  • RE: Why Would You Move?

    When my son got married a few years back I went out to dinner with the guys in the wedding party. Table conversation (d?)evolved into SQL server vs Oracle. Ah...

  • RE: Why Would You Move?

    Well Developers do have access to SQL Server Developer version for next to nothing unless things have changed lately in that regard.

    At the office we have an action pack subscription...

  • RE: Why Would You Move?

    What's so expensive about MS development? SQL Server Express still allows 10GB and is free. There are express versions of Visual Studio if cost cutting is the end-aim.

    How many companies/developers...

  • RE: Mercenary

    We have processes which ensure the quality of work where I'm employed. I don't find much passion in the normal day-to-day work, been here too long... What I love is...

  • RE: Document, then Install

    We also have senior people who do not take the time to assist the new or inexperienced but leave them to learn/fail on their own.

    Anyone can install SQL Server...

  • RE: Document, then Install

    Maybe it take considerable skill to imagine a system correctly?

    This is part of being a professional. It's also a sign of a mature community the computer industry is becoming.

  • RE: Continuous Delivery for Windows?

    IMO Microsoft didn't go to a two year release cycle with SQL to improve the product - they did it to improve revenue.

    Bingo!

    That's why we still have happy clients running...

  • RE: Continuous Delivery for Windows?

    I already run several systems, (Linux), that can use continuous Delivery through package managers, plus utilize a large software ecosystem (Anaconda/Python) that can use the same.

    It's all fine until...

  • RE: The Next Five Years

    There appears to be only one large union of states which I think works together. In my opinion this is due to the vast amount of land and resources, the...

  • RE: The Next Five Years

    I think the next five years of any technical progress will be overshadowed by economic and political issues. And those issues are too depressing to consider on a Monday... :unsure:

    But...

  • RE: The Decline of SQL Server

    mariadb could be some insurance here, develop your stuff for mysql and make darn sure it will run on mariadb.

    MySQL is still OSS and has many more developers and...

  • RE: How to get from MSBI land to LAMP (youtubes, sites, books)?

    Give Pentaho a shot.

    Word of caution: Just because the software is free, doesn't mean it's economical.

  • RE: The Decline of SQL Server

    We've got major apps that will only run on certain VERSIONS (forget platforms) of Java and won't even coexist on a machine.

    That's a developer issue that could occur on with...

  • RE: The Decline of SQL Server

    One word: Java

    Horrendous mess.

    I'm not fond of Java as a language. Nor browser applets. And it still needs some serious work on fixing security issues.

    But you know what?...

  • RE: The Decline of SQL Server

    MySql ceased to be a viable alternative the minute Oracle purchased the technology.

    Actually it's becoming a better technology because Oracle can afford to pay developers to make real improvements...
