Here's all the recordings from the 2021 virtual event. That'll give you some idea. Otherwise, I'd suggest using the Wayback Machine and seeing if that shows last...

I've had some changes, on both sides of the ledger over the last 3 years.  I wouldn't say things are back to "normal," at least if you define normal as...

So catching up and getting back into the forums here...

Saw the talk about the SQL conferences and this may be the first year I go to PASS Summit!  When my...

I'd give the "SCHEMA_OBJECT_CHANGE_GROUP" a try in your audit, that might do what you need.  I'm not where I have access to a test instance I could verify this on,...

I KNOW my info has been leaked, and several times from various breaches.  Aside from not using the same...

Ugh, I'm torn on this. On one hand, this might make things cheaper for some...

Fortunately, my employer has decided a majority of people can be Work From Home, with only some doing part WFH and part in-Office, and a rare, essential few doing...

Anyone know the old joke about it being "your turn in the barrel?"

Replace the barrel with the office, and that's where I'm at today.  We're starting to come off 100%...
