The 4th week of my #MarchMadness continues with the #MVPSummit. @Microsoft is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. In honor of that, here is what I was given my 1st day on the job some 32 years ago. #sqlhistory #microsoftlife.

Hard to believe it was 26 years ago: #sqlserver #database #sqlhistory #16NOV1998 news.microsoft.com/1998/11/16/mic…

On this day 26 years ago @Microsoft released SQL Server 7.0. This was 1.0 for many of us and has paved the way for the incredible industry force @SQLServer is today. news.microsoft.com/1998/11/16/mic…. #sqlserver #sqlhistory #microsoftlife

I know, I know, I work for @redgate but I have to applaud #sqlprompt today. #sqlhistory saved the day. Wrote an experiment for a customer, with a bunch of code, however, it was multiple steps and like an ID-10-T, I kept deleting a step and then writing code for the next one 1/

@omer_colakoglu Nice. #sqlhistory. Sorry I won't be the Summit this week.

Fun Fact: SQL, originally known as 'SEQUEL' (Structured English Query Language), was developed by IBM in the 1970s. It evolved over time to become the standard language for managing and manipulating relational databases. 🕰️💻 #SQLHistory #TechTrivia

More SQL trivia... #7. 📜 Ancient Roots: Don't be fooled, It's been around for sometime yet still very much in demand. SQL’s roots go back to the 1970s! Older than the internet???🤦 Ask Edgar F. Codd. if in doubt. #SQLHistory #SQL #sequel #SQLServer

Calling all Jedi Masters! Did you know that the force behind SQL started in the 1970s? 💡✨ Thanks to IBM researchers Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce, we now have a powerful tool for data management! 🚀 Embrace your inner #DataJedi with some #SQLHistory lessons! 👩‍💻📚

Today, SQL is widely used in many different industries and applications, from finance and healthcare to e-commerce and social media. Its versatility and power make it an essential tool for data management and processing.💻 #SQLHistory #DataManagement #DataProcessing #LearnSQL

Over time, different versions of SQL have been developed by different vendors, each with their own unique features and capabilities. Some popular versions include MySQL, Oracle Database, and Microsoft SQL Server.🔍 #SQLHistory #DataManagement #DataProcessing #LearnSQL

In 1986, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) released a standard version of SQL, which became known as ANSI SQL. This standardization helped make SQL more widely adopted across different platforms and systems.🌎 #SQLHistory #DataManagement #DataProcessing #LearnSQL

The first version of SQL was called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language) and was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM’s original relational database management system (RDBMS).📈 #SQLHistory #DataManagement #DataProcessing #LearnSQL

Did you know that SQL was first developed in the 1970s by IBM researchers, Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce?🤔 #SQLHistory #DataManagement #DataProcessing #LearnSQL

SQL was established in the early 70s, it was called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language). Due to copyright, it was changed it to SQL. SQL is typically pronounced “sequel” today, but some favor “ess-cue-el”, which do you prefer? #sqlhistory #SQL #tsql blog.ansi.org/?p=158690

At the @PASSDataSummit @KimberlyLTripp says I started at @Microsoft at 1983. I consider myself "experienced" but I'm not that old. It is true that I started out debugging Trap D crashes for #sqlserver on OS/2. #sqlhistory @MicrosoftLife.

@jdanton @mrdenny @SQLSocialite @ChrisAVWood You folks are really dating yourself. Joey and I talked before we boarded our plane to #MSIgnite SQL 4.2 LanMan OS/2. I was hired back then to debug trap-D crashes. We released SQL 4.2 for Windows NT in 1993. SQL 4.21 was our first release post-split from Sybase. #sqlhistory

Here on @Microsoft campus in bldg 34 cafe. For almost two decades this is where I had important side meetings with #sqlserver legends like @RohanKData, David Campbell, @slava_oks, and @PaulRandal. #sqlhistory.

ostress.exe is common tool I use to simulate workloads for #sqlserver and #azuresql. Written in the 90s by my longtime colleagues in CSS Keith Elmore and Robert Dorr. #sqlhistory. This free tool is timeless. Download it today from aka.ms/ostress.

Reviewing our enhancements in #sqlserver2022 for Query Store today. If you don't know Query Store, start with aka.ms/querystore. Then give a nod to the famous @SQLConor. I remember in mid- 2000s when Conor showed me the idea of "QDS" when I was in CSS. #sqlhistory
