  • RE: Can SQL Server do ‘Big’?

    I commonly talked to people at the NTSSUG that have very large SQL Server environments, (mainly medical and financial), but I personally haven't had a client that requires something of...

  • RE: If we can do it, so can you

    I may be paranoid, but I don't trust the cloud at all.

    Let's look at the issues.

    1) Security: With the revelations about the NSA and corporations, plus the fact that...

  • RE: If we can do it, so can you

    This isn't about deployment, but rather development.

    Doesn't make a difference. As a developer/admin and the guy who has to help work on the IT budget, it's the same.

    Keep...

  • RE: If we can do it, so can you

    If I deploy to any external, off premises third party cloud, it's not going to be Azure. Considering all the management and technical mistakes that have come out of Redmond...

  • RE: The Future of Knowledge Measurement

    Why not base your decision on the candidate's academic qualifications?

    College and university exams are far more rigorous and comprehensive than any interview tests can ever be.

    LOL!

    Degrees are not...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    Fair enough, although I've already posted some thoughts on the value of the program, and the other programs at different levels.

    I think right now we are arguing over history, which...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    Are the very best at their craft really saying there is an issue or is it some of the very best who have invested a great deal of time and...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    SSC is in the cloud. The Rackspace cloud. All virtual, all hosted, none on RG property. Actually works seamlessly from when it was in a friend's basement.

    And it works...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    What you typed however is not the compelling argument that I was hoping for.

    It's not my job to educate you. I'm not going to do your homework. I'm not going...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    Oh no! I said I was in the minority, I never said I was wrong

    You're not wrong, you're just ignorant of the significance of the situation and being trollingly obtuse....

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    Don't worry about it, I'm probably in the minority here and its not unknown territory for me!

    You are the loud person in the quiet library. The SUV in the...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    So why do we only respect the MCM?

    Because it's broad and practical and requires years of real actual quality experience to pass. (Give me enough study time and I could...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    Certifications are meaningless.

    In this case the Master is meaningful since it actually required a practical lab test that according to the people who have taken it, couldn't be gamed or...

  • RE: It's not you; it's us

    As a jack-of-all trades where SQL Server is only 15% of my job, I think this is just another f*** you stupid move from the out-of-touch management in Redmond.

  • RE: Would You Choose SQL Server?

    From Brent Ozar, the software license cost three times the hardware...

    For our design, we ended up with:

    •Dell PowerEdge R720 with 2 quad-core CPUs, 384GB memory – $10k

    •16 Samsung 840 Pro...
