Ah, yes, the mythical SQL Server 2018 that only Copilot and probably Satya know about.😅

In some weird uno reverse type of way a company has offered to pay me in "exposure" on my own blog for reviewing their product.
Thanks, vendor of [#database corruption recovery tool], but, as tempting as being paid with the opportunity to write a review for your product sounds, I'll have to pass.

SSMS 21.3.6 introduces the ability to rename unsaved query editor tabs.
Combined with the options to position tabs vertically, color code them based on RegEx patterns, and pinning important tabs (which was possible in previous versions too), makes juggling multiple opened tabs/files more manageable.

SQL Server Management Studio 21.2.5 is out.

Fans of maintenance plans and SSIS will be happy to know the two features have been reinstated as part of this update.

I found the bar where developers who dislike set theory like to hang out. 😅

Imagine running a version of SQL Server that's a quarter of a century old and thinking it's a good idea to expose it to the internet.
