AG's only play with your mind when you don't want them too.

Good thing you don't like security eh?

Bloody certs.

Trust server cert is underrated.

I always found that one of the hardest options to find.

Should be a configurable delay on large recipient mails

That latest bit of fun from our VM team is that they want to give us "RAM". But it's actually nvme.

You can see how awesomely that will go down.

Latest SQL servers CU's have been pulled
2025 - CU1
2022 - CU23

Be careful out there.

I feel the AG love :)

But you need solid infrastructure otherwise it's jokesville.

The effect is it's stopping new people becoming DBA's

MS like to push all to the cloud. Slowly ignoring on prem and training. But the requirement to have DBA's that can do on prem is still there.

AG's: folk don't seem to want to understand simple. I get so much complexity from "Architects". Draw a line through it put in my own simplified design.

Mostly AG, some times mirroring (esp in Standard Ed). Maybe log ship too. Whatever meets the requirements.

Are AG's ever simple? ๐Ÿ˜Š

Some of my lot used them is ads. They seems relatively usefull.

Sounds like a 1/2 decent idea. Better than ads in SSMS.

Don't start talking sense now. Some people can't handle two points of view.

I like the salsa addition. Must try that.

Surely Lando can come 3rd and he's good for the wdc still.

Pia is the one in danger of coming 3rd in the championship.

Evaluation. I want it from my Visual studio subscription. But it ain't there.

Same thing happened with 2022.

It's just for the glory of saying it's been released.

Even our major software house hasn't got the production images yet.

It's like saying the new iPhone is out but you can't get it.

Now if only it was available for download from visual studio.

Do you know there is a 404 when following the explore commands?

You know it's a pretty good kit of tools. I am not as much hands on these days.... the others in the team do more of that. I used it the other day to sync some logins :)

And the PS fellow generally run off and does his stuff and I can't tell him anything or I end up being the worlds worst ๐Ÿคฃ

Actually hoping the Ferraris can do something. But it's likely they won't know what plan to do, and will split the strategy to ensure either 1 or both of them fail.

Hopefully they can take
It to lando at the start.

Which ever one will get you into the least trouble when eveyone else tries to blame you for something not working with the DB. Cause when it's not DNS, it's the DB.

Have I missed something in SSMS 21?

The import/export data options are greyed out.

Seems like a pretty basic function to exclude?
