Howdy, all, new server so introducing myself. Long time listener first time calle... wait, no, I've just been on a different server and have now moved over to this one. #SQLFamily , #SQLServer, I'm a DBA/SQLDev/PoSH nerd who also enjoys Science Fiction, Radio Dramas, CRPGs & TTRPGs, Board Games, and other nerdly pursuits.

Feel free to chat me up about #Blackgaze #Progrock #Mathrock #Postrock, too! Most of my posts are probably sql-related and probably a bit to do with today's political climate in the US. Fun!

@dhmacher @DaveMasonDotMe Agreed on all of that. I was really hoping that everybody in #sqlfamily would congregate here instead of the other we-won’t-go-fascist-yet site. But thank you for giving us a place to congregate here in the interim. Now to find a new home, Federation-wise. We definitely appreciate you, and if I come across you want a SQLSat/DataSat/etc, I owe you a beer at the least!

Even more saddening is that #SQLFamily never embraced the Fediverse. I'm told after the bird site imploded, most opted for another capitalist, centralized network (bluesky).

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... ☹️

PASS Data Summit 2025 Recap

Last week, I attended the annual PASS Data Summit in Seattle. This was the fourth year of the event since Red Gate took over stewardship of PASS after that organization ceased operations in 2021. This has always been my favorite data community event; I first attended in 2005, and since 2009 I haven’t missed a single Summit. This year’s Summit...

Hey #sqlfamily , curious how everybody is doing Ci/CD. I want to do it. I’ve checked in everything in prod into GitHub. I have access to GitHub Actions. But what do people do to get from dev to prod? If I change a table and add a permission, what scripts out the changes from my dev DB? Looks like Sqlpackage and Flyway? If I can’t have the database look like prod (because of extra audit triggers, etc), how should I handle that? Is there a Recommended Best Practice somewhere? #sqlserver

Do you want to give back and feel like you are part of something important?

If so, get involved in your industry's professional community. I'm glad I started attending and speaking at Microsoft SQL Server events. They are great ways to make new friends and find professional and personal support.

I look forward to the privilege of presenting this year, and I know I'll meet new people and reacquaint with people I already know.

Is there any information specifically on the impact of enabling wait stats capture in query store? I'm in a hyper-cautious company and am being asked about this.

Erin Stellato has never mentioned anything about it, and I don't recall it being me tioned in Tracy and Grant's book on query store.

Given the current social media landscape, I'm giving Mastodon another try. I'm also looking to see what other social media platforms have sprung up that I might be interested in.
