I worked with a DBA who took a back up of production data (including CC, ID, and other sensitive info), zipped it up, and sent it...

I would rather a table named tblCustomer than one named A72GZF (or something equally nonsensical). Quite the opposite, I tend to be somewhat verbose when naming objects. Sure, there's a...

With a good chunk of technology jobs now being created in places where women have less status than a dog, the disparity is only going to become more pronounced, isn't...

Irrelevant since we are all going to end up in the Cloud 🙂

That's the last straw. Plain text passwords stored in memory...what an atrocity! That's it; I'm getting rid of all my software and going back to paper files secured with armed...

What's this...duplicate PK's? That never happens! Well, you know how to solve that one. Choose one and discard the others 🙂
