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.

If you want to get in contact with me you can drop me a line on Twitter or my site.
