  1. The DR Cloud: An Example

    Disclaimer: The enterprise Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS) that I will be using is for offered by the company I work for. I have been there 10 years and I am proud of our product set so I may be a little bias. However, these steps should be similar for most ...

  2. First look at SQL 2008 R2

    I’ve started to install the CTP of SQL Server 2008 R2. The first change I ran across was this screen during installation. I don’t have a copy of SharePoint Fourteen(?) so I chose the more familiar SQL Server Feature Installation. I’m installing this on a virtual server so I can ...

  3. 24 Hours of PASS

  6. Alas, no booting to a .VHD for me

    I’ve been reading quite a bit lately about attaching a virtual drive to a computer in Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server R2. It would be nice to have the ability to boot directly into a virtual server. But I’m not seeing a way I can achieve it, at least ...

  7. Crystal Reports Formula for MSDB Dates and Times

    As a DBA, I find myself spelunking through data and often having to present it in a somewhat human-friendly format. This is where my skills with Crystal Reports come in quite handy. I joke that I’m a Crystal Reports Jedi Master. Truth be told, I’ve just been working ...

  8. HP SIM Manual Discovery causes issues

    Recently we upgraded to a new version of HP SIM (systems insight manager), of course not testing it or letting the DBA's know. Suddenly some things crash. The new version of HP Sim provides a "richer discovery model"; oh it's rich! Seems the new version performs some type ...

  9. I am not the first DBA to take up this cause… but I am determined to be the last

    OK maybe this article is not THAT important LOL but it was a great quote by Obama so I figured I’d work it in LOL Please know what Recovery Mode your databases are in and your recovery requirements and then back them up accordingly. Too often I see databases ...
