Sometimes SQL Servers filters very late

and it is possible to have divide by zero on rows that aren't relevant

because they are done before SQL Server decides to filter them out.

It makes it easier for the sysadmins in...

Congratulations!

We have a hybrid approach. I prefer working at the office, but I only have a commute of 15 minutes and my home isn't really setup for remote work.

Many work...

We began switching to c# scripts in SSIS to parse the excel and output the required columns

As SSIS get a litte love lately, thinking of moving to c#, powershell. We don't have very complicated workloads and excel is being read by a c# script inside SSIS

Thanks for sharing

A little late for the preview of the SQL 2025 feature list:

It will, all the new students basically grow up with GenAI,

That were AI may come in handy to manage the complexity

Thanks for mentioning the new interesting commands.

According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/jaro-winkler-distance-transact-sql?view=azuresqldb-current it's still in preview

Times flies, thanks for the reminder. Didn't switch yet to 2022

Had to create a custom role on the resourcegroup https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/database-import?view=azuresql&tabs=azure-powershell

Instant file initialization in sql 2022? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/database-instant-file-initialization?view=sql-server-ver16

However the latency points to hardware ( perhaps an ssd buffer got full, your sql server got migrated to slower storage due inactivity ...)
