Reitse Eskens

As of this morning, I am on the job market, #OpenToWork, or however that is designated here. 🙂 I’m immediately looking for a new position, and my DMs are open. Thanks network!

Only after committing I guess

1 to 1 or 1 to many relations?

Congrats, they're lucky to have you on board!

I still remember that bold or italic were only different colours on my screen.

Speaking experiences at Data Community Day Austria Every now and then, I have the pleasure of presenting at a new event. This time, it was at the Data Community Day Austria, held at the Jufa hotel in Vienna. Before getting into the details, at the time of writing, I'm not fully OK. It's not a full burnout, but dangerously close. I wrote about it on LinkedIn; not going to repeat it here, but it colours my experience.

Blog alert!

This time on my speaking experiences at #DataCommunityDayAustria and a little advertising for #NewStarsOfData!

It’s Almost like they wanted to send a Signal to the climate; here’s a car without a roof, don’t you dare pour down on me.

This was fun! Thanks for organising this event and making speaker life very easy!

You want a car without a roof.

In a country famous for *checks weather app* rain.

Enjoy your retirement and you’re leaving an amazing legacy behind. Thank you.

Preparing for Corruption on SQL Server How to prepare your SQL Server to reduce the impact of corruption.

SQL Server database administrators: if you're curious about what it's like to deal with database corruption, a well-known corruption expert in our field just put out a very affordable training course on it: stedmans-sql-school.teachable.com/p/corruption

In those cases, On-Premises Data Gateway is your friend. And there's most likely one there already that facilitates access to other source systems.

I'm using a web V2 to get my KV secrets, then pass them to the notebook. Takes about 2 seconds to get the secret value and with the secret in- and outputs, nothing to see.

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

Feels like -15 degrees C

No. I think it’s PoSh7 not playing Nice with files already created in PoSh5. Append results in the weird characters, create and append works.

No, I'll leave that to Erland

When you've spent around 500 euro's and 3 days on testing different (Azure) SQL databases and Powershell decided to output everything in Chinese/Japanese characters...

Returning to being safe from hacks?

Very cool and congrats! Very nice achievement!

And, if you thought I was only testing Fabric, nope! Also doing nasty things with Azure SQL databases (helped by @dbatools.io of course!)

Screenshot of processes running in Fabric. It's showing a finished Lakehouse process in 1 hour and 43 minutes, a finished Warehouse process in 2 hours and 3 minutes, and a running Fabric SQL DB process in progress.

Doing some load testing stuff again. Let's see if, when, and how I can break it this time. Without any doubt, with me doing silly things, of course!

Hopefully it’s like a stew, usually better when left to rest and then reheated.
Not sure though what happens when you reheat an ankle…

Wishing her a quick recovery and you a good second chance on the pie.

Maybe you’ll need a double-take on this?
