@GFritchey Oh, be careful what you paste too. That XML may contain very sensitive values. Maybe a reason to run your own local models?

@GFritchey Similar to SQL Server’s built-in index recommendations. Folks will still need to perform their due diligence and review existing indexes vs adding overlapping or duplicates.

@bobwardms Thanks!

@Luke7621 to my understanding only in person

Here we go! I'll be talking #sqlserver2025, #ssms, and #copilotsforssms at the #nttsug in Irving, Texas this Thursday, January 16th. See some demos I've not shown before. Sign-up today at meetup.com/north-texas-sq….

@cfgears @evernote I’m trying out the free option on Notion. So far, no popups.

Ok. That's it. I'm done with @evernote. I spend more time dealing with their constant, unending "Upgrade Now!" popups than I do using the product. It's time to move on. I'm thinking of OneNote as a replacement. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

@cfgears Haha.

That's not the kinds of bugs I fix.....

LinkedIn algorithm: "Hey, we see you're a SQL DBA with 25+ years of IT experience, working remotely for the last decade. Here's our recommendation for you!"

@BrentOzarULTD This is gold. You should pin this. It's a day later and I'm still laughing.

Ask a DBA to review a 10-line query, and they'll find 10 issues. Ask them to review a 500-line proc and they'll say it looks good.

@BrentO We commonly find this while doing health checks for new clients. It's like hitting the turbo button after configuring the socket count correctly :). Thanks for checking this in sp_blitz!

SQL Server's "Total Server Memory" consumption stagnant for months with 64GB+ more available dba.stackexchange.com/a/204099/426 In which sp_Blitz saves the day yet again.

@BrentO Laughing waay too much about this.

"What kind of psychopath would write code this wide without line breaks?!?" Meanwhile, me:

Perform test restores of your critical #SQLServer databases regularly. Better yet, script out a process using #TSQL or #PowerShell & #dbatools and schedule to happen automatically.

Creating your own Contoso star schema database - SQLBI sql.bi/754598 #SQLBI

Backups, DR, etc, are not checkboxes to be checked. They are processes to practice.

You know, I just noticed that a DBA's standard phrase is "It Depends", the Network Engineer's is "I can ping it; it's not the network", and the Infosec's is "no, that's not allowed"

Five issues we frequently discover during our #SEROShield SQL Health Checks. Fortunately, these can be easily addressed. We also see a lot of SQL Servers that are behind on patching. What common configuration issues do you see when reviewing SQL Server settings?
