My name is Patrick Keisler and I have been a Microsoft SQL Server DBA for over 12 years.  During that time I have been working for Wells Fargo Securities.  I have gained considerable knowledge over this time in various production support duties, including performance tuning, database design, database maintenance, monitoring, and project management.  I started this blog to share my knowledge of SQL Server with the hope of saving DBAs time and effort in their everyday tasks.
