"It's not enough to see who's at the table. We have to see who's missing." I heard this at the MA Conference for Women several years ago and it's stuck.
I'd like to add this:
"Let's move over and add a seat for you. I see you. You belong here."

It’s International Women’s Month, and @data-wit.bsky.social is sharing a daily quote from a woman that other women have found inspiring.My contribution is a quote is from @cindygross.bsky.social
‘She realized she didn’t need to solve the problem to be safe; she just needed to stop carrying it.’
This ends in two days…
nobody seems to remember that. All they seem to remember is ‘you wrote all these books, and you’re doing this, and you designed these systems, and you did Oracle on Azure….’ I don’t think we see ourselves like other people see us. I think we’re much harder on ourselves.” #datawit #celebratingwomen
Starting off International Women's Month with a quote from @dbakevlar.bsky.social because she reminds me I don't have to be perfect, and that is hard to remember. I didn’t realize that what people see, even though I talk about the stupid things I’ve done and talk about the challenges that I’ve had,
So I may be having a bit too much fun prepping my new presentation for @sqlbits.bsky.social , "The Hero’s Journey: Mastering Your New DBA Role." Every slide might be a comic-book page at this point. If you haven't registered for this event, you could come, not to see me, but to see everyone.
What’s up?

I wrote a new post about how volunteering shaped my entire 2025. From data community work to mental health advocacy, foster care support, and 22 years as a Guardian ad Litem—service is simply how I live.
As 2026 begins, I hope you’ll choose one small, sustainable way to serve. Small acts add up.

Don’t let him. Poor kitty.
I've a db proj to deploy to Azure SQL DB. Enabled Change Tracking on tables and have proc to CT tables. I get an error that tells me when it deploys that it will cause issues with the proc, though I have a line to ensure that CT is on for the tables. What can I do to get around this? #sqlhelp

Another question, we are attempting to use Change Tracking only the Azure side for "reasons", is there a way to get the pipeline to ignore the fact CT isn't part of the codebase? I see a parameter for CDC.

Thanks. I had a feeling you would be the one with the answer.
I know this isn't recommended but I have the need to setup a database project to deploy to SQL 2019 and an Azure SQL DB via an Azure DevOps pipeline? I know the command line as a switch that will allow but I can't find anything I can add to the YAML. Anybody can help? #sqlhelp
If you want to learn more, my consulting course is $10 for the next 24 hours and $50 for the rest of the week. This is the cheapest it will ever be, even with future sales. I cover becoming a Power BI consultant, from start to finish.
