We're Not Faster with AI

  • Editorial

At Redgate Software, we've been trialing Copilot from GitHub with our developers. I managed to get access for this experiment and have tried a few things, though I'm not sure I've found it very useful. I'll continue to work with Copilot, but for now, I just don't find Copilot AI helping me with the types […]

Creating Test Data

  • Editorial

This editorial was originally published on Jan 9, 2020. It is being re-run as Steve is out of town. Test data is hard to come by, and I agree with Brent Ozar: " I get so frustrated when I hear trainers/presenters/bloggers/idealists talk about how developers should be using purpose-built-from-scratch data sets with no real customer […]

Question of the Day

A Quick Restore

While doing some testing of an application, I wanted to reset my environment after doing some testing with this code:

USE DNRTest

BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'

*/RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
What happens if this runs, assuming the "bunch of stuff" isn't anything affecting the instance.
