    calendar Oct 18, 2012 · SQL Server  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Back at the first Chicago Free-Con event in 2011, Brent Ozar was talking about how wonderful the SQL Saturday movement is and prophesized that in the near future we'll be seeing similar free training events put on by individual vendors instead of community volunteers. Eighteen months later I found myself at Red Gate's …

  • Wanted: More Object Explorer Filters

    calendar Sep 25, 2012 · SQL Server SSMS  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    More often than not, I’ll expand the “Tables” folder in SQL Server Management Studio and browse the list to find whatever table or index I’m looking for. This works well in many situations, but when your database has over 20,000 tables, the results can be overwhelming! As your databases get larger and more complex, you …

  • Do your backups run at the right time?

    calendar Jul 31, 2012 · SQL Server  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Many articles on database backups reference running database backups and maintenance processes overnight. In lots of situations this is a great idea, especially if you’re dealing with a transactional system that has users connecting to the database during the day and minimal activity outside of business hours. But for …

  • SQL Saturday #119 Update

    calendar May 3, 2012 · SQL Server  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Chicago's third annual SQL Saturday will soon be upon us, and as food and beverage coordinator it's my job to obsess over what's on the menu. SQL Saturday food offerings seem to have evolved over time. The first few I attended offered pizza, which is of course a great way to feed a large number of people. While very …

  • Compression Estimates That Don’t Make Sense

    calendar Apr 26, 2012 · SQL Server  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    "Statistics means never having to say you're certain" is a well-known quote that would often come up in my AP Statistics class back in high school. The same can be implied for estimation, and while estimates need not be perfect, they should at least be logical. While estimating the effects of compressing data …

  • Preventing SSRS From Changing Text Size

    calendar Apr 12, 2012 · SQL Server SSRS  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Every once in a while I find myself building a report in SQL Server Reporting Services. I know my way around SSRS enough to get a report looking the way I like, but I'm definitely not an expert in the subject. While developing a report recently I noticed some very strange behavior that I have a hard time believing is …

There's no formal agenda, just an excellent meal and some great conversation. Perhaps a respected expert is available to answer questions and bounce ideas off of. Does …
