One *could* argue that it’s not that Fabric isn’t Enterprise-ready, rather that your Enterprise isn’t Fabric-ready.
That’s SAP’s model, and it’s worked very well for them.

It seems that one can view downstream dependencies, but not upstream ? That’s only available to dbo and higher.
What’s up with that, mssqlsystemresource ?!? #ssms

Don’t hate me, but I’m seriously considering using Toad instead of SSMS as my daily drive.
Not that SSMS isn’t good, it’s just that Toad does useful stuff without having to install additional plugins or Visual Studio….

The network is fine
So is the storage
It’s not DNS

Ever get the feeling your team is being intentionally fractured ? We’re stronger together, not better apart.

If you get an email at work that says “Please do not report this email as spam/phishing”, you should totally report it as spam/phishing because it means that either the comms wonks or the sec wonks are clearly doing something wrong…

Basically, use the right DBMS for your use case.
You don’t have to, mind. You can just use whichever one you want and then bitch about everything else.
I have yet so see anything that does things fundamentally different - all features and capabilities eventually converge anyway.

So I’m in that there London for a #MongoDB event tomorrow.
While I appreciate the chance to learn something different, I’m a bit disheartened that however much I learn I’ll not be able to implement *any* of it.
Is it an “office politics” or a trust thing ?
