@shaunrein This is why I described myself as an immigrant to Denmark, not an expat

While in Porto at NDC Porto, I sat down with @richcampbell to talk about unit testing transactional database code on @RunAsRadio Check it out here: buff.ly/3AQE7Pd

On my way to Seattle for @PASSDataSummit! Can’t wait to see the #sqlfamily and talk about unit testing transactional database code!

Excited to be on my way to @NDC_Conferences #NDCPorto! I’ll be talking about unit testing transactional databases and making an appearance on @RunAsRadio

@RestinBeachFace Depending on travel time to the airport, that seems…extreme. I’m over 35, and I rarely want to arrive at the airport much more than 30 minutes before boarding (unless passport control is involved).

@GFritchey Bold strategy. I hope the appropriate sacrifices to the demo gods have been made

Updating SSMS before my session tomorrow.

Afternoon sessions of #UpdateConference with @LaylaCodesIt, @aSteveCleary, @_Codrina_, @PeterDrougge, @michael_staib, @RolandGuijt, @PoornimaNayar, @DanielMallott, @irina_scurtu, @suushier, @konradkokosa, @sanna_diana, and @ed_dotnet. Everybody enjoys it.

🟡 Do you have a database table with a high number of concurrent requests? Then don't miss out on this session by @DanielMallott - you will learn many valuable tips and tricks to solve the problem. 🎫 updateconference.net #UpdateConference #UCP

Hey #sqlfamily, I have a good friend who is looking for a new role. They have 6+ years experience as a Data Engineer working with SQL Server and large data sets. Prefer remote, but open to relocation for the right role - hit my DMs if you have a good role open!

@SQLBits X marks the app I may finally no longer use

What are your thoughts on the Twitter rebrand to X?👀

@davebally Because app devs automatically think all stored procedures are bad and DBAs automatically think all ORM access is bad. Both sides are right and wrong. There is no good reason to be writing stored procs for CRUD in 2023. For complex logic, though? Gimme some of that

OK Twitter Sphere roast me. What are Stored Procedures considered tech debt. They can be source controlled, deployed ( not as simply as Api code, true) and tested. So why ?

.@SAS is not the best *A carrier in Europe, but it usually gets delay communication right. Except today for SK1586 BCN -> CPH. They are stubbornly insisting it will leave on time in 25 minutes, even though the incoming aircraft is still over an hour away.

I’m nearing the NDC Superfecta! Happy to be speaking at #ndcporto this fall! I’ll be talking about my journey from the US to Denmark!

@Chris_L_Ayers As with everything, there is nuance. While the mass transit is certainly more comprehensive than in most of the US (although it doesn’t feel hugely different from Chicago), it tends to be less disability-friendly and more prone to strikes.

As an American traveling in Europe, I’m in awe of the public transportation systems and options. Bus, Tram, Subway, Train. We have limited options in the us that outside of a few major cities work only half as good as the European systems.

@Chris_L_Ayers @lufthansa Oh no….

@DanielMallott So after calling @lufthansa MULTIPLE times, letting them know I would not be on that FRA-NUE flight, to cancel it but keep my NUE->TPA flight.. They canceled everything. Booking home gone. Calling support was no help. They told me to just go buy a new ticket.

I’ve flown @lufthansa twice round trip. Both times, delays, missed connections, and relatively bad customer service. I’ve learned my lesson. #never #again

@jfarrell What I mean isn’t to access both together, but rather to use the same repository pattern on both to lower cognitive load on consuming devs

@jfarrell What if you’re using EF along with other data access (Cassandra, for example). Okay with a custom repository pattern then? For developer consistency

See you later, Kansas City! First time taking @Amtrak out!

@Chris_L_Ayers Also, if you landed in Munich, and you can get your baggage out, I’d suggest just taking an ICE to Nuremberg

@Chris_L_Ayers Sorry to hear this - make sure to claim your EC-261 compensation!
