Okay but why? I have worked with computers since I was old enough to remember. The first computer I had in my room was a Commodore 64/128 (you held down the C= key on boot to switch). It was an elderly machine by the time I got it in the 1990s, but it started me…

As I’ve mentioned before, running MongoDB on Windows can present a unique set of challenges since MongoDB is, for all intents and purposes, Linux native. Recently, I was tasked with creating a method by which the following could be done in a Windows environment via automation: The purpose of this is two-fold. We want to…

I’ve stated before that the Mongo environment I am most familiar with is based in Windows. Since MongoDB is Linux-native, this presents its own set of challenges.

FETCH NEXT 5 About a week ago I posted about the Top 5 Things I’m most excited to see in SQL Server 2017. As you may have noticed, I just focused on the Engine/Agent and not on anything else. To be fair (and I’m always fair to myself), most of the big exciting changes were…

New Year, New Database Engine It’s finally here! A few days ago as of this writing, SQL Server 2017 was released for Windows, Ubuntu, RedHat and Docker.
