As for me,
I've now been in IT for 12 years. I started
out as a Research Chemist and one summer I wrote some numerical
simulation routines in Fortran 77 for my boss that thankfully got me
out of the lab and away from some particularly tedious (and blimmin'
dangerous!) arsenic
experiments. After that I realised the error of my ways and, via a
chequered path, gradually switched
careers. Along the way I've used C, C++, VB and ASP and finally decided to specialise
as a SQL Server DBA, initially with version 6.5.
I'm currently consulting as a DBA for
central government until Aug 2008. |

If you have any
replication questions,
please post them in the
Microsoft Replication Newsgroup (msnews.microsoft.com,
microsoft.public.sqlserver.replication). I often look there and there are
also other repliers
(esp Hilary Cotter) who also have a great level of experience
in this area. However, please feel free to contact me
at Paul.Ibison@ReplicationAnswers.Com if
you have a solution/article I can add to this site
and they'll remain your property with just your name associated (ie I
won't rob it!). BTW I'm always on the lookout for any extra bits of
replication-related consultancy work (at very reasonable rates!). Generally
I contract at large multinationals, so it's refreshing to occasionally take
time off to do my replication work, even if it's a couple of hours
fixing SQL Server issues remotely or QAing a setup. So far I've done
replication consultancy for firms big and small eg:
 |
Pharmaceutical Retailer. Merge replication setup migrated onto
another server.
2 days. |
 |
Veterinary Software Supplier. Health check of existing merge
setup and some modifications made on identity range handling.
3 days. |
 |
Agricultural Retailer and Wholesaler. Conceptual design.
2 days. |
 |
Business Information and Magazine Publisher. Standardisation of
the merge publications for each magazine and general
problem-solving.
Several weeks. |
 |
Reinsurance Broker. Healthcheck.
1 day. |
 |
Medical Staffing / Recruitment. Troubleshooting of the data
migration strategy.
2 days. |
 |
Oil Exploration / Shipping. Design and implementation of merge
publication using filtering to all 12 vessels.
2 weeks. |

As BLOGs seem all the rage at the moment,
I'll shamelessly promote my own new one:
http://ssisblog.replicationanswers.com/. Nothing to do with Replication,
but last year for 9 months I worked in an investment bank converting
DTS packages to SSIS, so it's a series of SSIS-related "painful lessons learned". |
