All About Me


The fine folks over at the Carnegie Mellon Database Group have been putting on a series of talks about different databases, and they finally got around to my beloved SQL Server.

This is a really interesting talk, but don’t stop there. Be sure to check out their other videos. They’re a little more database agnostic, but still generally useful.

Also, Andy Pavlo is a cutie patootie.
