TempDB Filling Up? Try Resource Governor. TempDB is one of the banes of my existence. Anybody, anybody who can query your server can run a denial-of-service attack in a matter of seconds just by filling it up with a simple query: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #big_problem; CREATE TABLE #big_problem (filler VARCHAR(8000)); WHILE 1 = 1 INSERT INTO #big_problem SELECT REPLICATE('X', 8000) FROM GENERATE_SERIES(1, 100000); This while loop will gradually fill up TempDB, and when one of the attempts eventually fails, that's okay because the session stays open.

As you know, DEVs will be tempted to just use it because "MS knows what they are doing".
Hence my concerns.
How many db have we seen with dozens of indexes still having their "index recommendation" name.

Is this #QueryHintRecommendationTool like the index recommendations?
Isn't #SSMS pushing people into bad practices using hints?

DP-700 training: implement database projects Some of you might recognise database projects from either Synapse Analytics or SQL Server. Yay for the latter ;). A long story, very short, database projects are a way to develop and deploy your databases using a CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Development) approach. For each database, the code you've written is saved in a specific project file and when you need to deploy a database, you don't have to go find all the scripts from the database that's running, but all you need is (yes love, that too) the project file that should be up to date with the latest code.

Blog alert!

A new installment in the DP-700 certification series, this time on implementing database projects.
