I Need a CS Degree. I Don't Need a CS Degree 3:23

8h ago3:23

3:23

For a long time I've felt that my recommendation for people wanting to enter technology wasn't to go to college and get a degree, but rather start to learn on your own and get an entry level job (help desk, tech support, etc.) and start to work in the industry. That's a good way to both experiment and understand what you're considering undertaking …

The Cloud Security Problem 4:03

17h ago4:03

4:03

Your management gets a great demo from a cloud vendor and decides that the organization needs to implement the new service/application/etc. quickly. Your team tries to comply, furiously learning and experimenting with integrations, software changes, infrastructure configuration, and more. Things get deployed are working. Clients and management are …

Databases for Executives 3:10

2d ago3:10

3:10

There's an article at Forbes about the Five Things Business Leaders Should Know about Databases. Disclosure, it's by my boss, but I think it's still a good read. These are points we've learned from research and work with customers and prospects at Redgate Software. These points come from you, as well as from executives with whom we work, but there …

Knowing Your Total Reward 3:43

8d ago3:43

3:43

For much of my career as a younger person, I was mostly concerned with salary at a job, along with the opportunities for my career. I really wanted to know how much money would hit my bank account and cared most about that. I also wanted to know if I would learn something or get a better title or work with a technology that might help me in the fut…

When Companies Fail 2:48

11d ago2:48

2:48

I own a Tesla, which is essentially a computer on wheels. Much of the way the car works is driven by software, which I love. New features have appeared and minor fixes come through in the same way that they do for apps on my mobile device. It can be annoying to wait for an update to install, which has happened when my wife or I start the update rem…

Tech Debt Perils 3:20

10d ago3:20

3:20

My wife and I have been thinking about some new audio equipment. We've been a little unhappy with our Bose soundbar because of the software flakiness and sporadic network connectivity issues. In looking around, I saw a Sonos product, but after reading a bit about the company's recent history, I decided to look elsewhere. Sidebar: if any of you have…

The Vast Expansions of Hardware 5:36

12d ago5:36

5:36

At the Small Data conference recently, one of the talks looked at hardware advances. It was interesting to see a data perspective on hardware changes, as many of us only worry about the results of hardware: can I get my data quickly? In or out, most of us are more often worried about performance than specs. However, today I thought it might be fun …

The Modern Algorithm of Chance 4:20

14d ago4:20

4:20

These days algorithms rule much of the world. From how supply chains are managed to how vehicles run their engines to the media that many of us watch on the various streaming services. I assume that most of you know that algorithms drive what you see on social media, on YouTube, and even the search results you get, and what you see might be differe…

Everything is Code 3:17

23d ago3:17

3:17

I posted a note on Twitter/X with this quote: “The content updates had not previously been treated as code because they were strictly configuration information.” This is from testimony given by Crowdstrike to a US Congressional committee in trying to explain how they grounded much of the airline industry a few months ago. That was a mess of a situa…

Keep. It. Simple. 4:59

25d ago4:59

4:59

I get a tech newsletter most days, which has news that I enjoy, but interspersed among the news and ads are projects, frameworks, or repos, most of which I've never heard of before. I used to read these, but it seems that there is an endless list of these, which all have marketing descriptions that somehow claim this set of code solves problems tha…

Episode 280: A Focus on Microsoft Fabric 18:56

18:56

At the Microsoft Build Conference in May 2023, Microsoft announced the new Fabric, where you could slice and dice all your data harmoniously within the environment. A few months later, Kevin, Eugene, and I discussed this evolution of the Azure Data platform in episode 267, and our thoughts on the vision for it's future, our expectations, and predic…

The Load of Real Time Data Warehouses 3:52

27d ago3:52

3:52

If you have a data warehouse, what do you think your ratio of reads to writes is on any given day? Do you think 1:1, as in one read for each write? Is it 10:1, with 10 reads for each write? 100:1? Do you track this in any way? One would think that most of the databases we work on in the transactional world have many more reads than writes. I'd have…

Where's the Printer Friendly Option? 2:57

1M ago2:57

2:57

When is the last time you read an article/blog/etc. on the Internet and saw a button for a print friendly version? That used to be something on every page, and one people often shared on social media (or email) because it didn't have all the advertisements in it. I remember having to help code this feature on SQL Server Central when we started as p…

Cleaning Up Your Database 3:19

1M ago3:19

3:19

How many of you have objects in your database that aren't being used? What about something in a schema with a _old in the name? Or _2 or _3 or _delete? There is a lot of old, deprecated stuff I see in production databases. In fact, I've been somewhat amazed as I work with clients that many of the scripts we can build from a database with SQL Compar…

Effective Engineering 3:22

1M ago3:22

3:22

I'm not the smartest developer or DBA. I find myself mystified at times by Itzik's posts on T-SQL queries and I'm amazed at times by the complex systems that I see the DCAC people put together. I can usually figure things out (sometimes by asking the authors a question), but it's not always easy to do. We have some truly gifted, incredibly intellig…

Dead To Me 2:49

1M ago2:49

2:49

I saw a note from someone recently that reminded me of Policy-Based Management. This was (is?) a technology in SQL Server that I thought might have great potential. I even had a few presentations on the subject, but sadly I've rarely seen anyone implement it. I'm sure some do, but I think for me, this is dead technology. There have been other tech …

AI Is Great and Tech is Failing 3:13

1M ago3:13

3:13

On a recent weekend, I got a text from my bank that they had declined a charge to one of my business accounts. I called them back and they let me know there had been a couple of weird charges on the account that their AI system detected. This seems to happen every year or two so I wasn't overly worried. I cancelled the card and ordered a new one. A…

No Backdoors 3:06

3:06

Every once in awhile I hear about someone in law enforcement sure that tech people can build in a safe, secure way for data to be unencrypted by the company or vendor. The latest appears to be from Australia, where the Security Intelligence Organization wants tech companies to build this into products. Backdoors never work. Anytime an encryption ke…

Episode 279: SQL Server Migrations Demystified 1:03:07

1M ago1:03:07

1:03:07

If you use SQL Server, you will eventually have to migrate that instance somewhere – to a new version, a new server, the cloud . . . somewhere. Or perhaps you'll find yourself migrating from another database into SQL Server. No matter which way you slice it, SQL Server migrations can be daunting, not to mention complex and time-consuming. While we …

Bad Stored Procedures 3:02

1M ago3:02

3:02

I don't see a lot of SQL at The Daily WTF, but this one was great. It's a stored procedure that was likely just converted from embedded code, as noted by the poster. It's a strange set of code, that doesn't quite make sense to me, and I can't imagine why someone wrote it. Arguably, this is no better than having this code in a C# or ASP.NET applicat…

When Do We Worry About Scalability? 3:01

2M ago3:01

3:01

"We need to get the code written for feature X. Can you finish this query today?" We've all heard some variation of that request. We have a request or demand, and we need to get it done. We need to get code out so our business can advance, sell more things, get more customers, etc. There's always some reason to get new code pushed to production qui…
