#PASS Board of Director Candidates - Part 2 : Challenge

Earlier today I posted a summary of the candidates, and how they have affected my life. This was meant to be taken lightly and with a bit of tongue and cheek. I had fun writing it, and trying to pin down the details of their interactions with me. We still don't know what they all believe or want. Some have posted on their own blogs info about themselves and their hopes and aspirations for the board.

Here are some of the responses.

Andy Warren

Douglas McDowell

Louis Davidson

Lynda Rab

Pat Wright

Thomas LaRock

Another PASS member, Brent Ozar, suggested that we question these candidate more specifically to determine their positions on critical issues facing our nation - the DBA Nation.

So, this is a call to each candidate to post their positions

CLR in the database

Triggers

Autoshrink

Autogrow

Backup and Restore best practices

Excel sprawl in the BI realm

SQL Server Cloud and the future of the DBA

Social Networking and the DBA

Cursors, are they truly evil?

Powershell

SQL Community

and last but not least, I challenge each to answer Chris Shaw's SQL Quiz challenge

And if others want to add items to this list, please add them to the comments.

Pat Wright responded here. And i have to say he took the challenge, rose above it, and still noted his position on issues that affect us as PASS members, mainly community. I like the response. Thanks Pat.

Lous Davidson resonded here. I love this response. He too the challenge to answer the silly questions, but dug deep on the important ones. Way to go!!
