Now Is a Good Time for Choices

  • Editorial

The whole world is going through some interesting times. Chances are pretty high that you’re working from home and your principal interaction with others is through virtual means. I know I’m that way as is my company, Redgate Software. It can be challenging or rewarding, depending on how you go about it. What’s even more […]

Azure Data Studio and Deployment Notebooks

  • Editorial

Azure Data Studio (ADS) is a cross-platform tool that you can use to run T-SQL queries much as you have done using SQL Server Management Studio. No, the databases do not need to be hosted in Azure; the tool works fine for on-premises SQL Servers as well. I’ve started using ADS more as I teach […]

Why Getting Data Right Matters

  • Editorial

An InfoWorld article from 2017 suggests that 80 percent of a data scientist’s job is cleaning and transforming data, and I believe this is probably only true for organizations that spend at least an average effort in designing and implementing their data storage.

The New Year: A Chance to Start Over

  • Editorial

January 1st is the beginning of a new year thanks to Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory XIII.

Even though these celebrations don’t fall at the same time, I think the sentiment is similar. The […]
