@ReviewMyDB Congrats Jeff!

[David Bland @SQLDave29]

I just hope somewhere along the way I helped at least one person. I love speaking about SQL server and love helping others even more

[David Bland @SQLDave29]

Thanks to all folks who planned and volunteered at SQL Saturday in Boston! It was a great event! I delivered what may end up being my final SQL Saturday session. Presenting at SQL Saturdays and user groups started in Indianapolis 10 years ago.

[David Bland @SQLDave29]

If this does end up being my last session I just wanted to thank all the folks that planned the events. I learned so much and will be forever grateful to the community. FYI, Health is not the reason I probably will no longer speak. It has been a great ride!

I am looking forward to presenting my PowerShell for the SQL Server DBA session at #sqlsatatl this weekend. The again in two weeks at #SQLSatJax. Where I will also present a new session on Securing your Azure SQL Database. It is going to be fun!!!!
