Being a native Texan, I have to admit it is a little strange that I have never been to Houston before, but I cannot think of a more fitting reason to make the drive down there. There is also that whole Dallas vs. Houston thing&#8230;.but that is an unrelated post that I think other sites have already covered ad nauseam.<\/p>\n<p>My session this weekend will be on <a title=\"Making the Leap from Developer to DBA\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sqlsaturday.com\/viewsession.aspx?sat=308&amp;sessionid=21757\">Making the Leap from Developer to DBA <\/a>&#8211; a topic I am all too familiar with since I have lived it. Fulfillment of that desire to innovate and create things can be accomplished as a DBA, but that is only a small part of the role. The business depends on you to make sure data is accurate and available in a timely fashion. Developers depend on you for the same thing but also for things like deploying their code&#8230;and trying to prevent them from hanging themselves and you when you do it.<\/p>\n<p>It is still not too late to sign up for the event. If you are in Texas or anywhere near Houston you should go&#8230;and come to my session. Hope to see you there. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend will be my second time to speak at a SQL Saturday event, and the first time I will be doing it solo.
