    I heard a story that an analysis of coin composition revealed the state of a nation's armament capability.

    Data is like fissile material. Once it gains critical...

  • RE: Culture and Performance

    If you work in IT the chances are that you are above average intelligence.

    If you have an IT department of 100 people then that is 100 above average brains that...

    I heard a story that an analysis of coin composition revealed the state of a nation's armament capability.

  • RE: SQL, and Ye Shall Find

    The frustration for me is that people start wailing that an RDBMS does not do web scale with very little idea of what that actually means in their context.

    Then there...

  • RE: The New Operating System

    There is a difference between management and leadership. I know senior managers who I wouldn't follow out of a burning building.

    I've known leaders that I would follow into one.

    I've...

  • RE: Queues in Databases

    When all I had was msmq I used a simple DB design to give a persistent ordered queue.

    It worked, was efficient and didn't increase the technology footprint.

    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.
