I don’t know when I first heard about Redgate, but it might have been in 2005 when Steve Jones asked me to review their product, SQL Backup, for SQL Server Central. It was quite the coincidence when my manager asked me a few weeks later if I had heard of SQL Backup and would I like to switch to that backup solution. (We did begin using it!) Lots of other folks have been using SQL Compare or SQL Prompt for years, and they usually tell me about how they love these products when I talk to them at events.

Redgate software is turning 20 years old! To celebrate, we are hosting a special edition of SQL in the City Streamed on September 4^th. There will be surprises and lots of fun, so be sure to register. I may be wearing the costume of one of my sci-fi heroes, and you don’t want to miss that!
