BLOGS
I've been consulting on
and performing technical training for MS SQL Server since
1989, Version 4, on OS/2, and Sybase ASE since release 4.0.1.
Since then, I've worked extensively with each release of the
product, specializing in performance and tuning, from concept
through legacy system, on systems of all sizes, from small
start-up company applications to multi-terabyte data
warehouses. I have been working on large-scale systems for
most of that time, having tuned a 100-gig/week throughput
application on MS SQL Server 6, and created one of the first
ASE data warehouses. My background includes work experience
from PC's to Mainframes and back again, in all aspects of IT,
from developer, to DBA Manager, to IT Executive. My specialty
is performance and tuning with a special emphasis on
large-scale projects with very large databases.
