Session Details - Don't try this at work !

As a DBA for hire I'm mostly thrown into the deep with dozens if not hundreds of SQL Servers and SA rights. This is usually ok, I do have some DBA skills through my years of experience and I'm not one of those cowboy developers :-) Sometimes though I get myself, and occasionally also the customer, in trouble by doing something silly. This session is not about best practices. I'll show you what can go wrong during day to day DBA stuff and how to fix it.
Andre Kamman
I'm a contractor based in the Netherlands. Working with SQL Server since version 6.5 I sometimes think that I have memorized Books Online by now and can do my work on autopilot. But usually even before my first cup of coffee something strange happens and I find myself searching for clues on Google. I am a co-founder and currently chairman of the Dutch PASS chapter.
