So by default a SQL Audit will capture ALL activity by all Logins, with no filtering.  The filters are for excluding users / particular actions / individual databases (if you...

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here.

You have a SQL Audit, you have an AD Group with members, and you're trying to filter on something, but I'm not...

I think I see the disconnect between what you're saying and what I'm saying.  I'm coming at this from a "production DBA" mindset, where I don't normally develop code for...

Steve,

I'm torn on the vibe coding point you raise.  On the one hand, at least if the code is coming from a person, it's possible to go to them and...

David, I'm not one of those "reject AI output out-of-hand" people (and I know you weren't calling me out, either,) but I do take the comment Steve made in the...

I'd say the biggest downside / risk of not using encryption between the clients and the SQL Server would be the possibility of someone "sniffing" your network traffic, getting a...

The hallway track might be helpful, but I (so far) find so many sessions that I want to go to that I'd need to clone myself 3 or 4 times...

I found it almost amusing this year that I went to Summit with the intent of breaking out of my shell and networking, at least a little, and nearly every...

A possible clarification to add to the article, that the docker-compose file has two requirements that threw me for a bit:

So there's a few of the features in 2025 I do feel I'm looking forward to getting at this point.  For me, as a "Production DBA," the being able to...
