Searching for Mexican Food... on CodePlex?

Tagging is all fun and games until somebody gets hurt, right? Actually, like so-called Google-bombing, it can be pretty funny. Have you ever been guilty of surfing while hungry? It appears that somebody was pretty hungry while they were wandering around

A little snafu delayed things, but they're all signed, sealed and delivered now. I only had to skip a little of the launch party to get them out the door... Microsoft SQL Server Community & Samples - Release: SQL Server 2008 RTM Enjoy!

Cool (Free, Open) Tools: SQL RSS
23 June 08 01:15 PM
Even if nobody has asked you for an RSS feed of data in one or more of your databases, it won't be long before they do! When they do, you can grab this configurable, easy to use data-driven RSS feed widget. A couple ideas for using this application: Business

Be there. Do that. Get the T-shirt.
25 March 08 10:08 AM
Since I've never been to an MVP Global Summit, Tech*Ed or the SQL PASS summit, I'm looking forward to going this year. Since I will have T-shirts, I'm hoping that I won't have to be lonely. Heh. SQL Heroes : The T-shirts have arrived. If you don't have

I'm hoping that I can keep my blogs straight, but for the duration of the contest, I'll be blogging in two places: here and there . Here will be all the normal stuff you don't read anyway, and over there is your chance to convince me to give you a Windows

Office is now more open?
18 February 08 09:18 AM
Having been involved with a government archival project, I can say that format longevity is a serious concern. Particularly in the case of governments, documents may be required to be archived for hundreds of years. Indeed, many local, state, national

How do I use Feature X in SQL Server?
28 January 08 01:20 PM
Buck's got a great point about how SQL Server's development themes are managed from the top down: It isn't a matter of thinking up single features or changes to the product, it's a cohesive direction we all want to go. Carpe Datum : Why on earth are you

A cool DP sample that couldn't make it into the out of the box for some reason...
23 January 08 11:20 AM
Although we've been putting the SQL Server product samples in CodePlex for quite a while, I'm not sure why this one didn't wind up "in the (out of the) box" space. Go figure. Sending BLOB Data to SQL SERVER Using IROWSETFASTLOAD and ISEQUENTIALSTREAM

FILESTREAM, Windows Vista and you.
22 January 08 11:16 AM
I won't complain about yet-another-configuration-stored-procedure, since I hold out hope that managing FILESTREAM's status at the server level will be rolled into sp_configure or DDL before RTM... but this is me not holding my breath. *sigh* Anyway, if

Assimilation is complete. I have been beamed aboard the mothership. I finally moved to Redmond. If you're ever in the vicinity of Building 34, come say howdy!!
I'm one of the dozens of David Reed clones aboard the mothership, but I'm the only David Reed who is a SQL Ranger and MCA:Database. Go me!
