Moving your databases to "the cloud" won't eliminate the DBA job – but it will change it. Microsoft Azure SQL Database, in particular, has automated certain tasks the DBA used to be responsible for, and added new features that developers have embraced.
Join Jes Borland (@grrl_geek) on Wednesday, May 24 at 11 AM CT to learn what features are available in Azure SQL Database. Participants will discuss their questions and concerns about using SQL Database, and best practices for managing it.
This #SQLChat will allow members from the SQL community to discuss SQL Server’s biggest topics with IDERA product experts, and have a chance to win a giveaway prize.
Get your party pants on! This month’s giveaway prize is a Karaoke Machine!
