New blog post! Ran into an issue with a data retention policy for a temporal history table. It took me a while to figure out why there were still old rows hanging around. Turned out to be user error. Thought it would be fun to share that process. chadbaldwin.net/2024/08/05/tem…

New blog post: Everything's a case statement! I was having a fun discussion in the SQL Server slack community about how things like IIF, COALESCE, etc are just syntactic sugar for CASE statements. So I thought I'd throw together a blog post about it... chadbaldwin.net/2024/07/30/eve…

It's been a little over 2 years since my last blog post. I finally got around to throwing one together after some encouragement from a few people on the SQL Server Community Slack. chadbaldwin.net/2024/07/09/fun…

Meet @lukemgordon. Luke is an @awscloud Solutions Architect that likes to gloat and put others down on TikTok for what they do for a living. Don't be like Luke. Treat others with respect. I see these types of comments a lot on SQL related TikToks and it's pretty sad.

For those of you who are "on the job learners" like myself...how do you get yourself to learn new things while not "on the job"? I've been trying to learn Python for years. But without the pressure of a due date, and people depending on it, I can't seem to keep myself focused.

Fellow nerds who work from home... If you have Google Cast devices (TV, Chromecast, Home) I recommend setting up @home_assistant for this alone. Controlling them with a UI, button, webhook, etc is so nice. SO in other room watching TV, and you get a teams call? Click...Paused.
