Well, I like my own blog, but I am probably biased...

Hi Adam,

Consider adding Louis' blog back in. He only crossposts the technical stuff, but I enjoy his less technical posts as well.

On the other hand, there are some blogs that were in the roller up until now that hardly ever have any SQL related content. You're probably going to ask me what they are, but I don't know. I often recognise them after clicking a link in the roller, but I don't take notes. If you wish, I'll post details when I stumble across them again (or maybe I should say IF I stumble across them again - maybe you already cleaned them out yourself....)

Best, Hugo

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I'll read through them and see which ones we should include.

A few comments on what we have so far: A) Please actually look at the roller BEFORE making a suggestion--I see a few blogs listed that we already have. B) English only, sorry. We're an English-language site and anyway I can't possibly rate the content on a blog I can't read.

You are missing my blog imho :-)

Adam Machanic — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 19:19:14 GMT

OK, I went through and added some of these blogs, as well as a couple of others I found on my own...

Glenn: I'd be happy to add you, but your general signal:noise ratio for SQL Server-oriented material is a bit too low. Can you create a separate feed for just your technical stuff (if you want to be rolled in to our roller) and send it my way?

Denis: thanks for all of the .NET blogs but I think they're too .NET and not enough data.

WesleyB: I will check out your blog next :)

Any more suggestions? There must be more good blogs out there!

WesleyB — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 18:20:56 GMT

Thanks.

I personally follow up on most of the MSDN blogs that are related to SQL Server.

I've got a few of them on my list on http://sqlug.be/blogs/wesleyb/default.aspx. I have more in my feed aggregator if you like.

Chad Boyd has a great Sql blog on MSDN...and he's becoming VERY well known in the DC Metro area (as I've heard from fellow DB-folks in the area) for his local work with Sql user groups, code camps, etc...his hits on Sql topics from developer, to admin, to everything in between, and he also gets things OS/system related that impact Sql (like his posting on 3gb/pae/awe which is great)

Ooops...link to his blog would probably help :-)...

Check out http://vadivel.blogspot.com

Its mostly filled with SQL content.

re: Help Improve Our Roller -- What are the Best SQL Server Blogs?

steve — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 01:30:03 GMT

My blog is filled with sql server content. I'm shocked, shocked that it's not mentioned:)

And I can assure readers that they will not find similar content anywhere else.

After all how many people talk about a relational database and actually 'show' one!

There are those that do not like to hear what I have to say about their favorite database. This is, of course, a childish reaction that cuts off debate instead of fostering it. I would think the profession needs more courage to confront issues and less blind

loyalty. We are actually all interested in the same thing, to further the profession of database/application development. Patience as a virtue is highly overrated:)

steve dassin — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:58:50 GMT

(Why should I hide?:) What a relational database is and what sql server isn't. Once you understand relational you will have even a better understanding of what sql server and sql is all about. It is absurd that database professionals know next to nothing about the so-called foundation of their profession.
