I'm Andy Warren, currently a SQL Server trainer with End to End Training. Over the past few years I've been a developer, DBA, and IT Director. I was one of the original founders of SQLServerCentral.com and helped grow that community from zero to about 300k members before deciding to move on to other ventures.

I previously blogged about using newid() to get random ordering and after chatting with Steve about it, decided to write about it a little more detail for two reasons. One is that sites like SSC thrive by increasing their surface area and it's always good to have an article that… Read more
Our one day free SQL Server event is slowly gaining momentum! Draft schedule is at http://www.sqlsaturday.com/schedule.aspx. 30 sessions total and a great list of speakers. If you're near Orlando on Nov 10th hope you'll plan to attend.

I attended for the morning and Brian attended in the afternoon and did a session as well. It was interesting to compare it to the Orlando and Tampa events that we've been to recently. I think Orlando was the most well run in terms of most of the details. Orlando… Read more
We went for a site visit Tues and I think it will really work out well for us. Good parking, easy to find, and brand new building so all is clean and shiny. Everyone has pretty much the same formula for these events; welcome and keynote, sessions, lunch, sessions, closing… Read more

We had a visitor from another group at our recent www.opass.org meeting and it was interesting that one bit of feedback was because we had filled every seat the visitor felt it made for a better experience because people talked more to each other - due to sheer proximity, where… Read more
Last night we had one of bi-monthly meetings of oPASS (Orlando SQL Servers User Group) and we had a pretty good time, ranging from some nice raffle prizes to a good presenation on XML to our now standard puzzle event. There's nothing quite like a puzzle in any form to… Read more
This was fun to write. It's a subject I'm passionate about and that too few in our field seem to spend time thinking about, sometimes from a lack of time but just as often from lack of focus. Of course Im not sure that the people that would benefit from… Read more
Big news here in Orlando is that Joe Celko will be presenting two sessions at SQLSaturday on Nov 10. Once we heard about that we (we being End to End Training) worked out a deal to host 'Celko on SQL', a one day seminar by Joe for the not bad… Read more
The article went live earlier this week. Didn't quite accomplish what I had hoped I think, which was to point out that we all need to be open minded about solutions, best practices, and letting the occasional hack go to production. In hindsight the examples I used perhaps not the… Read more
