"Individuals recently claimed to have hacked portions of the MySQL.com and Sun.com web sites. The results of Oracle's preliminary investigation do not indicate a wide compromise; however the attackers published a small number of user IDs, e-mails, and passwords. In an abundance of caution, Oracle recommends that users who had accounts on these systems change their passwords as soon as possible. Furthermore, users who employed the same passwords on other systems should change them as well. Guidelines for choosing strong passwords are readily available on the Internet, including on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength)."

Blog Post: Australian Education Partners at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference

I've already mentioned that the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) is in Los Angeles this year, from 10-14th July.

This year the education partner activities will be planned to ensure that you don't miss out on other activities at the event. This means that there will be specific Education sessions during the Industry Track during the week. What's always a challenge is finding enough time during those tracks to dive into enough detail about our education solutions. One proposal is to add on a morning after the main conference has closed, to allow us to put on a mini-version of February's Global Education Partner Conference, that has been held in Seattle in the last few years.

If that idea appeals to you - or you'd simply like to be kept in the loop on plans for education sessions at GEPS - drop me an email

At the moment, you can still get the early-bird rate on the 5-day All Access Pass (which works out at less than US$400 a day) until 25th April.

I'll get more details on the education content shortly, but I'd definitely recommend registering to the conference, and considering entering yourself into the WPC Awards too (deadline extended to 29th April). If you're looking for a great way to reward a valuable member of your team, a trip to WPC would definitely be a memorable experience which would deliver significant business benefits back to you too.

So even though I am a truly dedicated SQL server maintenance professional worker, I do need a break too.

Remote DBA and SQL Administrator Jobs

2009-04-05T06:56:00.000-07:00

Since the widespread problem of security and database failure all over the world, the demand for SQL administrators and database maintenance professionals have increased dramatically. The problem is that most of the jobs offered for SQL and remote DBA handlers are usually offered outside of the country.

For this reason, there seems to be no room anymore for local professionals in the field of DBA and SQL jobs to be offered. I bet this will all change especially when people learn that the security issue is a serious business necessity.

Take for example the case of the conficker virus or the April Fools worm, if without some of the security experts, this could have been everywhere in the billions of business websites out there. We all owe it to the SQl database and remote DBA professionals most of the time because they are the ones responsible for taking care of the security of our data which to any business is the most important.

As I've told in my previous posts, SQL professionals are the heart and soul of a business as well as the servers that these people handle for different businesses.

Today, I came close encounter with one of the best SQL maintenance people here in the Philippines where I work. His name is Jeff Manese and I know that he is one of those who might not be better than the best but what strikes me about this person is that he is so inclined to his job that he knows what and how to attack an SQL problem or bottleneck. I learned a little bit from him but I must admit that I will soon learn more. Hope to meet you again soon my friend and next time, I won't let go of you until you discuss with me that special ability you were talking about. Have a good day!

SQL Server Health Check

2008-06-17T00:59:00.000-07:00

Checking the health of the SQL server is one of the core essential jobs that a remote database administrator jobs that should be handled with care. The reason for this is because we all know that the heart and soul of a business is that server where all the important information is kept and made available to consumers and customers. If this particular job is not handled properly, this can cause an intensive damage that can lead to server downtime which is what should be primarily avoided in doing an SQL server health check.

In accomplishing the job, it is of utmost importance that the database administrator (DBA) must make sure that he/she is using a reliable tool. Only the DBA will know which perfect toll in this case to use because he/she knows the job and what it needs in any circumstance. On the other hand, allow me to introduce a few resources that I know to be working well with SQL server health check matters because I have seen some while searching for information regarding this post. One important factor in getting the right tool for the right job however is to make trials. Most of these tools are totally free for a trial period to give the user a chance to see if it is indeed effective and worth to take as a helper in checking for the health of the SQL server. This tool is the SQL Trace Analyzer. I also found another good source of the SQL Trace Analyzer tool here.

There are also great posts about the said tool in the internet and even if there are only a few of them out there who discuss about such great and interesting post about remote DBA experts and SQL server tools, there are a few good ones. There are also great press releases that I found so much juice in and in fact I read all the contents in there just to see how it can help me make this post possible for those people who are in need for such rare information and resource today about this topic. Allow me to share here a few press releases that I found from a single person who had the guts to discuss about certain important topics below.

They were made for the sole reason of informing people and business owners about the basics on their own unique topics. I have provided a title for each of those press releases so I hope you will find no problem in taking a look on what interests you best regarding SQL servers, remote DBAs, server tools and the like.
