This value returned from the above SELECT statement \u00a0is 398 and that is the number of days since my last blog post.\u00a0\u00a0As I was formulating my apology for this hiatus from blogging, it dawned on me that I also do not twitter (sorry tweet) and as apologies beget apologies, I then realized that instead of\u00a0catching up on\u00a0the backlog of blogs, I should write a book\u00a0about\u00a0what I have been most focused on in the past year, one month and 3 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That focus is my day job, which of course, most of us have. And that day job we share is why most of us read blogs, tweets, articles and even books in the first place. So my focus for the past year has been SQL code deployments and all of that entails.\u00a0I am fortunate that Redgate has agreed to entertain my crazy notion of writing\u00a0an entire book about this subject, which I have tentatively titled, “The\u00a0Sound and the Fury”. Wait..that is not right. Oh yes, a title more befiting a techical tome but with as much profundity, “Standardizing SQL Server Code Deployements – A Redgate Guide”. The great\u00a0American novel must wait a few more years.<\/p>\n
As I\u00a0begin this journey, I\u00a0am inviting you to assist me\u00a0in the discovery process and even be interviewed and included in the book itself. How do you do deployments in your company? Do you have a documented process or no process? Do you do code review or cross your fingers?\u00a0Do you work for a small company or a Fortune 100 company? Government regulations or\u00a0 garage? It does not\u00a0 matter to me. I am not here to judge. I worked for both companies myself and have seen many things that\u00a0you can relate to.\u00a0 If you would like to participate and are one of the 3 people still reading this blog after 398 days, please fill out my survey and let’s get started.\u00a0<\/p>\n
