#MSSQL
For the IT nerds:

I just did an in-place upgrade from Server 2019 to Server 2025 on a production MSSQL database server with zero issues. Please clap.

Why do incels prefer MSSQL to MySQL?

Because when they need to update a timestamp in MySQL they call NOW(), but when they do it in MSSQL they can pretend they're finally getting a date (GETDATE())

Microsoft are rewriting the SQL server driver for Python as a standalone package that doesn’t require ODBC. The new driver will be faster, async, and much easier to install. At the moment it’s a very early Alpha build but checkout the roadmap.

How is it that companies used to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for the license of a few cores to run databases like MSSQL or Oracle in the 90s and 2000s

Yet nowadays any dev tools company closing $100K+/year/customer is a massive, incredible feat, even when offering far far more?

It’s so damn cold here, I’m gonna fire up a MSSQL cluster to warm the house up a bit.

The new MsSqlPersister works with SQL Server, Azure SQL Database & Azure SQL Managed Instance. Bring your own mssql pool, so passwordless Azure auth just works.

Huge thanks to Peter Skoglund for building it! 🙏

this is a sick joke

because we all know the panoptic surveillance database is probably an SSIS dashboarding system with an unpatched MSSQL from 2014 as a backend
October 8, 2024 at 1:50 AM
MSSQL, AD, Exchange, basically everything that you need to manage Windows clients, VDI stuff

and a lot enterprise software that's not backend-only (or containerized) loves Windows

Well, I guess I can add MSSQL to the old resume
