SQL & BI Data Platform seminar – Your chance to win an entry ticket!

Microsoft and John Bryce have organized a 2 days data seminar which focuses on SQL Server technologies. This can be an excellent chance for anyone who is involved in any way with SQL Server platform to attend a large number of technical sessions. Mr Donald Farmer, a Principal Program Manager for Microsoft SQL Server at Microsoft will also be attending and his session is not to be missed by any BI professional.

I was given an entry ticket to both days of the seminar (these would cost you 1,800NIS if you were to purchase them) a single day of this seminar (this would cost you 900NIS if you were to purchase it) to give away to a reader. So if anyone is interested, here’s how you can get your hands on the ticket: simply let me know (using the “comments”) how you first got into the SQL Server business to begin with. The guy with the most interesting story will be the happy winner…

 

Good luck!

I started working with SQL Server when I had to support an Access 2.0 application that had linked tables in SQL Server version 6.5. Working with such a product was really interesting and I have learned a lot about scripting and administering the server. I realy liked the simple but powerful features.

My first attempt to use SQL Server was for maintaining a reliable storage for the players' statistics, high scores hall of fame and color preferences of each player in a Monopoly game I programmed in VB4 when I was 11. Having some bad experience with INI files, and not knowing back then enough about Access / Excel data storage abilities, I used the big guns (SQL Server 7.0) just to store one table with 5 rows.

But I must say, it was a good call: Never has SQL Server let me down, and it is because of that Monopoly game I know how reliable and fast SQL Server is, when dealing with tiny and 100-gigs databases alike :)

השנה הייתה שנת 2000, הבועה הייתה בשיאה ואני הייתי צעיר ורזה. כמו כן עבדתי כמדריך בתחום של מערכות הפעלה

NT4 ליתר דיוק

יום אחד נגש אליי מנהל  ההדרכה ובקש שאתחיל ללמד את התלמידים על מוצר שנקרא

SQL 7

שאלתי אותו מה זה המוצר הזה והוא אמר שמדובר במוצר לניהול מסדי נתונים. לא היה לי נעים לשאול מה זה אומר בדיוק "מסדי נתונים" וגם לא היה לי נעים לסרב

עם זאת הייתה לי שאלה נוספת.

אני - תאמר לי בבקשה, המוצר הזה, זה מוצר טוב

?

מנהל ההדרכה - לא, זה חרא של דטהבייס אבל הוא של מיקרוסופט ויום יבוא והוא יכבוש את העולם, כולם ישתמשו רק בו

אני - אוקיי, מתי מתחילים

מנהל ההדרכה - עוד שבועיים

והשאר ...היסטוריה

שנת 2000, מתכנת לאחר סיום הלימודים יוצא לשיא הבועה

אני התחלתי כמתכנת delphi, כן כן בחברה קטנה מאוד.

אחרי כשבועיים תפס אותי סמנכ"ל הפיתוח ואמר שנראה לו שאני כמוהו, לא מסוגל  לשבת ליותר מכמה דקות וזה לא מהתכונות של מתכנת מצטיין בדיוק.

או במילים אחרות, מתכנת טוב אתה לא.הוא התקין לי SQL 2000 SQL ואמר לי שמעכשיו אני DBA.

I grew-up to be an SQL Server DBA from the very base... mastered the internals of IBM DB2 on MVS OS/3900 system. After my sight degraded from 6/6 to black/green I upgraded my skils to Oracle 8.1.7 and it's many many fix packs... After completly losing patiance executing "commit" after every command line I found my peace in SQL Server 2000. This was around the year 2003-2004...

The rest is history

At the premier of the first ever database movie "The Relational Chainsaw Massacre", the crowd is waiting for the stars to arrive:

The first limousine arrives and out steps Oracle followed by 4 people

Interviewer: Who have you brought along?

Oracle: I have 4 DBA's in tow. One to install me, one to design the databases, one to administer me and the other to justify the cost.

A second limo arrives and out steps DB2 followed by 40 people

Interviewer: Who have you bought along?

DB2: I have 2 DBA's, 2 hardware specialist and 36 consultants.

Another limo arrives and out steps SQL Server all on his own

Interviewer: Why haven't you brought anyone?

SQL Server: I didn't bring anyone because I am easy to install and am basically self managing. But I did bring this URL for sqlteam when the *** hits the fan.

------------------

What whould anyone want to become after such joke? Of course, DBA SQL Server !
