T-SQL Tuesday Topics
I was asked to host a T-SQL Tuesday, and I accepted.
Once again, my fingers move a bit faster than my brain. “Sure, be happy to host one. Send me a date” flew out of my fingers before I thought through the implications. I’m happy to help the community, and I think Adam Machanic (Blog|Twitter) had a fantastic idea with the T-SQL Tuesday blog party, and I look forward to them every month.
But I’m busy, and this is a very busy time of year for the next month, with the hope that most of December will be quiet for me. It’s been a crazy year for me and I’m looking to try and better manage life next year.
Adam immediately responded to my email with a date, and I have December. I was thinking he’s a busy guy, and my mail might get lost in the shuffle. However it didn’t and I ended up with not only an acceptance, but a date that’s not too far in the future.
So I need a topic.
There are any number of topics out there, and after all, T-SQL Tuesday has only been around for a year. However I was somewhat stumped as to what a “good topic” will be. After all, I want this to be a good one.
The ones I’ve seen so far are:
- T-SQL Tuesday #001: Date/Time Tricks
- T-SQL Tuesday #002: A Puzzling Situation
- T-SQL Tuesday #003: Relationships
- T-SQL Tuesday #004: IO
- T-SQL Tuesday #005- Reporting
- T-SQL Tuesday #006: “What About BLOB?”
- T-SQL Tuesday #007: Summertime in the SQL
- T-SQL Tuesday #008: Gettin’ Schooled
- T-SQL Tuesday #009: Beach Time
- T-SQL Tuesday #010 – Indexes
- T-SQL Tuesday #011: Misconceptions
- T-SQL Tuesday #012 – Why are DBA skills necessary?
I’ve got a few ideas, and some work ahead of me to develop something in the next month around SQL Connections, SQL Saturday #59 and a week of family vacation. If you have any ideas of your own, don’t post them. Save them for your own T-SQL Tuesday and contact Adam to host one.
I’m not sure what will happen in November, and I’ll be jammed up with a post since I’ll be at Connections next week, so whether it’s the first Tuesday or second, I’ll be hustling a bit to participate.

I was on the fence when I did Indexes. I was wondering whether to go technical or not and I chose something technical and I'm so glad I did.I did a graph of t-sql tuesdays based on participant count. And I found that the turn-out really seems to be based on topic (with #4: IO in the clear lead).They also seem to be popular when a topic is relevant to Database Administrators and Database Developers.I also want to thank you for responding to my invite a couple months ago. I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled for your turn.
You are welcome, and I'll likely drop mine right after Thanksgiving so you have some time to think about it
