With all of the talk about MS not caring about DBAs lately (and I'm still getting emails about it), it also seems as though MS has taken notice. They've contacted me and want to discuss our different views on how well they like DBAs. We're actually not able to hook up until next week sometime, but when we finally do, I'll be pretty anxious to report to you how it goes. What I'm expecting from the conversation is some detail on where we've been with DBA tools, where we are now, and where they plan to take us. I know a lot of you are looking forward to hearing their response as well, and I'll let you know when I have something.
Here are the blogs I've written on the topic:
