Does this SQL Features Explorer try to find all SQL Server instances that are on the network? Where I work, we have hundreds, perhaps thousands of SQL instances, most of...

This is one of the things that really impress me about the #SQLFamily. How SQL Server professionals and data professionals care for each other. It is an inspiration. Last week...

If you know there are better practices you should follow, then take the few extra moments to implement them. If you don't know of good practices, start compiling a...

There are several jobs I didn't apply for because I didn't have all the job description asked for. It was here on SQL Server Central where I read it was...

I hadn't looked up the pricing of Azure DevOps for a large-ish, small group (20 people). Thank you for letting me know. I agree that $90/month or $80/month is reasonably...

Thank you, David. I learned a little more after making my post a couple days ago. Looks like the group that want a Git repo are doing so because whatever...
