There's a ton of tools both commercial and OSS that help visualize data. Two of my favorites are Excel and IPython Notebook.

The SQL Server community has been the main reason I haven't gone totally to over to OSS with database development. Think about that. (The fact that C# and F# rock...

That's reality, but the problem is MS is not investing in the tooling or features beyond what's needed to get a sale. That's short term thinking that allows other tools...

I'd agree with this. If you find SSIS difficult, use something else.
It's not that SSIS is difficult, it's just that's limited by it's graphical interface and some/much of the...

There are folks who successfully use SSIS every day; what they have is a pattern that works.
Yes, but wouldn't they be more productive if Microsoft listened to the feedback...

Now if they would just nuke SSIS from orbit. Millions of man hours lost to its quirks...

One easy source of topics is SQL 2016. Lots of new features. Explore them. What questions do you have as you start on each? Write them down and work out...

I'd blog more, but 95% of my coding is for my current job and getting anything even remotely related to the work I do released for any sort of publication...

In those two cases, the only really valid reasons for scrapping a working system; the organization has an opportunity to adopt better, faster, new/emerging technologies.
True.

This isn't about RavenDB over SQL Server. It's about choosing any technology based on the staff and skills you have, or can get. Every technology has some based of users,...
