YouTube Channel Update: 11 May 2018

I've been busy getting the videos up on YouTube. If they're helpful to you, please subscribe. Some point soon I'll start doing some livestreams, maybe from different events, or during a presentation. If you're subscribed, you'll know about it when it happens. Videos We're getting closer and closer to when implementation of enforcement of the GDPR starts on the 25th of this month. Here's something else to think about in regards to data mapping: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWIhg7uV1IQ[/embedyt] I find over and over that people really don't understand what a deadlock is. I make an attempt at explaining it so that everyone can understand: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmxQGfasm54[/embedyt] Have I mentioned the GDPR yet? Yeah, well, you're also going to have to deal with data portability when dealing with the GDPR. Get your JSON…

Despite a hiccup recently on Twitter where I managed to spam all my followers with links to my YouTube videos (so sorry about that), I am still posting videos. Please subscribe to the channel. Video Lists I created video lists. Here they are, in no particular order: SQL Server and Microsoft Data Platform GDPR and How It Relates to Your Data SQL Server Query Performance Tuning Redgate Software Videos DevOps and Databases I hope it helps to have them grouped up. Videos Here are the videos I've posted over the last few weeks. First, too many people take a "poke it and see what happens" approach to query tuning. I try to talk to that issue here: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHxOrPEyPb8[/embedyt] Want to know where I go to learn about the GDPR?…

Hey! Here's the latest on my YouTube Channel. Click on through and subscribe. I'll be doing lots of stuff on the Microsoft Data Platform, GDPR, DevOps, Redgate, and all sorts of IT related information. Here are the last couple of weeks worth of videos: Very popular was my discussion of the idea that the reason DBAs don't adopt the latest and greatest piece of shiny is because we're all beholden to vendors instead of trying to make good decisions for our the organizations that pay us (as if the "best" decision is to always grab the new shiny). OK, I'm giving away my thoughts, here's the video: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TVeRSc3gLg[/embedyt] Next most popular was my question, so, if we're not resisting change because of vendor lock (and we're not) why are…

Youtube Channel Update

Misc

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment to promote the work I've been doing with the YouTube Channel. I've published four videos in the last week. The most popular was an introduction to the GDPR: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uADi45AVUM4[/embedyt] I'll be talking about that quite a bit more in the coming weeks. I thought this video which shows you how to compare plans in SQL Server Management Studio would be more popular: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHnZCtUAo44[/embedyt] However, this one showing wait statistics in execution plans seems to be getting more hits: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTf82c6L4oE[/embedyt] Finally, my comparison between the mistaken missile alerts in Hawaii and database design fell over flat. No one was all that interested: [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYy9xmieFmM[/embedyt] I hope these videos are proving as useful to you as the blog posts I do…
