Remember to watch the watchers. A different #SQLServer group at a mutual client was just caught adding an unauthorized index to a critical table. It caused cascading blocking and took down a critical system last night. This was after it was stressed to NOT make changes without ISV written approval.

It's pretty amazing how insistent the OS vendors are at pushing AI-driven nonsense down our throats... I don't need your AI app pinned to my desktop, launch bar, anything.

Arguing with an ISV who has a database design that needs significant optimization is almost a hobby at this point…

Anyone else want to unleash a box of pit vipers on spammers who end unsolicited emails with "if you'd like to unsubscribe, just reply back with 'bubblegum shoelace blah blah blah"?

I love irony. I just got a report of someone rebuilding a #SQLServer monitoring tool's deadlock tracking table because... of... deadlocks.
