  • RE: Open Source the MCM

    A lot of the fun of the MCM lab was that the questions had surprising catches. The questions and answers alone weren't enough - the lab environment itself had tricky...

  • RE: #sqlhelp

    Even with trusted sources - sometimes (often?) we can get it wrong, too. It's easy to misinterpret a 140-character question, or leave out a crucial detail.

    Another thing I like about...

  • RE: Caching

    It's funny how often this happens to me in real life. Working with a customer yesterday, their #1 most resource-consuming query was running every 5 minutes to fetch all new...

    Going to my first SQL Summit and shaking Itzik Ben-Gan's hand. His fundamentals for SQL Server book is what I cut my teeth on. Getting to shake...

    Doh! I just hit F5 on that page and now it's working as of 9:27 am. Brent, did you fix that?

    Yeah, I traced back the problem through the...

  • RE: Memories of 2013

    My favorite memory is hearing that my stuff is other people's favorite memories, heh.

    My least favorite memory: trying to troubleshoot people's computers and networks as they reach my site. :rolleyes:

  • RE: It's not the platform

    Why is it headline news that you agree with me, Steve? Are you saying you don't always agree with me, is that what you're saying? You'd better not be lying...

  • RE: Merry Christmas 2013

    Awww, wow, sad to see the podcast end, but looking forward to seeing what you're focusing on next.

  • RE: SQLServerCentral Runs sp_Blitz - Informational Items

    Thanks for showing this to folks and including your findings!

    A couple of quick notes - the Cost Threshold thing isn't really seconds. The BOL topic says it's seconds for a...

  • RE: SQLServerCentral Runs sp_Blitz - Security

    Ha! No worries. Do you have T-SQL handy to detect that? If so, can you email it to me at help@brentozar.com? If so I'll add it to the check, but...

  • RE: SQLServerCentral Runs sp_Blitz - Security

    Ooo, nifty! Thanks, I'll give that a shot - I don't have a multi-instance VM at the moment, but I happen to be working with a client later today...

  • RE: SQLServerCentral Runs sp_Blitz - Security

    I'd love to see someone else do it, but I'm not aware of how to enumerate the list of instances that way.

  • RE: SQLServerCentral Runs sp_Blitz - Security

    Hahaha, yeah. There's a few similar things I'd like to be able to detect (partition alignment, driver versions, etc) but there's only so far I can go in T-SQL. ...

  • RE: SQLServerCentral Runs sp_Blitz - Security

    The question is - how do you get a list of named instances inside T-SQL? I'm not aware of a way to do that.
