That conference coming up is worth it.

T-SQL Tuesday #197: The Value of Conference Season

I started attending conferences for the first time circa 2022. I'd been made aware of the data community a couple years earlier by accident, and I finally felt ready to attend my first conference. Needless to say, it was daunting. The one thing I knew going in was the importance of talking to everyone, as most people who know me are abundantly aware of.

T-SQL Tuesday #196: Sight Unseen, One Foot Forward A long time ago, my dad made me read a book called "Who Moved My Cheese?" which talks about change and how uncomfortable or frustrating it can be. It's a phrase I use a lot. "Don't move my cheese." "Someone moved your cheese." I get some odd looks…

T-SQL Tuesday #196: Sight Unseen, One Foot Forward

A long time ago, my dad made me read a book called "Who Moved My Cheese?" which talks about change and how uncomfortable or frustrating it can be. It's a phrase I use a lot. "Don't move my cheese." "Someone moved your cheese." I get some odd looks for it, because frankly I was only 5 when this book came out.

T-SQL Tuesday #193 Ghosts of Jobs Past & Future

Self Family Work My first job out of college involved relocating an untold number of times to unfamiliar places and meeting an incredible number of people, all for a pretty price. And I did. I moved to half a dozen states, met hundreds of people, nabbed a husband (mine eventually, not someone else's), and built out more found family than I could have dreamed.

T-SQL Tuesday #191 Normalizing Comma Data If you've escaped string parsing thus far, count thyself lucky. I've seen some numbing scripts from pre-SQL Server 2016 when STRING_SPLIT was introduced. I think the fact this month's T-SQL Tuesday is entirely on string parsing says enough about how many…

T-SQL Tuesday #191 Normalizing Comma Data

If you've escaped string parsing thus far, count thyself lucky. I've seen some numbing scripts from pre-SQL Server 2016 when STRING_SPLIT was introduced. I think the fact this month's T-SQL Tuesday is entirely on string parsing says enough about how many ways there are to paint this particular cat. I've been using the IMDb's public dataset since my early days of presenting.

#PassSummit2024 is underway, and it's already been a wonderful experience. Yesterday was my first "Hi Courtney, I've heard your name and wanted to introduce myself" and today was my first "I've heard your name before." Cloud nine. If you're at PASS feel free to flag me down. I'd love to meet you.
