired by mundane tasks (Day Job Tips learned from the garden, a dump trip, etc.), I was hit with another blog thought today. This goes well with my post – Plan To Fail or Don’t Expect To Succeed. Updated: Added a sound piece of advice in the … Read more

Create Your Own SQL Server Server Roles
So you’ve heard the buzz by now – SQL Server Denali is now available in a Community Technology Preview. This was announced, released and handed out in DVD form at the SQL PASS Summit this past week. I just got the chance to install it and I played with one feature that I could see … Read more
