It’s been four years today. People in Ukraine are still fighting and dying to defend the rest of us from russian aggression.

Every day, Russia uses cruise missiles and UAVs to target civilian infrastructure like hospitals and powerplants.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Positively surprised to get Resource Governor also in Standar. Maybe not the one reason to upgrade but may speed up the decission to uphrade.

My top features of SQL Server 2025 for Business Intelligence Some time ago, Microsoft announced the release of a new version of SQL Server. This made me happy, mainly because in the storm of everything Fabric, Copilot, and cloud, sturdy technology still has a place, and Microsoft hasn't forgotten that. Companies still rely on on-premises systems that require databases. And running everything on-premises is still an option. Alternatively, organisations seeking complete control over their cloud database typically run a VM with SQL Server installed.

Blog alert!

This time on my first experiences with SQL Server 2025, and my take on some new features!

Great Wrath - Wikipedia

Happened to listen to an old book about the “Great Wrath” (1714-1721), a particularly destructive Russian occupation of what is now #Finland.

Kinda odd hearing traditional runic poem accounts of atrocities much like what is happening in #Ukraine today.

Dublin 2029 invites you to the crossroads, a place both permanent and ever-changing. At the edge of Europe, the veil between worlds can be thin, which makes it a perfect gathering place to share stories, plant ideas, and strike deals…. Where we dance together and step apart to create anew. (1/3)

I should have guessed Polish but now when you say it, East-German it was.

Not much can beat the light of a warm(ish) Scandinavic summer night. This at midnight at Åland Island, southern Finland.
