I’ve been so busy with all of my other projects at work that I’ve forgotten to really tout this. On May 30, I’ll be presenting at the Birmingham SQLSaturday (hosted by the Steel City SQL User Group). My talk is titled “Confessions of a Data integrator”, and will focus on dealing with other people’s database designs.
Over the last twelve years, I’ve built a career on pulling data from a variety of data sources, most of them which were poorly designed (according to the basic rules of normalization). From that experience, I’ve pulled together a set of principles for extracting data which I plan to share. This is a bit of challenge for me, because I’ve never actually written any of these rules of mine down 🙂
Anyway, if you can make it, please do; stop by and see me.
