  • RE: Training at the Top

    A good vulnerability test company will rip holes in anything with a weakness.

    The level my team has to deal with is considering vulnerabilities in cloud hypervisors and steps...

    Gary Varga (1/28/2016)


    I am not being facetious here (I know, surprise) but perhaps putting the cyber security education and implementation remit under the Health & Safety umbrella might be all...

  • RE: Crafting Your Resume

    Curious what constitutes a suspicious gap, and does this apply when looking for contractors? What about a contractor looking for a permanent position now?

    Very short employment periods, lots of...

  • RE: Auto-suggesting foreign keys and data model archaeology

    It's migration per se. Could be for the purposes of absorption into the data warehouse or to replace the legacy system.

    The overarching idea is to gain knowledge of the...

  • RE: Crafting Your Resume

    I've got at least 2 jobs on the strength of people coming across articles on SQLServerCentral.

    You didn't mention the Integration Services Data Profiling task (AFAICS).

    Good suggestion. Why not submit an article on the use of Data Profiler?

    I've not used the SSIS...

  • RE: Auto-suggesting foreign keys and data model archaeology

    The trick here was to try to encapsulate what a human would do but in code.

    If you do this sort of thing once in a blue moon then manual approaches...

  • RE: DeveloperBall

    I play badminton and have seen a low ranked pair beat a far more skilled opposition simply because the no-hopers worked well together.

    I've seen various personality assessment schemes such as...

  • RE: DeveloperBall

    Teams are so complex! People with similar personalities may work well together or they may clash.

    I'm not sure...

    If you had ever the fun to deal with the advanced quantum mechanics of oracle licensing you're really happy with the 'all inclusive' approach of sql server.

  • RE: Muting the Immutable

    I can understand doing this for a very limited number of datasets. I think it would create problems for Kimball data warehouse systems where we need slow changing dimensions....
