It has been a long time since the last weekly reading post. We have been in Shanghai and Bangalore during the time. We attended in #DPS10 in Bangalore – the biggest Asian data platform conference driven by a community (Data Platform Geeks). I delivered workshop, sessions, open talk and round table. More on this will be published soon in a blog post.
Now let’s see what has happened in the data platform world. It looks like a lot of things happened in the last two weeks of vacations

TSQL2sday: I Just Wish SQL Server Could Restore a Single Object from Backup
We got luck to have Brent last week on our Data Community meeting in Gliwice. This time you have a very short blog with one of the most important features you might imagine SQL Server would have in the future. That is my dream!
Cheers,
