Good grief, there's a lot of travel in my future. <sigh ... deep breath> It'll be exhausting and it'll be hard to lose so much time with the family. But if I'm able to avoid travel mishaps, it'll be fun.
Meet Me In St. Louis
I'll be speaking in St. Louis, MO on Tuesday, September 14th for their mid-day meeting. The details, as I have them, are:

Additional details and instructions on how to log in
Speaker: Kevin Kline, Quest Software
Topic: SQL Server Internals and Architecture
Speaker: Kevin Kline, Quest Software
Topic: SQL Statement Tuning with Query Optimizer Strategies
I'll be giving away free t-shirts, posters, an eBook or three, and backrubs (super-models, only).
SQL Bits, On the Cheap
 I’ve tweeted previously about the SQL Bits conference in York on September 30th – October 2nd, but this is my first blog post about it. Now is the time to settle your plans to attend. And while you're settling those plans, take advantage of Quest Software's 20% discount on the Thursday and Friday sessions requiring payment. Just be sure to use the code QST20 when you register.
The Saturday is free for everyone. Note - I said FREE. So if you're struggling to convince your boss of the value of the time off and cost required to attend these events, then at least plan to attend Saturday. But as you can see here, the prices are quite low compared to most other conferences of similar quality.
I firmly believe the standard for speakers and content at SQLBits is second to none in the UK. I'll be a wallflower in comparison to other friends of mine also speaking at the event, such as Brent Ozar, a MCM SQL Server and former colleague now working with SQLSkills, Buck Woody, the well-known "Real World DBA" and senior technical specialist from Microsoft, as well as many other SQL Server MVPs, authors, and speakers, such as the event organizer, Simon Sabin, and Quest Software SQL Server expert and editor-in-chief of SQLServerPedia, Iain Kick. Some sessions I'm looking forward to include:
- Monitoring and Tuning Parallel Query Execution - Part II – R Meyyappan
- Where the bl**dy h*** are you? (Spatial Data Visualisation) - Rob Farley (all the way from Adelaide, Australia)
- Introduction to Performance Analysis and Tuning – Simon Sabin
- Oracle for SQL Server DBAs – Gavin Payne
- Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics. Making The Most Out of SQL Server Statistics - Maciej Pilecki
- Extreme scaling with SQL Azure – Martin Schmidt
- Automating SSIS - Andre Kamman
Attendance will definitely enhance your skills and ability to do your job. The added bonus is that York is a lovely place to visit with a beautiful and storied cathedral, so I highly recommend the event for all SQL Server professionals.
Prior to SQLBits, I'll be presenting in London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. I hope you can attend an event closer to you if you cannot make it to York!
And Just to Make Sure I'm Thoroughly Frozen...  While I usually have a policy against visiting places cold enough to die between the front door and the mailbox, I'll be stopping in at SQL Saturday 58 in Minnesota for a SQL Saturday taking place on Friday (not a typo), October 29th, the day after my birthday. I'll be 21 years old and, since I'm now of legal drinking age, you should by me a drink. The event organizer, as well as my friend and fellow MVP, Jason Strate, just has to be different by holding the event on a Friday, eh? Track the event on twitter using the hash tag #sqlsat58.
Read all the details here and register asap!
Once finished in Minnesota, I'll barely get a breather in before heading right back out for the big PASS 2010 Summit in Seattle from Nov 8 -11.
Hope to see you at one of these events soon!
Best regards,

Pardon me, sir. Do I have a dog in this fight?
 Do I have a dog in this Fight? If I did, it'd be the Warner Brothers Barnyard Dog. After my term of service on the PASS board of directors ended in
December of 2009, I fully intended to stay far, far out of the way.
It's an intention that I've largely been able to fulfill,excluding the
odd conversation with an occasional board member or committee chair
looking for a little impartial advice when weighing some consideration
or other.
If you keep up with going's on within PASS, then you'll know that there's been some hullabaloo lately. Please reference paragraph 1 again at this point to understand that I don't really know much about all this hullabaloo. (I read one blog post by Stuart Ainsworth
and decided to henceforth avoid all other mention of the situation). I
mentioned that I've been trying to stay out of PASS' way, correct? But
sometimes you just can't dodge a bullet, even when you're bustin' out
some Matrix-like moves and goin' all Neo/Keanu Reeves on it.
To wit, I was happy to volunteer in hosting our first Music City SQL Saturday, which also happened to occur the day after
the PASS board of directors wrapped up their quarterly meeting here in
beautiful (and hot) Nashville, TN. The two events were destined by the
stars to overlap. Which also meant I was going to be hearing about said
hullabaloo (reference paragraph 2, above), despite my better efforts to
get out of its (the hullabaloo's) way.
(I'm being a bit disingenuous about being surprised that these events
having some overlap. I hosted a party at my house the Friday before
our SQL Saturday for our event speakers and also invited all of the PASS
directors and staff who were still in town as well. So they were all
coming together, like neutrons hurtling towards a chunk of uranium 236.
You DO KNOW what happens when neutrons are hurtled at uranium 236,
right?).
Yeah, and then what?
 Foghorn's idea of a dog fight So despite trying to steer clear any PASS-related controversies, I'm
compelled to speak up, albeit in as limited a fashion as I can manage.
Most of the people involved, from candidates to committee members, are
friends. I wrote endorsement letters for almost half of the candidates
who made it to the Nomination Committee (NomCom) interview stage. So
I'm far from being a totally impartial judge of how individual persons
were treated. But, for what it's worth, I'm trying to make my post less
about personalities and more about the overall direction of the
process. In other words, I'm trying to be constructive, not
destructive.
A lot of people have put out opinions about the PASS Election process and you can read more yourself here:
Since the call to vote is now open, I hope you'll take some time to
get informed about the overall process as well as the candidates
standing for election.
So what's your point?
Lots of people have complained about lots of things in this round of elections (so far), but what's anyone going to do about it?
Well, my point in this and subsequent blog posts is to produce
recommendations about the election process that will better it for PASS
and the wider community.
I've asked several friends in the SQL Server community, as well as
individuals unrelated to PASS or SQL Server but who have experience on
corporate boards of directors, to join a group discussion focusing on
the question:
 Tit-for-Tat, eh Foghorn? “Many
in the community seem to think that the PASS election process is badly
broken. Do you think that PASS needs to implement fundamental and
far-reaching changes to its election process, or does it only need some
fine tuning? Please explain your thoughts?”
So now that some of the personal aspects of the discussions have calmed down, the main point I want to make is that we can make this better. But this will take a concerted and focused discussion to decide on the consensus.
Guest posters are waiting in the wings. Let the discussions begin!
To forward this discussions, I've asked guest posters to make open
with their initial thoughts on their own blogs or here, for those who
don't have their own blogs. Some have already posted their opening
thoughts, which I will repost here. Once the opening statements are all
posted, we'll begin to work through the various points and topics
(refer to the PASS discussion forums above) to see if we can drive
consensus for concrete methods and steps for the nominations and
election processes.
With that, you're also invited to participate. If you have thoughts
around process (not personalities), I invite you to participate either
through posting comments here and on our future posts and, if you're
interested, to participate as a guest poster yourself.
- Join the wider discussion here.
I look forward to your thoughts and feedback!

 I Never Could Hang 10 (Minutes) on Google Wave While
enduring an endless series of flight delays and disgruntled passengers
in the Baltimore airport that was my own personal travel hell on the
evening of Thursday, August 5th, I came across this interesting and
important article:
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/04/google-kills-wave-its-collaboration-tool/?ref=technology
Even if you don't read the article, you can see from the URL that
Google has decided to put an end to the collaboration experiment known
as Wave. Wave will be available through the end of the year and most of
its major components are now available as open source, should any
devotees choose to continue developing the code base. However, Wave
didn't reach the critical mass that Google was looking for and, without
that critical mass of users, it wasn't seeing a lot of innovation or
updates to the features or UI. I view Google's reach of 1M users as a
"failure" with a bit of grin. How many other vendors out there would
consider 1M users too few? Otoh, if they wanted really wide adoption,
why in the world did they require a private invitation? Superior
products are frequently hampered by inferior marketing and market
delivery, this being a really good example.
Slide to the Rescue?
 More Fun than Google Slide? I
also feel the need to point out that I have a lot of respect for Google
giving the old heave-ho to a product that needs to go. Many companies
cling to a great idea, funneling huge amounts of resources into what
everyone else can see as a black hole. Failure, under vibrant and
forward thinking leadership, is only success delayed. Read Google's
take on the situation here. Certainly, this means we'll see Google pushing their new social media acquisition, Slide, much more as well.![]() And, since many of the technological bits of Wave will live on, I'm sure we'll see Slide advance in interesting ways.
Frankly, I found the general idea of Wave to be fascinating and powerful. But after spending quite a bit of time, like at least 20 minutes, tinkering around with it, I still had no idea how to do anything with it. I was so motivated to use it that I almost watched
one of the videos that they'd posted to train you. But honestly, am I
just ridiculously jaded or has the overall market for cloud-based apps
moved the bar for ease-of-use that anything that takes more than 15
minutes to figure out is drama? I hate to say it, but I think the
answer is a resounding "YES". By extension, I think that this is the
main reason that email still trumps all other methods of collaboration.
(Yes, that includes Microsoft SharePoint too for all you fanboys.) That
is, email does not disrupt any existing workflows, it has a clean UI,
it doesn't make you learn new ways of working, and it's so widespread
that you're not hampered by a product that has a very limited user base.
Great Idea Leads To Great Product Success, Right?
 The Graveyard of Ideas I
also feel that Google Wave is a good example of a technological
solution looking for a problem, as well as a product looking for a
marketing message. When launching a product, it's crucial to have a
crystal clear message to a well-defined audience. Any ambiguity in the
message or muddling of the audience can spell doom. And, IMO, Google
clearly missed the boat on both counts. Many of their demos were all
about sharing photos. Uh, ever heard of Facebook, n'est pas? Then
again, many later PR was about collaboration. Then how come we didn't
get smokin' hot project management demos? A book that I recommend
called The Innovator's Prescription (website is here) says it very well:
"The
graveyard of failed products and services is populated by things that
people *should* have wanted--if only they could have been convinced
those things were good for them. The home-run products in the marketing
hall of fame, in contrast, are concepts that helped people more
affordably, effortlessly, swiftly, and effectively do what they already
had been trying to get done." (Christensen, The Innovator's
Prescription, p. 16)
I really like Christensen's point. So many people who build products
focus on the "should" of a product, as in "this should make a lot of
people happy", over and above providing an effortless aid to people's
daily tasks. This leads me to a topic for another day, user-interface design. But enough writing for now. It's bed time.
So what are your thoughts? Do you think other factors contributed to Wave's decline?
Thanks!

Back in late May, my pal Buck Woody (blog | twitter) and I presented SQL Server for the Oracle DBA. Buck played Jerry Lewis' role, while I played the straight man a la Dean Martin. You can see the recording and slide deck here. Since both Buck and I spent a considerable number of years working on Oracle, we felt like we had pretty good legs to stand on doing this presentation. Here's the abstract:
In
enterprise IT, database professionals face a mixed-bag of platforms
within their environments -- and the overlapping duties that go along
with them. Whether you like it or not, you get asked to support Microsoft SQL Server operations even though you're an Oracle DBA.
In this instructive webcast, experts from Microsoft and Quest with years of experience in both platforms will discuss the biggest issues and areas of interest for Oracle DBAs who need to work on Microsoft
SQL Server. You'll learn their tips and tricks for efficiency and gain
a deeper understanding of SQL Server to help you add more value than
ever to your organization.
Of course, there are always questions and we aim to please. Here are
the transcripts of the Q&A chat session (below) that accompanies
the presentation. The only editing I did was ... [ READ MORE]

Dream Team Forms Around Azure
If you're wondering whether to hedge your long-term bets on cloud computing, this should help you solidify your thinking.
Microsoft has been building a dream team for Azure, including the patriarch of Windows (and father of Windows NT) Dave Cutler. Tweets from several Microsofties reveal that another revered technologist, Mark Russinovich of SysInternals
fame has also joined the team. When almost all of the heavy hitters in
a company like Microsoft go to work on a single exciting new
technology, you can easily tell which direction the wind is blowing. I
encourage you to get on board soon with cloud computing, at least in
experimentation mode. Read more about Russinovich joining the Azure team here.

News About KevinEKline.com This Week
I've been enjoying two new features of Wordpress over on my professional website which is missing here on SQLblog.com - scheduled blog posts and auto-tweets. What got me thinking about using scheduled blog posts and auto-tweets, you ask? For starters, my friend and former colleague, Brent Ozar, put a lot of thought and time into the question "Who Owns Your Content?". Then, to add fuel to the fire, two of Quest's best marketing minds, Christian Hasker and Andy Grant, took a survey of all the places I was posting my thoughts and IP, which led to some great advice from Andy. I'd initially thought that by writing in multiple places and on many other websites, it would promote my content. But a quick analysis showed that I was giving without getting anything in return, not even recognition. I was easily writing three or four magazine style articles per month with very little to show for it, not even ping-backs to my website.
The schedule blog posts have come in very handy. First, I'd decided a while back to start talking more about what I do at Quest Software and the products that I'm a part of. Since I don't want to come across sounding like a schill, I decided that I'd put those posts on my own website and not torture you with those posts where I'm syndicated. If you're interested in posts about products like LiteSpeed or Toad for SQL Server, you can check for my regularly scheduled posts to appear on Wednesday morning. I've now got a nice little queue of Quest-related posts for many Wednesdays to come. Second, I've also decided to attempt to bring in more of the content I'd written for other websites and channels into KEK.com. So I've scheduled a series of posts that bring in other content I've written and/or recorded elsewhere. For example, Thursdays mornings are the time where I'll post my YouTube video clips. Since I already had a ton on YouTube, I'm putting those up via scheduled posts for the next several weeks. Of course, I'll also be posting new videos. But it'll be good to have all of my old videos up there too in a single place. Finally, as I mentioned before, I'd written a couple long-term columns without ever getting even one extra website hit from all that work, such as my professional development articles for SQLPass.org. I'm pulling those back onto KEK.com and will continue those columns, but as elements of my own blog. You'll see more about them here when they're posted.
Enjoy!

I'm speaking tonight on Top 10 Mistakes DBAs Make at the
Atlanta SQL Server User Group meeting in Alpharetta, GA. You can find
all of the details here.  The Best Dang Design Book for SQL Server
Professionals - EVER! I thought I'd liven
things up a bit with a little contest. The rules are simple: A.
If you don't follow me on Twitter, then follow me by clicking here. B.
If you already follow me on Twitter, then tweet the details for
tonight's event. C. Every new follower or current follower who
retweeted the details and then attends the event tonight
will get a free ebook for Professional SQL Server 2008 Design and
Implementation by my buddy and fellow Nashvillian Louis Davidson
(blog | twitter). As
the fine print usually says, "Must be present to win". But just to
liven things up a little bit extra, I'll pull several names from the hat
of all the folks who were NOT present but followed or retweeted the
event details between now and 6:30 PM EST tonight. Thanks and good
luck! -Kev

Ok, I admit it. I've done about as good a job publicizing my monthly professional development column, Plays Well With Others, as NBC did when the transitioned Jay Leno back to the Tonight Show. So I'm going to try to better, henceforth and forever more! Two entries ago, I talked about the The 8 Characteristics of Exceptional Leaders. This month, I'm drilling into the characteristic on that list that generated the most controversy in emails and messages - "Absolute Integrity". Many people took issue with the concept that integrity can be learned, instead believing that integrity is innate, like a sense of humor or a dancer's rhythm. What do you think? Read the article here and weigh in with your opinion! (Be forewarned - the PASS website is free, but does require registration. And I encourage you to do so since there are many other great resources there to take advantage of.) Enjoy, -Kevin Twitter @kekline More content at http://KevinEKline.com

Moore's
Law tells us that CPU's get a LOT faster over time. Unfortunately
for the database professional, all of the secondary elements of our
databases DO NOT get a lot faster over time. Overall, the main methods
of storing data since the 1960's, magnetic tape and hard disks, have
improved only in the single percentiles year over year. Even those of
us who were never good at math can tell that the CPU is outpacing the
other system components.
 An Osborne Executive
portable computer, from 1982, and an iPhone, released 2007. The
Executive weighs 100 times as much, has nearly 500 times the volume,
cost 10 times as much, and has a 100th the processing power of the
iPhone. Two recent developments are helping to change
that equation. First, solid state drives (SSDs) are having a dramatic
impact many IT scenarios. My friends, Brent Ozar and Paul Randall, have
each written about SSDs here and here, respectively.
Second, database vendors are supporting relational database systems
that run entirely in system RAM. If you'd like to learn more
about in-memory databases (IMDB), read more in my new article in Data Management Magazine. As we
look to the future, I expect to see a lot more of both technologies in
the data center.
And give me your feedback here! Thanks,

Toad for SQL Server Wins Best of TechEd 2010 in the Database
Development Category
Toad and I go way back. I first started
with Toad as a user on the Oracle DBMS back in the early 1990's. When I
started at Quest Software back on January 2nd of 2002, one of the first
products I tackled as a SQL Server product architect was Toad. How do
we make this very popular Oracle product one that users in the SQL
Server world will love too? And this challenge was made that much
harder by the fact that Microsoft SQL Server ships with
fantastic tools right there in the box. I haven't worked directly on
Toad for many years now, but the tool marches on with new features and
capabilities that push the envelop with each new release. I want
to applaud the product manager, David Gugick (center below), the
developers and testers, and the active and supportive community who
loves and embraces Toad. It's always a thrill when your hard work
and efforts are recognized. And a big thanks to the fine folks at SQLMag and Windows ITPro Mag for making this happen.
 L to R: Jason Hall, Qsft head of SC's; David
Gugick, director of Architecture; and me
Want
to try Toad for SQL Server for free? The 5.0 version of Toad
for SQL Server that we showed at TechEd is the latest beta, available at
ToadWorld.com
(build 387 at the time of this writing). It can coexist with Toad for
SQL Server version 4.6, if you're already using it. The beta is quite
stable and has a bevy of new features, including: - SQL Azure
support for most modules including data compare and schema compare,
including comparing regular SQL Servers to SQL Azure and back, also with
Firewall management (under Server Security properties panel).
- Much
improved code completion (and it was already rockin'!) that’s faster and allows for column
selection, multi-table selection, with tooltips for parameters. Don't
forget, all of these features work on SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008, and
2008 R2.
- Updated Schema Compare with better exposed
snapshots.
- Group Execute enhancements that include
database-level selection so you can execute across databases, an option
to only show selected servers/databases, option to merge results (or
not), improved merging, etc.
- New Idle Connection Timeout – to
close connections after a period of inactivity.
- Result Set
Pinning.
- Improved Trace support with features like Import
Trace File to Table and Open in Profiler capabilities.
- New
Debug Trace – traces all activity occurring inside of Toad, including
storing all variable info in a replayable file.
- Twitter
Integration (under the View – Collaboration panel) with Yammer
integration coming in a future beta release.
You can
also see a lot more details about the tool here.
And my long-standing offer still stands. If you want to try Toad for
SQL Server or its brethren (such as Toad for Data Analysts, Toad Data
Modeler, or Benchmark Factory), drop me an email and I'll get a
long-term license key straight over to you.
But wait,
there's more!
There are so many great resources for you to
tap into. And best of all, they're all free! Check these out:

We've got two sessions that you need to sign up
for right away. The upcoming webcast for Oracle-oriented folks has huge
registration numbers. So get in while you still can before we hit the
limit of what LiveMeeting can handle.
Webcast: SQL Server for the Oracle DBA
Date:
Thursday,
May 27, 2010 (Just a couple days hence!)
Time: 8
a.m. Pacific / 11 a.m. Eastern / 4 p.m. United Kingdom / 5 p.m. Central
Europe
Duration: 45-60 minutes
Cost: FREE
In
enterprise IT, database professionals face a mixed-bag of platforms
within their environments -- and the overlapping duties that go along
with them. Whether you like it or not, you get asked to support
Microsoft SQL Server operations even though you're an Oracle DBA.
In
this instructive webcast, experts from Microsoft and Quest with years
of experience in both platforms will discuss the biggest issues and
areas of interest for Oracle DBAs who need to work on Microsoft SQL
Server. You'll learn their tips and tricks for efficiency and gain a
deeper understanding of SQL Server to help you add more value than ever
to your organization.
Presenters:
Kevin Kline, SQL
Server MVP, Quest Software
Buck Woody, Senior
Technology Specialist, SQL Server, Microsoft
Webcast: Easy Ways to Fix Hard SQL Server Problems – Without a
Guru
Date: Thursday, June 17, 2010
Time:
8 a.m. Pacific / 11 a.m. Eastern / 4 p.m. United Kingdom / 5 p.m.
Central Europe
Duration: 45-60 minutes
Cost: FREE
In
this instructive webcast, you’ll learn straightforward methods for
troubleshooting and resolving common poorly performing stored procedures
and queries in SQL Server 2008. The presenters will show you how to
easily:
- Read query execution plans and identify bottlenecks
in performance
- Record system performance metrics for trend
analysis
- Design databases and write Transact–SQL code to avoid
common problems
- Understand what an index is, what it does, and
how to build one
- Use industry-accepted best practices and
develop your own to arrive at optimal database performance
Much
of the webcast is based on Grant’s book, "SQL
Server 2008 Query Performance Tuning Distilled." Don’t miss
this chance to get practical advice from working experts instead of
just theories from academics!
Presenters:
Kevin
Kline, SQL Server MVP, Quest Software
Grant Fritchey, “Scary”
DBA from FM Global

How 'Bout a Little Context?
Let me be direct with you. I love SQL Saturday.
If it were a woman,
I'd marry it. (Avoiding all extraneous thoughts of what my real wife
would say, etc etc). Check out this fun Flickr Feed from the recent SQL Saturday in Chicago
or these picks by Jorge Segara (blog
| twitter) to see the sort of fun
that's in store. But who can argue with a day of free SQL Server
training and a chance to network with great presenters and a wide swath
of your peers?
 Keynotes are more fun when the put-downs fly!
I've tried to support SQL Saturday as much as I can since Andy Warren
(blog | twitter)
launched the program a couple years back and have spoken at several.
You might say to yourself, "Self, Kevin works for a vendor. Don't they want him to speak at as
many SQL Saturdays as is humanly possible?" Well, Mr. Self, you'd be
mistaken. You see there's a keyword in the name that might reveal why
my employer doesn't provide unlimited enthusiasm for me to speak ...
it's the SATURDAY part of the whole thing. Yes, of course, my
employer wants me there. But they also recognize that Saturdays are my
own and that, if I spend a day or two there on the weekend (including
the travel time), then that's a sacrifice of my own choice. I would
still need to be at work and on task bright and early on Monday
morning. Not that they'd make me, it's just that my job is the sort
that work is never simply skipped, it is only ever deferred. So
if I took a comp day, which they'd gladly provide, I'd still have to
finish the work somehow, someway. All of this goes to say that I
really, really love SQL Saturday, the community vibe that it creates,
the volunteers who drive it, the folks who attend. So I'm happy to give
up a few days throughout the year to support it.
Come to Nashville in August!
Guitar, Cowboy Boots, Cowboy Hat, and Tight Denim NOT
Required
My good friends Joe Webb (blog | twitter) and Louis Davidson (blog
| twitter) have been angling to host a
SQL Saturday here in Nashville for quite a while. As co-leaders of the local PASS chapter in middle
Tennessee, it made a lot of sense to host an event like this. I
wasn't at all resistant to the idea, I just didn't want to do the work
myself. However, they did a great job of getting the ball rolling and
even took on the majority of work themselves. Together with other
volunteers in our local chapter - Shelton Dickson, Roberto Lopez, and Christina Leo - we've all set
to work to host SQL Saturday #51. The event will be hosted on
Saturday, August 21st at the shiny new facility of Nashville
State Community College located at 120 White Bridge Rd. Nashville,
TN 37209: 
- If
you'd like to attend, check out all the details here. Joe Webb
and Christina Leo get all the credit for logistics.
- If
you'd like to speak, read the details in our call for speakers here.
Louis Davidson is running the program selection process.
- If
you'd like to sponsor, sign up on-line here. This one
is my responsibility.
- It's free to register, there
is a $10 fee if you want us to provide lunch. And remember, seats
always fill up fast!
- If you're going to attend
and you have a twitter account, be sure to tweet using #sqlsat51!
I hope
to see you there in August!

I freely admit it - I'm a sluggard. I should be blogging a couple
times per week and tweeting
in between. But, for some unknown reason, April has been a tough month
to get this in gear. Hence, I'm putting out an omnibus post
to cover all of the stuff I've been up to, instead of the one-off's I
usually post when I've got something new to mention.
Isn't it
funny how life gets in the way of the stuff we want and intend to
do? As they say - "The road to hell is paved with good intentions", or
was that Detroit? But I digress. A New Translation!I
don't like to toot my own horn. [sarcasm on] You can tell that I'm
completely honest when I say that since I have a couple blogs and a
twitter account. [sarcasm off] But one thing I'm really proud of is how
popular SQL in a Nutshell
is. It's now translated into approximately eight languages, with
Russian being the newest language:  I'm
even more proud of my lil' girl than that book! I also
had the pleasure of working with another translator and I'm looking
forward to having a copy of the book in simplified Chinese soon too! Lots
of Speaking Events Coming!There will be more details on my Events page soon, but
here's the run down on what's just around the corner: I
also have three "Pain of the Week" webcasts schedule with Quest over
the next couple months, with great co-hosts like Buck Woody and Grant
Fritchey. The sessions aren't officially scheduled yet, but you can
find them here.
Also,
a big thanks to the local PASS chapter in Houston for the warm welcome
they put out when I spoke there on April 12 and to the fine folks in
Chicago for their awesome SQL Saturday on April 17th.
New
Articles and Session Recordings
I had a couple new articles
come out last month which I either wrote or added commentary too,
including Master
Data Services could spur SQL Server 2008 R2 migrations appearing at
SearchSQLServer.com. The
PASS DBA Virtual Chapter just posted a recording of my session on SQL
Server Internals and Architecture. I made an appearance on
Microsoft's Thrive website as their IT Pro
of the Month for March. I also had the opportunity to work with
Steve Wynkoop at his SSWUG.org
vConference in March.
And don't forget about the
incredibly popular Quest vConference that Brent, Ari, and I did on
troubleshooting and performance tuning using SQL Server DMV's. You can
get the code samples, download the slides, and rate the presentations at

The MacGyver meme is making the rounds and I was kindly tagged by my
buddy, Thomas LaRock ( blog | twitter) -
that most famous SQLRockstar, who wisely chose to
tag me early in the process, lest he receive another round of disciplining like the last time.
I've also seen several other good MacGyver Moments from Aaron Bertrand (blog), David Stein also known as Made2Mentor ( blog | twitter ),
and Denny Cherry also known as MrDenny (blog). I'm looking forward to reading the bloggers
that they tagged to see what others in our community have cooked up. In
case you haven't heard, your MacGyver Moments are those times when you
improvised an excellent solution to a problem using non-traditional
materials, techniques, or tools - like the time I repaired my flux
capacitor using bailing wire, chewing gum, the tears of Glenn Beck, and
the sweat of a master ninja.
 I'm a bit more like MacGruber than MacGyver Necessity
is the Mutha of Invention
Believe it or not, I've got a long history of doing things MacGyver
style. To begin with, I grew up without two nickels to rub together.
That means you have to improvise - a lot. Once I hit teenage
years, I was constantly tinkering with all things mechanical and
electrical trying to stretch their useful lifespan beyond any conception
of "reasonable use", much like my teenage dating experiences. For
example, I once cobbled together garage workshop fan from the leftover
parts of an electric pencil sharpener, a frame made of bailing wire
(yes, bailing wire), solder, and handmade cardboard fan blades.
Shamefully, it did not include any duct tape. But it worked great! I
had to do that stuff all the time out of necessity, such as with my
series of malfunctioning cars and dodgy electronics. Hey, my MacGyver
experiences also taught me that admitting to owning a "Plymouth Horizon"
is, when trying to impress the ladies, about the same as sporting a 4"
gravy stain on your "Howling Wolf" t-shirt.
Aaaah, the Plymouth - a vehicle truly designed somewhere between the
third and fifth ring of Hades. I can't even count the number of
jury-rigged fixes I put into that thing. One that stands out clearly,
because my friends used this to prank me on several occasions, was the
repair to the broken door handle on the driver's side. Since I couldn't
afford replacement parts, I used bailing wire (I could always count on
you, my old friend) fixed to the inner locking mechanism and a key ring
as a handle dangling invisibly from the bottom door sill. About a year
after that (around 1986 or so), I discovered junk yards and was able to
rip a barely used mechanism from a Dodge of the same body style for $3.
I became pretty well known at those junk yards - I blame Chrysler.
Quality was not job 1 in those days.
 Creativity and Innovation can be like that. No
buck teeth in my case. Geek
Creativity
Like my friend Brent Ozar, I played a lot of Dungeons & Dragons
(D&D) growing up. I was always the "DM", that is, the guy who
administrated the game, while all my friends played characters on the
adventure. But D&D, like many good products, was designed to suck
the dollars right out of your product by producing an endless stream of new adventures to play and
supplements to purchase. I, on the other hand, wasn't gonna spend a
dime of my money on that. So I created my own adventures (called
modules). As I got better, I constructed campaigns (i.e a related sets
of modules) and from that, a related set of campaigns into an entire
Tolkien-like world (this is called a mileau) which I called Aquilonia.
My buddies loved it and, realizing that bragging about geekness creates
an inverse coolness effect, can brag that I won some contests at
regional conventions for game design.
Code
Creativity
Back in the day, I remember wondering if I should stop doing
things differently than my buddies and peers. For example, we were
assigned to write a program that would find the day of the week based on
passing in any pre-Y2K date in one of my COBOL college courses. (No
mocking please - COBOL was big back then). Everyone in the class, and I
mean everyone, wrote very large programs that delivered the day of the
week through very large (and, imo, cumbersome) IF-THEN-ELSE structures.
My program had two elegant WHILE loops and thirty-eight lines of code
based on the premise that our calendar repeats every 14 years and that
all months contain at least 28 days and at most 31 days. I got an A+.
SQL
Server Improvisation
Back when my IT shop had bragging privileges as one of the largest
enterprise installations of Microsoft SQL Server (in the v6.0 and v6.5
days), we were faced with implementing some sort of way to do
bi-directional replication. The product did a good job of standard
transactional replication, but bi-directional replication was only
possible through a major rewrite of the application. Instead, we cooked
up a way to make it work - SQL Server would allow us do outward
transactional replication as the transactions occurred. We were able to
bring the data back by also enabling sync replication (which is
non-transactional) every evening. Thus, we got bi-directional data
flows without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on third-party
tools. (I must also give kudos to the team I worked with and who made
this solution work, particularly Dwayne Seiber, who is still lead DBA
there.)
Summary
Creativity, innovation, and improvisation are what you make of them.
You must make the choice to pursue them. Yes, necessity often forces
to seek out MacGyver moments. So does laziness in some cases. How many
master developers do you know who'll work very hard to fully
conceptualize their program before starting to write it, saving time in
the long run. Now that's creative laziness! But MacGyver moments also
stretch our abilities and call us to higher achievements.
