You are listening to WOxPod!, episode # 015 – Brian Davis
Today we have an interview with Brian Davis, A good friend of my wife and I, and a seemingly hidden secret of the SQL Community.
Hey everyone, Chris Bell here with WaterOx Consulting. The WOxPod! podcast is produced for your enjoyment. Show notes can be found at WaterOxConsulting.com/Podcasts. You can also find links for the show and previous shows there as well.
What I want you to do is come back often though and feel free to add WOxPod! to your favorite RSS feed. You can even subscribe on Android and also Itunes now! (Trust me that one was a bit of a pain to get working on our systems, but it is working now!) Just search for WaterOx and you’ll find us in there. You can also follow me on twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, all of which are linked through the website, WaterOxConsulting.com. Can you guess I’m kinda driving you to the website to check out some stuff. We have a lot of things on there. We’ve got podcasts. We’ve got videos. The other thing you can get on there is my sp_WoxCompliant script. That’s a new script I’ve got, totally free! I don’t even ask for an email address. You can download it, check it out, try it out as I’m building this up. What it does is goes out and checks your SQL Server for compliance to various regulations. Right now it is starting off working with the DoD STIGs, something a little bit different in there. It is a good set of guidelines if you are thinking about securing your systems at all, or worried at all about security on your systems. Get a copy of this and run it against your systems. A couple of things to keep in mind. It doesn’t work on version earlier than SQL Server 2008, and someone did get it and test it against a case sensitive database and it was having some issues in there, but we are working to get that fixed and cleared up. Once you download it, you have the option to provide your email address to be kept up to date when updates are released so you don’t have to come back and check the site constantly for it. We’ll just email you when we put an update out for you to download and have the latest and greatest checks in there.
So, go to the website, check it out, go to the show links at WaterOxConsulting.com/Podcasts and you can download that there too.
Enough rambling on about me and my scripts and the stuff I do, let’s get on to the show and have a nice little talk with Brian Davis.
