I have to apologize to everyone that attended my Continuous Integration for Databases talk at SQL Bits. I ran over, a few demos didn’t work, and my machine flaked more than expected. I know those things happen, but I still need to apologize.
While there were problems with my demos, I should have moved on and gone through things a little quicker as well. I could have cut out, or cut down a few concepts, to get through things quicker. The session is really built for 75 minutes, but that’s no excuse. I need a 60 minute, smoothly delivered, version.
I also should have run through everything completely after some changes at Red Gate. I only set up part of it, which was a mistake. I don’t know if I’d have caught anything, but I might have.
I’ll work on getting some video and written content of the presentation up here, and hopefully that will help you understand the concepts, and perhaps start to implement CI with your own databases.


It does mean that I might get to look at a presentation I couldn’t attend, and I otherwise would not have noticed. There is an upside for me for the frustrations you expressed.
