Like many of you, over the last couple of years, I’ve been using AI, or, well, let’s just name it appropriately, Large Language Models (LLM), as a part of my job. I’ve also used it in my hobby. With it, I’ve generated snippets of code, tested data conversions, even built a small database for a presentation. However, to date, I haven’t tried doing everything through the LLM. Now, I’m going to.

Redgate Monitor now surfaces two common SQL Server query issues that usually take manual work to uncover: cancelled or aborted queries and high memory-grant queries. You can now see both in the Query Executions view for each SQL Server instance, directly alongside server activity and alerts, so you can diagnose the cause much faster. Recently, Redgate Monitor introduced the Query Executions feature for SQL Server instances, using Extended Events to capture execution details for individual queries.

Do you like working with time in your code? If yes, you’re likely one of the lucky ones who are blissfully unaware of how deep the rabbit hole goes. If you don’t like it, I have good news for you! Postgres can make working with time more enjoyable! The newly released temporal constraints let you easily maintain referential integrity across temporal relationships.
