United States13 years ago - good but...

United Kingdom15 years ago - Excellent Podcast
Steve is great at providing information for the Database Administrator. I am a 'part time' DBA. And I get a lot out of this podcast and SQL Sever Central.
Apple Podcasts5aaigUnited States17 years ago - Steve's shows are great
Steve is a matter-of-fact DBA that has a lot of experience in the trenches of database development and database maintenance. He is a straight-shooter that doesn't pull any punches. He offers his opinions and makes you question what you would do in the same situations. A must listen for anyone responsible for data in an organization.
