SQL Saturday Holland 2016

I’m a big fan of SQL Saturdays. I frequently speak at them and I’m part of the team behind SQL Saturday Holland.
This year (2016), the Data Discovery team from InfoSupport made a great video about our event.
I’m so proud to be a part of our event, can’t wait until we start planning the 2017 edition!

Managing Ola Hallengrens scripts with Powershell

I presented for the PASS Powershell Virtual Chapter on June 15th, 2016
It was an online session and it was recorded, the youtube video of it is here

I figured out what was wrong with the two little demo fails.
I was pressing F8 to only execute my selection but because of a CLS I didn’t see the error message.
That function that I use to load a script from a relative path doesn’t work when you press F8, only when you run the whole script with F5
Apparently F8 gives you a different execution context.

And the reason why the Excel demo didn’t produce 2 paths is because I specified the -SHOW option in the first one, the second export option failed because the excel file was in use by Excel itself

The slides and scripts can be downloaded here
