SQLBP Administrator, Contributor
Papeete, Tahiti

As a Microsoft Certified Master/Microsoft Certified Solutions Master and SQL Server MVP, I have over 25 years’ experience in the technology industry, including more than 20 with SQL Server. I also earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Information Systems from Utah State University. One of the highlights of my career was co-authoring multiple volumes in the SQL Server T-SQL Recipes series of books.  I am a frequent presenter at SQL Server events worldwide, which includes SQLSaturdays and User Groups.

I love finding that magic turbo button to make queries go faster which ultimately leads to huge relief and satisfaction for the client. I have done that sort of work for clients of all sizes throughout the world. I have experience with multi-TB databases as well as environments with thousands of SQL Server instances to manage.

I work as a SQL Server Administrator near Dallas Texas. I started working with databases over 20 years ago now. Back in the day, when the world was young, I started out working with Foxpro for DOS. It’s been awhile though, so I’m afraid I can barely spell “Foxpro” anymore. I’ve been working in SQL Server for over 15 years now with a fairly even split between administration and development.

This blog is to share some of the interesting bits and pieces I’ve either learned over the years or that I’m just now learning. If anyone has any suggestions for me to write about or questions about what I’ve already written I would love to hear them. I can almost always be found hanging out on twitter so stop by and say hi!

Hello, my name’s Nicholas Cain (not a lot of people know that).

Since the turn of the millennia, I’ve been working as a SQL Server DBA. I got my start going through a 7.0 to 2000 upgrade and have worked with those editions up to the latest versions in critical highly available production environments. This work allowed me to get enough knowledge to gain the MCM SQL Server certification.
