My personal challenge workwise is to learn WhereScape and Snowflake to build a warehouse from our two major Health Care systems plus the myriad of one-off systems we have...

I'm having the same problem time-wise.  As the old saying goes, "So say we all". 😀

I also have to admit there's great incentive in learning something new if you...

Thanks Jeff.

Yeah, I'm still at "barely functional" when it comes to PostgreSQL. I made a few fast leaps and then I just haven't been able to carve out time to...

There really is no easy way to about defining table access. The tools you have can show you the queries that have been run and/or the procedures that have been...

Another vote for Extended Events. Safe, as light weight as you can get while still monitoring behaviors on the system.

However, yes, you'll have to set something up in order to...

Without an error message of any kind, it could be sunspots, extra solar radiation or the vast conspiracy of the Bohemian Grove. We simply don't have enough information to say...

It's hard to say without a lot more data. Capture query metrics using extended events. Capture wait statistics (you can combine these with the query metrics using extended events so...

ALWAYS, go to Microsoft for accurate licensing information. They're just going to know better than some knucklehead on the internet, like me.

However, this one I think I can answer accurately...
