  • RE: Error starting debugging. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)

  • RE: Sr SQL Server DBA title....Jr DBA responsibilities???

    I doubt that will happen. Remember that SA in this case means server admin, not SysAdmin (SQL Server speak) and that they are using a third party tool. That third...

  • RE: Is Microsoft Certification Becoming Worthless?

  • RE: Did I do the right thing?

    The thing that's kept me going in interviews is to mention (when asked) what I don't know but to also emphasis how eager I am to learn said skill. That...
