@intoleranse Awesome, congrats!

Arrived in Oslo and excited to catch up with friends, new and old, over the next few weeks. First order of business: cleaning up after 14 hours of travel, then dinner and hitting up Rock In later tonight.

@IrishSQL Even I know better than to do that… and I once burned pasta in the microwave…

We're installing carpet to flooring transitions today. Hubby needed to trim the carpet back a bit with a carpet knife & clean up the rough edges. He said "You've got a nice set of tailor scissors in a sheath. Can I use those?" I called the cops on him.

@intoleranse @ThomasIvar62 Actually I’d say that makes our memories about equal. I used dialup back when the public internet first became a thing, and prior to that for BBs

@intoleranse @ThomasIvar62 I still remember the admin password for a Novell network I managed. Man that was a long time ago…

@intoleranse Im truly sorry for your loss.

@intoleranse There might be one or two shows during pass week, but the following week there’s four in Seattle.

@intoleranse @DBArgenis I to have invites for anyone who needs them

@bobwardms @Microsoft @SQLServer @Windows @MicrosoftLife Thank you for all the work you and others have, and continue to put in making SQL Server and the community what it is.

30 years ago I started at a company called @Microsoft. This year also is the 30th anniversary of @SQLServer on @Windows. Thank you to everyone at Microsoft and the community who have supported my career. Here is to more years to come. @MicrosoftLife #sqlserver #azuresql

@JohnMiner3 @SqlWorldWide @TracyBoggiano @sqlity @DoBoutAnything @SQLBob @skadimdiwan @joegavin02180 @Christian_SQL @sqlatspeed @SQLBek @BrentO @mcflyamorim I’ll see you at the event. I’ve got some family stuff to deal with.

@SqlWorldWide @TracyBoggiano @sqlity @SqlServerNerd @DoBoutAnything @SQLBob @skadimdiwan @joegavin02180 @Christian_SQL @sqlatspeed @SQLBek @BrentO @mcflyamorim Heading up to Burlington MA for the speaker dinner. Hope to see you soon.

I’ve arrived in Berlin, next up dropping off my stuff at the hotel and then food.

Next up is Berlin!

Oslo was amazing as was London. I had a blast catching up with friends old. Big thanks to @ToneHansson for showing me around Oslo, @runeo34, @intoleranse and all the rest of the Oslo DataSaturday folks, as well as @Neil_Hambly for the great time in London.

This was my first time at @DataSatOslo and I have to say it was an amazing time. Thank you to all the organizers, volunteers, and sponsors who made this event happen.

Only a few weeks left before we explore the guts of a Sql Server data file. Come join us for the music and carnage in Berlin! You can register at data-moshpit.com. Thanks to the @DataMoshpitDE folks for combining to of big passions in life, music and data!

@DataSatOslo has been on my bucket list for many years, and visiting Norway for many more. This weekend it’s finally happening. Join me and many others at this amazing day of learning. You can register here #page-top" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">datasaturdays.com/2023-09-02-dat…

@CFDevelop @justizin US stock exchanges and hedge funds make heavy use of relational databases. They do scale very well when properly designed. That being said often you will find a mix of other database types as well.

@justizin Perhaps these are the right reasons, but many people argue relational dbs don't scale

A while back, I worked with an SQL server database with several tables that had over a trillion records each, and it ran fine. Please, tell me again why it's necessary to split your database with a few hundred thousand records into #microservice dbs

@DBArgenis I’ve been looking for a good alternative to this platform.

@DataMonsterBen @DataMoshpitDE @FrankGeisler I’ll do it in the next two days. I’ll ping you once it’s done.

@SqlServerNerd @DataMoshpitDE @FrankGeisler

Just went through all the @DataMoshpitDE submissions and their intro songs. I take it personally that there are no Katatonia or Opeth Songs in there yet. #SQLFamily don't let me down... CC @FrankGeisler

@CatWithTools So they pulled a Pepsi then, except your prize is a giant pain because you have to deal with not having that bathroom.
