MVP and author Brian Knight – according to his Pragmatic Works bio – is the co-founder of SQLServerCentral.com, JumpstartTV.com, and is on the Principal Board of Directors of PASS. But who is the man behind the cape? We sit down and discuss the 2012 end of the word with Brian Knight, and how we can profit. Other highlights:
-
He comes from the Dot Com….
-
On his home: "We grow rednecks."
-
Me: "What we need is a worldwide panic!"
-
On Coke: "I dig it."
-
Brian started Pragmatic Works essentially because he was bored.
-
Hah, at 6:50 in the video a phone starts buzzing, and I thought it was mine.
-
"Fun and controversial? That's us!"
-
Two words: "Custom pharmecuticals." Nono, it's a sample database, people….
-
We push our video interview with Itzik. We agree he's not a dumb guy, and have an awkward moment of silence.
-
We have very very fond words for Brian's latest book, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services Problem-Design-Solution
-
"I talked to Brian Knight, and he said you suck."
And that's just part 1 of 2. Go watch it, you know you want to.

For the record, Sean's wearing his "My database isn't small…" shirt, and I'm sporting the "My database can beat up your database" tee.
Thanx Mike 🙂
