Woke up early for Data Saturday - Chicago to work on my "Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery in Azure SQL" presentation. Then I thought, why not write a blog post on the topic. #AzureSQL #DataSaturday #SQLSaturday #SQLfamily sqlmct.com/business-con...
People do not like to know when others are sad! I will express anyway.
I am sad for @hugokornelis.bsky.social even though I know we will shake hand (or may be light hug) soon.
We love you Hugo, I will do all three you asked us to do.

A book about reporting with SQL Server 2005, properly used as a door stopper.
When they raffled a book like this, I said I still have that one. And here's the proof that I put it to its proper use case...

So I came back from spending a couple of flashing days, presenting a session and mingling with the Datamonster community at SQL Konferenz 2026 in Hanau. I'd like to thank everyone involved, too many names to list, I mean everyone - thanks for being awesome!

Excited to have the opportunity for a much more seasoned colleague who's an Oracle & SS dba & dev to teach me more about linked servers with an Oracle backend at our org later this week! Grateful for the chance to learn from him, this is the kind of activity that makes my brain light up 😁 #sqlfamily
This is an important read for DBAs, and pretty much everyone in IT.

No way I’m going to twitter again, but I miss the #sqlfamily also, of course I have #sqlserver questions

Logged into one of the work servers for the first time in weeks! Trips away, much scrum master work, and several migraines do that to you. Let's see how my tech skills are doing 😎 #sqlfamily
#sqlfamily please take a moment to like/comment on this Insta competition so my friend can get his parents-in-law to meet their new granddaughter ❤️

There is never a bad time to show gratitude for what we are blessed with. I am grateful for health, my job/career, my loved ones and #sqlfamily. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Note to my #SQLFamily pals - I'm still a bit salty over Azure Data Studio being EOL'd, so I may be SLIGHTLY overly-critical of SSMS's new look and feel. I'm really trying not to be uncharitable!
Having verified the existence of gate L10C, I now begin the search for sustenance
Any #sqlfamily in ORD for the next 90 minutes?
Sitting at the airport while waiting for the delayed flight seems like the perfect time for the #sqlselfie photo dumps for Day 2 & 3 of #passdatasummit

Anyone else struggling with the 300 character limit for #FABCON #SQLCON session abstracts?
It feels like I’ve rewritten each of mine 20 times, and I still feel like they’re awful.
I can’t seem to fit a why (you should attend) and a what (you should expert to learn) within the limit.

It’s hard to believe but Friday is tomorrow… don’t forget to sign up for the crab pot dinner with #SQLFamily at #passdatasummit
