    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

  • Reply To: For a "typical" datawarehouse, does it make sense to add databricks to the ETL

    To add to what Jeff (and you) said, I wouldn't throw technology at a problem unless you know that it is the solution. And if you don't know what the...

  • Reply To: Laptop Recommendations for 2019

    @jefferyjordan26 - my advice would be to ask that recommendation on a vdj forum not a SQL server forum. That being said, I would look at the recommended specs for...
