Busy Year!
Well 2010 has been very interesting. My company are working away on the next generation of our software. It’s been busy in the engineering team, bringing on new contractors for the duration and I have been up to my eyeballs with a number of projects as well as support.
Thankfully, I am now back fulltime on the build of our new software. In hindsight, I should have voiced stronger concerns about not having a fulltime presence from the DBA team. We have a good team of developers so the schema was decent, but we did need a few changes to types, lengths.
We’re also using MySQL as a backend for our hosted client environment. We’re putting it through the paces now. It’s an interesting product and has some cool features. We’re still developing the client database in SQL Server as well. Our central databases will remain as SQL Server.
Due to the amount of work this year, I have not actually completed any of my posts. I currently have 4 unfinished posts. I think I will be investing in a netbook so I can work on my posts when I am on the train to and from work.
