  • RE: Zombie Data

    This overlaps with my belief that all software systems should be delivered with a comprehensive decommissioning plan. By comprehensive I mean that it should cover all forms of data (including...

  • RE: Big Data Comes to Hiring

    I have had a few contract opportunities come through what can be referred to as networking. Sometimes there are limits due to the global nature of my network (and presumably...

  • RE: Mongo Jumbo Backups

    If you want service packs, let Microsoft know. I think they're on the fence right now, but it takes some voices voting to get them...

  • RE: Servicing SQL Server in the Future
