SQL
As a programmer and then later a developer at the job I have, I’ve always been someone that had to know a lot of different technologies. By this, I mean that I really have never been in able to focus on in any one technology. I work for a small company that does custom application development to suit the customers needs, so we adapt to them. In my work, I use VB6, Crystal Reports (8, 8.5, 10, 11), Visual Basic.Net, C#, SQL, LLBLGen, ASP, etc, etc. On top of those responsibilities I also help with the Network and I run the phone system here.
After all these years though, I’ve always been drawn to one thing here at work, SQL Server. I love designing databases and writing stored procedures. So, I’m pushing deeper into MSSQL to learn everything I possibly can, big or small, to help me be better at what I do. Thankfully, I’ve been pushed more into the database world lately, so now is the perfect opportunity to expand my SQL knowledge even further.
Basically, I’m stating this because I am going to start blogging about things I learn SQL-wise along the way, no matter how small. I know it will be helpful to me but hopefully, I’ll be a help to someone else along the way as well.
