I hosted this month, late as it turns out, but we still had a few entries. Here’s a look at the blogs people published.

Courtney Woolum writes about working with the IMDB database and needing to parse comma separated data with STRING_SPLIT and APPLY.
Lucas Kartawidjaja brings us a look at a data outside SQL Server using the Log Parser, a free CLI tool from Microsoft that works well with data outside of SQL Server.
Andy Brownsword tries out the new RegEx functions in SQL Server 2025.
