Does anyone know Mike Byrd?

  • Hi,

    I've been trying to access some links within an article written by Mike Byrd on Change Tracking.

    One of the pages is: [/url]

    Unfortunately, there appears to be an error when hyperlinking to the sql scripts.

    This is the same for all 3 parts of his article on change tracking.

    Does anyone know how I might get in contact with him, or if these articles and associated scripts are available anywhere else?

  • i just checked the wayback machine over at archive.org, which only had part two of the three part series,a nd pointed to SQL Saturday #234, since it was a presentation there. the links to 1 and 3 don't resolve.

    good luck on your hunt!

  • He was just presenting at SQL Saturday Oklahoma City this last weekend. We're acquainted, but I don't have a direct contact for him. Here's his LinkedIn page. You should be able to get in touch with him through that. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll work some of my contacts down in Texas. I'm sure we can get you in touch.

  • Hi Grant,

    Many thanks for replying. Yes, I had noticed Mike on LinkedIn already but was unable to mail with the account level I currently have; I'd have to upgrade.

    Basically, I'm just trying to get access to his change tracking scripts for ETL that he published on the web. At the moment I can only view his article but cannot reach the script links. If there' another way I might contact him then I'd be very grateful if you could help as I'm particularly keen on the method he has set out.

    Even if I were to get a 3rd party email address that could forward on to him, if he's concerned about privacy.

    I don't mind posting my email address here if that's one way to start the chain.

    don't try to email him. Try sending him a direct message on LinkedIn. Request a contact and tell him why. He's a nice guy. I'm sure he'll help you out. Let me know if that doesn't work before I start all the back channels to track him down.
