Triggers
Triggers. Who doesn’t like a good, lively debate about triggers? With the extreme cold that we’ve experienced this past week in the northeastern U.S., I feel like a little heated debate wouldn’t be a bad way to forget about the cold. But alas, I’m not here to talk about database triggers. Sorry, we’ll have to […]

Unstuck
Have you ever been stuck in some area of your life? Maybe at work? That big project. Progressing in your career. The slow query that seems impossible to make faster.

Same Language, Different Words
I had to come to the Redgate office in Cambridge this past week for a department onsite. As a result, my wife and I were able to come early for a few days adventuring together, the first trip we've taken by ourselves in nearly seven years. As a large family with six kids, it takes […]

The Human Factor
A week ago I was in Pasadena attending the SCaLE 20x conference, a gathering of many different open-source communities discussing the technologies and platforms that draw them together. I was fortunate enough to hear some excellent presentations on PostgreSQL and give two talks as well. After the first round of talks on Friday morning a […]

With the Rise of AI Chat, are Experts Still Needed?
As I looking at the feed of technology stories this week, two things jumped out at me. First, Valentine's day happened to fall on the monthly release day for Microsoft updates and feature previews. If you work with Azure services, specifically in the data platform space, there are a lot of update announcements to work […]

Question of the Day
Secure Cached Plans
The DMV, sys.dm_exec_cached_plans, contains rows for each cached plan on an instance. In Azure SQL Database, not every used has rights to every database, as there does exist an instance behind each database. How is security handled for this DMV in Azure?
