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!
I’m a SQL Server consultant based in the Netherlands. I’m a SQL Server MVP and I’m the co-founder and current chairman of the Dutch PASS Chapter and a member of the volunteer team for the Dutch SQL Saturday’s. I’ve done a whole lot of pure DBA work managing 100′s of servers and learning something new every day.
These days I spend a lot of time on just a few servers containing some large databases and the better part of the day is spent with SSIS. In both roles I’ve been using Powershell a lot. I joke sometimes that I replaced myself with a powershell script when leaving the DBA role, but these days I automate so much that I have to watch myself and not actually do just that
