A Version Control Strategy for Branch-based Database Development
The migration to a different VCS should not be underestimated, as there is a lot more involved than just switching tools, and that’s what Tonie Huizer covers in this article.
First, the team needed to migrate the monolithic repos over to Git, second the team needed to make sure we had a branching strategy and workflow in place.
It involved a big process change for the team as well, but this switch is mandatory to make full use of branch-based database development.

DIY Database Clones
This article explores the 'shadow copy' and 'disk virtualization' services built into the Windows operating system and explains a basic solution demonstrating how the technology is used to copy the data and log files for a live SQL Server database into an 'image', from which we can create multiple, lightweight copies, or clones, of the original database.

Question of the Day
STRING_AGG's behavior
Executing the following script (Sql Server 2022), you get the table t0 with 10 rows:
CREATE TABLE t0
( id INT PRIMARY KEY
, field1 VARCHAR(1000)
, field2 VARCHAR(MAX));
INSERT INTO t0
SELECT
gs.value
, REPLICATE ('X', 1000)
, REPLICATE ('Y', 1000)
FROM generate_series(1, 10, 1) gs;
GOWhat happens if you execute the following statements?
select STRING_AGG(field1, ';') within group (order by id) from t0;
select STRING_AGG(field2, ';') within group (order by id) from t0;
