    I love it. Make a movie.

    We need an action movie where the hero is a fed up IT guy. It seems like we always get marginalized as supporting...

    On the Microsoft platform:

    HDInsight for raw bulk storage, SSIS for connecting most anything to most anything else, SQL Server / SSAS for building the single version of truth database,...

  • RE: Datamart requirements and design - where to start?

    mayurkb (4/17/2015)


    Thank you again and understood.

    Does everything that apply to data warehouse also apply to datamart? We are not really IT and not making a datamart for my company. We...

  • RE: Would a Duress Password be a Good Idea?

    The user id + duress password combination should redirect to a "honeypot" server that mimics a production envrionment in such a way that it would take some time for the...

  • RE: Embrace Stored Procedures

    My experience has been that, for both data warehouses and transactional databases, disk I/O is the biggest bottleneck. If you're maxing out CPU, then look for recompiles or cursors.

  • RE: Embrace Stored Procedures

    Encapsulating the database through stored procedures does require a degree of constant communication and collaboration between the application and database team. For example, I've seen cases where app or BI...

  • RE: The Opportunistic Hacker

    Given the scenario, I'd leave power cord, mouse, umbrella, coffee, and egg bagel at the table, but not my laptop. It's too easy to just unplug and pack it with...

  • RE: Your Cloud Held Hostage – Could It Happen?

    Gary Varga (4/17/2015)


    So we need to consider the failing of aspects of SLAs which might be too risky to ignore.
