The most popular posts this year were when I ran my Fundamentals classes for free throughout the year. I ran a different class per month, and posted signups and videos here on the blog. I’m setting those aside, though, because they’re not evergreen: they’ve since disappeared since I only ran ’em free for a limited…

Your team has been reading my blog, watching my free public streams, and using the First Responder Kit scripts for years. They’ve gone as far as they can go on their own, learning from Google, and now they’re ready for the next level. I can bring the conference to you – except way better than a…

When I’m doing a webcast, the same question always comes up: “Hey, how do I get one of those coffee mugs?” We used to give ’em away during our in-person live training classes, but since I stopped doing those, we needed to come up with a plan B. Now you can buy Brent Ozar Unlimited…

So, we’re still under lockdown, huh? I see. Well, I guess I’ve got no choice but to keep y’all busy. Let’s get together for some free live classes: May 12 (Tues) Noon Eastern: The New Robots in SQL Server 2017 and 2019 – You’ve been hearing about all these robots that are coming to take…

I hate posting things on April 1, but there’s no laughing here, only cheering. During our March quarantine sale, I donated 10% of all sales to Doctors Without Borders. I’m proud to announce that y’all raised $8,919 to provide lifesaving medical humanitarian care in over 70 countries. I’m excited to see you in class. Y’all…

It’s last-minute, I know, but I’m doing an online user group session for the Pensacola Data Professionals, and you’re welcome to attend online free if you like. It’s tonight at 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central, 5PM Pacific. Here’s the abstract: Watch Brent Tune Queries – Ever wonder how somebody else does it? Watch over the virtual shoulder…

Yesterday, I showed the stuff you read the most, but enough data – now, let’s talk about feelings. These were the 11 posts I remember with the most fondness, in date order. I did indeed like some of the ones from yesterday’s list a lot, but I’m going to set those aside. Erik and Tara…

Here are the 2019 posts you visited the most this year: 10. The Silent Bug I Find in Most Triggers – Once you know how to recognize this bug, you’ll see it everywhere. I wrote the post as an interactive Azure Data Studio notebook, something I thought I’d be doing a lot in 2019, but…

I don’t usually post product reviews here on the blog, but Vadim Kulikov (aka BlondeDBA in Slack) recently finished all of the Mastering classes, and he took the time to write a really detailed review. Here it is, unedited: I heard some folks refer to Brent’s training as “Brent Ozar’s Full Experience”. I really like…

I teach my Mastering classes in a regular rotation: Mastering Index Tuning, then Mastering Query Tuning, then Mastering Server Tuning. I go 1-2-3 like that because they build on each other, and I repeat ’em over and over through the year so people can gradually make progress. I just finished another rotation, so it’s time…

I registered it before then, and it used to be a static HTML site, but I consider the birthday to be the first published blog post from May 7, 2002. A few fun stats: 2002 Brent: at home with a Thinkpad with a webcam module on top, reading HAL-PC Magazine 2,546 blog posts 38,614 comments…
