Seamless Upgrade
One of the things mentioned in a keynote at the recent PASS conference was the idea that SQL Server 2008 would be a seamless upgrade. Or maybe I misunderstood and it will seem less like an upgrade 🙂

Compliance
The Sarbanes-Oxley act has become a four letter word to many IT people in the US. Thankfully I only had to deal with it for about 9 months before I left to go work on my own, but it was a long 9 months. Especially since I did half the work with JD Edwards and then did it again with Peoplesoft 🙁

Should you dog food your own software? Steve Jones thinks this is a good idea if it works for your particular product.

What Should A DBA Be Doing?
I came across an interesting blog post on jobs, which actually caught me eye after another blog on time spent on various things, many of which are not necessarily important to your business.

The September Energy Update
I think you'll be happy to know that there are interesting people out there. One of my neighbors, maybe a couple miles away, has a windmill that I've watched run regularly as I drove my daughter to school all last year. I finally grabbed their address one day and wrote them a letter, not wanting to just walk up to their door with a list of questions. I waited patiently for a couple weeks and finally got an email.

Free Training
I heard on Thursday a couple weeks ago that someone who had received a free admission to the PASS conference had cancelled and wasn't able to attend. It was last minute and that pretty much ruled out any chance to have a contest, so I called a friend in Denver who's a DBA and doesn't get much of a budget for training. I offered him the admission and he said he'd let me know Friday.

Three Months
That's what we were estimating the rewrite of this site would take. After all, to me it's a pretty simple site, a few content sections, some date specific stuff, scheduling, a few admin tools, not that much, right?

Question of the Day
Which Result II
I have this code in SQL Server 2022:
CREATE SCHEMA etl;
GO
CREATE TABLE etl.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT etl.product
VALUES
(2, 'Bee AI Wearable');
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.product
VALUES
(1, 'Spiral College-ruled Notebook');
GO
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE etl.GettheProduct
AS
BEGIN
exec('SELECT ProductName FROM product;')
END;
GO
When I execute this code as a user whose default schema is dbo and has rights to the tables and proc, what is returned? See possible answers
