Editorial Republish: The Value of Data
I’m busy today, in the Redgate office, rehearsing and practicing for the SQL Privacy Summit. Today I’m republishing The Value of Data.
Auto-Deleting Data
Email has been a part of my life for well over nearly thirty years. It’s kind of amazing to think of a time back in high school when there weren’t electronic communications. That seems foreign now, as we don’t have … Continue reading

Local Database Issues
There was a report that Spotify is writing lots of junk data to users’ local drives. Some people have noted GB a day or writes, even when they aren’t using Spotify for listening to music. Some debugging by users show … Continue reading
The Exciting World of Data
I was honored to have the chance to give the keynote at SQL Saturday #520 in Cambridge this year. This was a quick keynote, and it was fast. I didn’t record it, but people seemed to enjoy it, and I … Continue reading
