#SQLBits off we go. Amazing swag this year, love jt

[Raul Gonzalez @SQLDoubleG]

trying to access my @SQLskills training this morning and got this, tried different browsers. It seems my Sunday morning training's been cancelled 😕

[Raul Gonzalez @SQLDoubleG]

@SOZDBA My 2 cents, switching tables can be a nightmare if fks or the table is too hot.
Inserts>small batches
Del/upds>small batches pre calculating changes if possible & accessing the table using the Pk

@BrentO I don't remember unsubscribing but I'll sign up with another address. Thanks @BrentO

[Raul Gonzalez @SQLDoubleG]

Hi @BrentO , at some point I stopped receiving your newsletter and re-subscribed but still not getting it. Anything to do with GDPR maybe?

@sql_williamd @jdanton Some Aws instances come with huge nvme (2tb) but only 64gb ram. It's temporary storage so no dbs can be placed there. We use it for tempdb. Thought about BPE but it's not recommended having both in the same drive.
