This weekend will be my second time to speak at a SQL Saturday event, and the first time I will be doing it solo. Being a native Texan, I have to admit it is a little strange that I have never been to Houston before, but I cannot think of a more fitting reason to make the drive down there. There is also that whole Dallas vs. Houston thing….but that is an unrelated post that I think other sites have already covered ad nauseam.
My session this weekend will be on Making the Leap from Developer to DBA – a topic I am all too familiar with since I have lived it. Fulfillment of that desire to innovate and create things can be accomplished as a DBA, but that is only a small part of the role. The business depends on you to make sure data is accurate and available in a timely fashion. Developers depend on you for the same thing but also for things like deploying their code…and trying to prevent them from hanging themselves and you when you do it.
It is still not too late to sign up for the event. If you are in Texas or anywhere near Houston you should go…and come to my session. Hope to see you there. 🙂
