About
Welcome to the SQL Server with Mr. Denny. I am Denny Cherry (mrdenny on the net) and I’ll be your guide on this page about Microsoft SQL Server (as well as a few other things).
I have been working in IT for about 15 years now, with the last 12 working on Microsoft SQL Server. I have worked at small shops with just a few SQL Servers to large shops running hundreds of SQL Servers with over half a billion transactions per second through out the farm. This experience with such large databases give me a fairly unique understanding of how SQL Server works under such a high load.
Currently I hold the position of Senior Database Administrator with Phreesia. This gives me the opportunity to not only guide the design of the databases during the development phase of the projects but also to support the product once it is in production not only at our facility but also within our enterprise customers data centers.
While I do consider myself knowledgeable about SQL Server I am always learning more about SQL Server. In the last few releases the SQL Server product has grown dramatically which has drastically increased the learning curve for newcomers. Through this blog I hope to share the information which I have learned and employee in my daily work in the hopes of saving others some of the same headaches which I have had to deal with in the past.
You can find some of my writings posted on SearchSQLServer.com where in addition to posting tips and articles I also answer questions as a site expert. In addition you can find me over on Tek-Tips and the IT Knowledge Exchange as well as a few other haunts.
