  • RE: How would you set up your server?

    I hate shared disks. SAN admins usually get upset at me because I want the underlying architecture. Sales reps aren't thrilled either that I complain when they put all the...

  • RE: Any Plans for a Stairway to SQL Server Analysis Services

    Actually, I got the first draft of the first article yesterday. I'll review this week, and depending on edits, I suspect we'll get the first one out in Mar. We...

    Backups are being stored on a network drive, so they are not on the same server in case of complete meltdown.

    And this server will have a RAID10 setup, so...

    Not mentioned is the OS. If I only have two drives, the OS on one and everything else on the other.

    Any ref here? I don't worry too much...

  • RE: How would you set up your server?

    Adding to what Scott says, where do backups go?

    Personally I would do "A" with backups on the second drive, away from data. So, if I had for a database

  • RE: SQL Injection, Still?

    Eric M Russell (2/17/2015)


    But are most data breaches the result of SQL injection or even ad-hoc database access by outsiders?

    It shouldn't be to hard to develop a function, or functions, on the application development side that test all SQL statements to prevent injection. Once that's done,...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Hope everyone had a great President's Day. We don't have the snow that Grant does, but we did get 8" or so in Winter Park.

    But how much of the data does an individual DBA need to see? ...

    Gary Varga (2/16/2015)


    On top of the "lazy" experienced developers the bar appears to be getting lower for new developers. Perhaps that is not accurate. Developers are being gauged on how...
