I've noticed today that Microsoft Bing Webmaster Tools has a new "AI Performance" tab.
Apparently, my SSMS 22 config blog post has been cited by "Microsoft Copilots and Partners" a total of 284.7K times since I've published it ~6 months ago. Pretty neat, although this doesn't really translate into visits.

SSMS 21.3.6 introduces the ability to rename unsaved query editor tabs.

Combined with the options to position tabs vertically, color code them based on RegEx patterns, and pinning important tabs (which was possible in previous versions too), makes juggling multiple opened tabs and files way more manageable.

SQL Server Management Studio 21.2.5 is out.

Fans of maintenance plans and SSIS will be happy to know the two features have been reinstated as part of this update.

I found the bar where developers who dislike set theory like to hang out. 😅

Imagine running a version of SQL Server that's a quarter of a century old and thinking it's a good idea to expose it to the internet.
