SQL in the City

Last Friday, I attended "SQL in the City," a free SQL training workshop held in Los Angeles, California. Unlike other free workshops or conferences that mostly about sales marketing, this workshop had a lot of useful technical sessions presented by well known gurus in SQL community. Just few days before the event, I changed my mind. I thought that I will not go since two hours driving to Los Angeles was an inconvenience.

At the event, the speaker asked us about whether we were developers, DBA, or both. I thought I was a developer; that is what I have done my whole career. Actually, I was both when I working for a small company: Developer and DBA. There were many DBA sessions I attended more than Developer sessions since they are my interesting issues.

On the way home, I was so happy that I did not skip this great event. I appreciated Red Gate provided me and others a chance to learn new things and refresh our knowledge.
