I had the distinct honour (honor) this week of recording a new SQL Down Under podcast with Dr David DeWitt from the Jim Gray Systems Lab at Microsoft. Anyone that has been to a PASS summit over the last few years would know that David seems to have single-handedly converted morning keynotes into must-attend events.
In this podcast, David explains his role, gives a philosophical view on where we're at in the database industry and discusses core enhancements in SQL Server 2014.

Enjoy!
