I wish I knew how to quit you… Well, not really. In previous articles, I’ve mentioned that I use Toad for SQL Server, but until now I have not really advocated that my readers use it. While I’ve been using Toad for several years, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with it. When I first started […] In my previous article I mentioned my surprise that many readers were not running the sample code posted on my blog. When I asked a few as to why, the number one answer was that some M2M Admins don’t know which program(s) they can use to query their SQL databases. I don’t know why this […] Over the holidays and through the first week of this year, I took a journey back home to Michigan. Why did I drive you ask? Well, I wanted to take my Cockatoo Anakin with me. Sometime along the trip he decided that migrating was for the birds. We survived, but he was thrilled after we […] Santa was geeked to take the pic, but Anakin wasn’t convinced. Since the holidays are fast approaching, along with the end of the year, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the previous year, discuss some small miracles that have happened recently, and share my New Year’s Resolutions.

I should have been more clear that I had bought a golden ticket, and not just for […] Ryan, Vic, and yours truly. SQL Saturday #56 BI Edition went off without a hitch last Saturday. Those who read this blog, probably remember the awesome experience I had at my first SQL Saturday. Once again, everything went wonderfully. Our event was scaled back this time which translated into fewer hassles. Microsoft and Artis […] I Love Teaching As I mentioned earlier this week, I really enjoyed Consona Connect 2010. I had two very important epiphanies while presenting at this event. I know a LOT more about SQL Server than I did 3 years ago. Don Rudo introduced me as a SQL server expert, and actually said, “Dave probably knows more […] Presenting M-Data Analytics at Consona Connect 2010 What is M-Data Analytics and how is it going to change the way you use data? M-Data Analytics is a Data Warehouse. A Data Warehouse is a database that is specially designed for reporting and data analysis. M2M Data is extracted, checked, cleaned, and transformed to a format which […] The Problem I’ve been working with the Made2Manage product for well over a decade and the single biggest complaint I hear about it is that customers can’t get data out of it. The most common complaints I hear are: The included reports are too limiting and inadequate for most companies. |
