Triangle SQL Server User Group

Graphs (as in nodes and edges) are well known data structures which make representing complex real-world scenarios much easier. Using node and edge tables, MATCH predicates, and regular T-SQL skills, developers can implement powerful query patterns for both OLTP and some analytical scenarios, all operating on the same efficient and secure data store that Azure SQL provides. In this session we will examine some examples representing typical customer scenarios, and queries ranging from simple filters to complex analytical graph algorithms.

After the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 I began the work from home experience. It was a time of uncertainty in the world and I became the lab rat of working from home. It was the beginning of a trend that will eventually culminate in the norm during this 2020 pandemic.

I had to reinvent myself without a guide and eventually burned-out. My physical and mental health slowly deteriorated until I decided to learn more about the human body and the way energy is processed. I want to share my experience with others and help them reduce burnout and become highly productive.
