T-SQL Tuesday #191 Normalizing Comma Data
If you've escaped string parsing thus far, count thyself lucky. I've seen some numbing scripts from pre-SQL Server 2016 when STRING_SPLIT was introduced. I think the fact this month's T-SQL Tuesday is entirely on string parsing says enough about how many ways there are to paint this particular cat. I've been using the IMDb's public dataset since my early days of presenting.

#PassSummit2024 is underway, and it's already been a wonderful experience. Yesterday was my first "Hi Courtney, I've heard your name and wanted to introduce myself" and today was my first "I've heard your name before." Cloud nine. If you're at PASS feel free to flag me down. I'd love to meet you.

Looking forward to meeting with people via the experts clinic during PASS. I'm available for Accidental DBA, Performance Tuning, and DEI as a woman in tech. I can't wait! Sign-up here with me or another great colleague.

Excited to present at #PassDataSummit this fall! Last year was a great experience, and this year can only be better. Couldn't have done it without my support network.

Rarely here, but looking for some experts in the #Oracle #MySQL or #MongoDB space to work with the Redgate monitoring team. Reach out if you want to do a little research and give feedback.

Would you pay 20$ to attend a local data conference? (This sql sat but more open to other stacks like ai oracle Postgres pbi etc)

Come check out my first big presentation with New Stars Of Data, Friday April 4th, 10:45 EST.
