  • RE: I Want a Database

  • RE: Certification High School

    From my experience, and observations with others in the IT/IS field over the last 15 years, certifications are neither necessary nor sufficient to indicate that a person is a qualified...

  • RE: Over-Engineering

    It's unfortunate I believe, but over-engineering is the norm in today's software development. Many people probably remember the term spaghetti code, referring to poorly structured code with little or...

  • RE: Using Indexes to Reduce Blocking in Concurrent Transactions

    It was a fairly good article, and brings an interesting approach to the table, but I think the concept is a little outdated. This would have been more relevant...

  • RE: Disaster Recovery - An Afterthought?

    Steve Jones - Editor (6/30/2009)


    A disaster encompasses many things, not just losing a data center. A disaster can be someone deleting a single table (or even row), coffee spilled on...

  • RE: Disaster Recovery - An Afterthought?

    I guess I'll never get it then. To me, XML is only a transfer mechanism of hierarchical data between potentially heterogeneous systems, not a place to persist data. ...

  • RE: LINQ - SQL Server 2008

    Is there anyone who actually uses LINQ? I'm jut curious because to me conceptually it seems to just add an extra layer of complexity to an already over complex...

  • RE: Going Native

    For someone who's an "accidental" or ocasional DBA, Maintenance plans are fine. They allow them to simply setup the basic maintenance of the database with little understanding of what...
