The cloud is all the buzz lately. New features like Automatic Tuning and Active Geo-replication are now being offered by AzureDB with the majority of their package offerings. Automatic Tuning is a free service! How can a traditional DBA compete with such things?
Join us for our next #SQLChat on Wednesday, September 13 with Jim Donahoe (@SQLFlipFlopsDBA) as he leads a discussion on the state of the DBA.
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 this month’s giveaway prize. This month’s giveaway prize is a $100 FANCHEST gift basket!
