Like many other technical bloggers, I receive requests for help on a regular basis. Since I’m constantly learning and evolving I approach others for help as well. A couple of years ago, I received an email from a new reader which began with:
Always two there are, no more, no less: a master and an [...]
This Wednesday I’ll be presenting at the Fort Worth SQL Server User Group. Come see me present:
Data Warehousing – How to Convince “The Bobs”
I got a meeting with the Bobs in a couple of minutes…
Building your first Data Warehouse is a long, and often difficult process. How can you get your boss to [...]
A few months ago, I wrote an article about how thrilled I was to be going to PASS this year. Some of you may have gotten the impression from that article that I was given a Golden Ticket. 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 [...]
Hoping to find an everlasting Gob Stopper.
Last year I pined away reading all of the tweets from last year’s PASS.
It was cute, but I meant what I said. I made a promise to myself that I would go to PASS 2010. Well, last night I pulled the trigger and purchased my ticket to go [...]

I took the plunge this year and started volunteering for the North Texas SQL Server User Group. Originally I started attending because I wanted to learn more about SQL Server, but it didn’t take long before I realized that there was so much more to be gained from being there.
Why should you volunteer with [...]
If you are a M2M Administrator, you should be studying SQL Server. I encourage anyone who works with M2M to study the SQL programming language, how SQL Server works, advanced reporting techniques, etc. In my opinion, if you don’t have at least a basic understanding of all things SQL, you cannot effectively administer M2M. [...]
I started this blog to help people learn more about M2M, SQL, and Crystal Reports. The reason was simple; I had to learn this stuff the hard way, by myself and essentially in a vacuum. I wanted to help anyone who found themselves in the same situation.
Since then, I’ve had a couple of people [...]
Fievel – An American Tail
All of the Tweeting about PASS prompted me to write this. Sung to the tune of “Somewhere Out There.”
Somewhere out there…
At the PASS Summit…
People are learning SQL and Tweeting about it.
Somewhere out there…
Ozar, Fritchey, and Delaney…
are teaching Clouds, Wait Stats, and High Availability.
And even though I know it’s about [...]
