  • Blog Post: Microsoft Free Software – a personal top ten

    You might think this will would make for a really short article post but actually  there’s a  huge amount of free tools and resource out there and I have had to restrict myself to a top ten across the server and client,  based on what Simon and I have used.  So please feel free to...

  • Blog Post: Moving to Hyper-V

    I am being asked more and more often about how to move virtual machines onto Hyper-V and so I wanted to do a definitive post on the tools and techniques to do this.  Whatever your reasons for doing this you’ll want to ensure your users have a good experience post migration and the secret to this...

  • Blog Post: The 7P’s of projects

    Proper Preparation & Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance I mention this because the process of working out how to make changes to your data centre can and should take longer than doing the actual work.  For example if you are going to dive into virtualisation or do more with it,...

  • Blog Post: SQL Server 2008 not just for DBAs

    I am sure SQL Server is administered by many ‘accidental’ DBAs i.e. IT Professionals who get saddled with looking after databases, while performing a bunch of other infrastructure management tasks.  One of my good friends Jonathan Noble at Newcastle University is one of these and so I thought it...

  • Blog Post: Must have tool for Migrating Access to SQL Server

    I have a love hate relationship with Access for the same reason, it’s seductive simplicity.  You can knock up an application in no time, which my wife did recently to learn the tool and to keep track of our extensive book collection.  That quick start and get going appeal, starts to pail as...

  • Blog Post: SQL Server Migration

    I knew that there was a toolkit to help move an application from Oracle to SQL Server, but I hadn’t appreciated that there was one for Sybase and Access these also now come in two flavours, one to move you to SQL Server 2005, and one for SQL Server 2008: SQL Server 2005 Migration Assistant for: ...
