I don't see how a must-finish-N-stories "Sprint Goal" does anything at all useful for anybody, at least not if you have any pretense of agility. Everything from effort to "value" makes no difference. You won't know the value (or the effort) until after you deliver. ↓

@blythemorrow Pls follow back so I can DM

Any Sr. DBAs looking for a new job? I have a great Sr. Consulting role for you. Totally remote. Small team. really cool work. DM me!

@_AlexYates_ The account still exists (linkedin.com/in/milanmilano…). The article was hastily changed to be less of a copy (under recently shared):

@Kendra_Little Congratulations, Kendra.

I started a new job today, and I'm bursting with excitement about it 💥 I am now a Technical Product Manager at Stack Overflow

@tsqltorg If you are trying to run tSQLt on a case-sensitive SQL Server Instance (not just a case-sensitive database), this release is for you.

New tSQLt release published: V1.0.8083.3529 Release Notes: tsqlt.org/844/tsqlt-v1-0… Download: tsqlt.org/download/tsqlt/ Days since the last release: 39

@tjaybelt Congrats on the new job.

In the last 56 days, I've had 27 working days at a job that terminated me, 11 PTO days, 4 holiday days, 14 weekend days. I've spoken to 96 people on LinkedIn, 15 saved jobs, 32 actual jobs looked at me, narrowed down to 20, rejected by 9, offers from 6, $ known for 8. I chose 1

@Kendra_Little Nice! Great article.

Y'all! My first new article in the Microsoft Docs has been published!!!!! I am sO exCiTED!!!111111! Thanks so much to my teammates and folks in the Microsoft Data Platform engineering team for the reviews and contributions 💘 docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/az…

Running tSQLt tests without the transaction is now possible. This allows for example testing of SSIS packages. It also allows you to shoot yourself in the foot. So, go gently.

Great session today. Loved everyone's questions at #PASSDataCommunitySummit. It seems a lot of people want to use #tSQLt on #AzureSQL DB. Let's upvote this @Microsoft feedback item: feedback.azure.com/d365community/…

@EdDebug It Is the fans. Just went through the same thing (without the keyboard). It’s a night&day difference since cleaning them. If you’re comfortable, open it up (make sure you get instructions online first). Air-cans just blow stuff in deeper and you risk condensation. #macperformance

My MacBook has been really overheating and running slow, until today where it has been on all day and is cold. I did two things: Sprayed air into fans and cleared out dust and broke the external keyboard so I have no external monitor. No idea which fixed it grrrr.

We're working on an online training series about Data Platform #DevOps, UnitTesting, and #tSQLt for #SQLServer. The first class will be ready soon. Want to be notified when it's ready? → sqlity.net/en/tSQLt-train…

Come join me for some live coding with Dmitrij (github.com/dkultasev) on tSQLt tomorrow 10/15 at noon EDT: youtube.com/watch?v=ELfagp…

@MSSQLServerDBA Thanks, @MSSQLServerDBA. I have tried the demo - it wasn't convincing enough. I need something else - preferably an article or @SQLServer documentation that leaves no room for doubt.

@sqlity Why don’t you demo instead? A few ideas… Execute the query and run sp_whoisactive to monitor. Alternately you could use query store or extended events. Another option would be to put an appropriate index on the tables and see which index was read.

#sqlhelp, looking for a convincing article: I have 2 tables in 2 different DBs but with the same name (db1.dbo.tbl & db2.dbo.tbl). I also have an SSP db1.dbo.sp1 that SELECT * FROM dbo.tbl; When calling EXEC db1.dbo.sp1; while being connected to db2, which table is accessed?

The answer seems obvious, but I need some help convincing a friend.

Confirmed: The DNS records that tell systems how to find Facebook.com or Instagram.com got withdrawn this morning from the global routing tables. Can you imagine working at FB right now, when your email no longer works & all your internal FB-based tools fail?
