Yeah no. Database server? Sure. SQL server could mean Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server since they all use a varaiant of SQL. Good try, yet so far ...

Coke flight. L to R: Gingerbread Float, Coke Cinnamon, and Maple Spice Float. Maple Spice was amazing, Cinnamon was delicious and better than the one from a few years back, but Gingerbread was the sad trombone. Also a pic of a perfect snack.

You are too kind. I put my pants on like everyone else.

See you soon, @Live360events

Same!

Headed to @Live360events in Orlando this week? I have three sessions on Thursday, Nov 21, including a panel with @MMarie and @SQLBalls moderated by @SQLRockstar. Hope to see you there! live360events.com/Events/Orl…

Does McCarthy make it out of the building?

I try :)

Good morning, @PASSDataSummit attendees. Hope to see you in my session "A Modern Approach to Patching, Upgrades, and Technical Debt" today from 9:45 - 11AM in 323-325. I won't be at Summit much past lunch, so find me if you want to catch up. passdatacommunitysummit.com/…

Hello. Been a long time. Looking forward to my precon Tuesday morning. @PASSDataSummit

Not something I want to win lol

No idea but easily somewhere in four digit territory. Five would be a stretch.

If there was a world record for the number of FCIs installed, I would probably own it.

If you live in the US and are attending @PASSDataSummit next week, please vote. Whatever your choices are, it is important to make your voice heard.

Horrible non call, NFL.

2 weeks from today (Tuesday, Nov 5) I will be delivering my pre-con "The Secret Sauce to @SQLServer Availability" at @PASSDataSummit. Have you registered yet? It will be my last long form, in person training for the forseeable future. See you there! passdatacommunitysummit.com/…

Agree. The quality of the product in general is down and often unwatchable this year.
