    So, rather than piss and moan about not getting equal pay for equal work, why not learn what career and job negotiating strategies work best and use them?

  • RE: Women and Men - Same or Different?

    To me, this is a very easy issue to deal with.

    The legal barriers to women progressing equally in the workplace have been removed.

    If women aren't choosing to enter the IT...

    David,

    Very interesting points. Interested in walking through an article or two with a real system? Maybe something like SSC or a blog site and do a...

    Incidentally, the single best book I've ever found for learning how to think correctly as a data modeler can be found here:

    Personal rant about blogging is how long it takes. I'm already reading SQL mags and studying for a cert, and all this after putting in 40+ hours per week....

    Great points. That little attention to detail and taking just a little bit longer to do good design in the beginning will inevitably save time down the road.

    Thanks,...

  • RE: The Design Investment

    A good database design doesn't have to take a long time to do.

    That includes written business definitions for each table and column, plus a list of specific business...

    Thanks for the comments. I got a test of log shipping up yesterday just to learn how to do it.

    I have a report I wrote that will...

    Sharepoint's the biggest, at a bit over 200GB.
