Why don't we have a session called "Experiences in the Field"
Posted: 18 Jul 2005 04:14 PM |
Was speaking with a doctor and asked him how he kept up to date with everything.
He said they get together every month and present to each other, cases they have worked on. This principle seems quite applicable for the Microsoft User groups.
Have recently passed my SQL Server 2000 Admin and design exams.
Then had an interesting install where this situation wasn't in the "Book".
The situation was were we had to install sql sever on a new box and transfer all objects and databases, but keep the old box up until everything was fine.
There's a trick with the msdb database and also one with the database ownership.
Luckily I knew about the 2nd but the first part was new. Also had to rename the new server back to the old server name at the end of the day, when everything was fine.
It's these little gems of knowledge that make or break a specialist in the field.
And to think we were hired because another company had tried and failed!

Love to Tom,
We've mentioned it a number of times at the Sydney SIG.
The idea about having potentially a 15 minute presentation from people about their "experiences in the field", etc.
But guess what?
No-one volunteers...
Perhaps you could be the first to get things started?
