Question of the Month

As a DBA, you often work on your own, and sometimes it’s difficult to find someone you can exchange your tips and tricks with. So I’m offering a little competition on my blog with the aim to help each other become exceptional DBAs by sharing our knowledge. Every month, I’ll ask a database administration themed question, and you’re invited to post your answer. At the end of the month, I will select the best entry from those posted at this website, and you’ll have an opportunity to win a prize (for example, a license for a Red Gate SQL Server tool). All answers to the question will be linked to from this page, and we can start building a bank of solid community tips and best practices!

Get started, and find out what the prize is, by clicking below.

March 2010: What is the biggest mistake/problem you have ever found on a SQL Server instance, and how did you fix it?

February 2010: What is one of your best practices for making full backups and transactions log backups of your production databases?
