About to board a flight to Chicago [...]

Speaking at SQL Saturday RicXXXXmond, er Boston. Or Mother Nature’s Reverse Cleveland Steamer.

Looks like Mother Nature is into giving certain IT professionals the old Reverse-Cleveland Steamer.  Yep, she dropped a big ol’ pile o’ cold poo on this SQL Server Presenter’s (and other’s) chests yesterday, causing the folks behind SQL Saturday #30 in Richmond to postpone until April 10, 2010.  This unfortunately coincides with Spring Break here [...]

CROSS APPLY

On Twitter this morning I saw a plea for an explanation on what CROSS APPLY is in Transact-SQL.  I answered the question via email and then realized that it may make for a post here on The SQL Agent Man… When used, CROSS APPLY will execute the function listed in the CROSS APPLY sub-clause of the [...]

Whose Pony Is It Anyways? Or Where are My Pants, Peschka?

In a recent post I laid out a challenge to all bloggers to use five phrases and craft a blog post of their choosing as a study in stengthening their writing skills while having a little fun in the process.  This is my response to the challenge.  Phrases in boldface are those that had to [...]

Whose Blog Is It Anyway?

When Comedy Central first came on the air, a quirky British improv show called Whose Line Is It Anyway became a cult hit. I remember sitting around in some state of impairment with my friends laughing our asses off each episode. Even the American version from ABC had some high points a decade later. It [...]

The next round of SQL Saturdays is rapidly approaching:  Tampa on 1/23/2010 followed by Boston and Richmond on 1/30/2010.  I received notification that two of my sessions were accepted so now comes the time when I need to get back into the swing of all-things-SQL and switch out of Holiday Mode to get some things [...]

You’ve Come A Long Way Baby
