  • SQLCruise Alaska was Amazing

    - by AllenMWhite
    You'd think that providing in-depth SQL Server training on a cruise ship would be an excuse for a vacation disguised as a business trip, but you'd be wrong. This past week I traveled with the founders of SQLCruise, Tim Ford and Brent Ozar , along with other top professionals in the SQL Server world - Jeremiah Peschka , Kendra Little , Kevin Kline and Robert Davis - and me. The week began with Brent presenting a session on Plan Cache Analysis, which I plan to start using very soon. After Brent, Kevin...(read more)

  • Why We Write #6-An Interview with Kevin Kline

    - by drsql
    Wow, so far in this series, I have interviewed some very good friends, and some truly excellent writers (and usually both), but today, following on the heels of Jason Strate , we are going to hit someone whose name is synonymous with community, a person who really needs no introduction. According to Bing, Kevin Kline ( @kekline ) is the most important Kevin Kline on Twitter (though it clearly could be due to my typical searches, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt… here try it yourself: http://www.bing.com/search?q=kevin+kline+twitter...(read more)

  • SQL Saturday is Coming to Nashville! Won't You?

    - by KKline
    How 'Bout a Little Context? Let me be direct with you. I love SQL Saturday . If it were a woman , I'd marry it. (Avoiding all extraneous thoughts of what my real wife would say, etc etc). Check out this fun Flickr Feed from the recent SQL Saturday in Chicago or these picks by Jorge Segara ( blog | twitter ) to see the sort of fun that's in store. But who can argue with a day of free SQL Server training and a chance to network with great presenters and a wide swath of your peers? Keynotes are more...(read more)

  • SQLRally Nordic and SQLRally Amsterdam: Wrap Up and Demos

    - by Adam Machanic
    First and foremost : Huge thanks, and huge apologies, to everyone who attended my sessions at these events. I promised to post materials last week, and there is no good excuse for tardiness. My dog did not eat my computer. I don't have a dog. And if I did, she would far prefer a nice rib eye to a hard chunk of plastic. Now, on to the purpose of this post... Last week I was lucky enough to have a first visit to each of two amazing cities, Stockholm and Amsterdam. Both cities, as mentioned previously...(read more)

  • SQL Saturday Birmingham #328 Database Design Precon In One Week

    - by drsql

  • Emacs saying: <M-kp-7> is undefined when dictating quotes with Dragon naturally speaking 12

    - by Keks Dose
    I dictating my text via Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 into Emacs. Whenever I say (translation from German): 'open quotes', I expect something like " or » to appear on the screen, but I simply get a message <M-kp-2> is undefined . Same goes for 'close quotes', I get <M-kp-7> is undefined. Does anybody know how to define those virtual keyboard strokes? (global-set-key [M-kp-2] "»") does not work.

  • PASS Summit 2012 PreCon - DBA-298-P Automate and Manage SQL Server with PowerShell

    - by AllenMWhite
    On Tuesday I presented an all-day pre-conference session on using PowerShell to automate and manage SQL Server. It was a very full day and we had a lot of great questions. One discussion in Module 6 was around scripting all the objects in a database, and I'd mentioned the script I wrote for the book The Red Gate Guide to SQL Server Team-based Development . When putting together the demos for the attendees to download I realized I'd placed that script in the Module 6 folder, so you don't need to go...(read more)

  • SQL Rally Presentations

    - by AllenMWhite
    As I drove to Dallas for this year's SQL Rally conference (yes, I like to drive) I got a call asking if I could step in for another presenter who had to cancel at the last minute. Life happens, and it's best to be flexible, and I said sure, I can do that. Which presentation would you like me to do? (I'd submitted a few presentations, so it wasn't a problem.) So yesterday I presented "Gathering Performance Metrics With PowerShell" at 8:45AM, and my newest presentation, "Manage SQL Server 2012 on Windows...(read more)

  • Believeland

    - by AllenMWhite
    My daughter sent me this link to an article on ESPN called Believeland , which is a bit of a Tolstoy, but gives you a bit of the feel of what it's like to be from Cleveland. We love our city, even as many of us leave it for greener (and warmer) pastures elsewhere. One of the things I hope you'll find when you come here for SQL Saturday 60 on February 5, is what a great place it is to live here. Our call for speakers is open until Sunday. I hope to see you here. Allen...(read more)

  • The SQL Server Community

    - by AllenMWhite
    In case you weren't aware of it, I absolutely love the SQL Server community. The people I've gotten to know have amazing knowledge, and they love sharing that knowledge with anyone who wants to learn. How can you not love that? It's inspiring and humbling all at the same time. There are a number of venues where the SQL Server community comes together. I'm including Twitter , the PASS Summit , the various SQL Saturday events, SQLBits , Tech Ed , and the local user groups. Each of us takes part in...(read more)

  • The Team Behind SQL Saturday 60 In Cleveland

    - by AllenMWhite
    Last July I asked the assembled group at the Ohio North SQL Server Users Group meeting if they'd be interested in putting on a SQL Saturday. Enthusiastically, they said yes! A great group of people came together and met, first monthly, then every other week, and finally every week, taking time from their families to do the things necessary to put together a SQL Saturday event here in Cleveland. Their work has been amazing and any of you attending our event will see what a great job they've all done....(read more)
