A little party never killed nobody! 💃 🇪🇸 We moved into our new office a few months ago, but we hadn’t officially celebrated. Until last week.🤩 With some serious decorating skills from Lai Wah HO, Nadia S., Sofie Van Cotthem, Samantha Brugmans, and Jelle Van Ginderen, the office got a big Spanish makeover. After a quick speech, it was time for the quiz, where our natural-born quizmasters, Jelle and Samantha, kept everyone entertained. 🧠 Soon after, the delicious paella was ready. To say it with Samantha's words: this dish is the perfect blend of fish, meat, and chicken, just like our partnership with Exitas. 😋 The evening ended with an exciting surprise: two Spanish dancers took over the dance floor and got the whole team dancing! 💃 #HouseWarming #SpanishNight #Team

We’re still thinking about our teambuilding! Not only because the weather was much nicer then, but also because we had fun! ☀ Here's what we did: 🥗 We started the day with a tasty lunch at PUURR in Bruinisse to fuel for the fun that followed. 🏹 After lunch, we headed outdoors with MORE Outdoors to take on the Robinson trials! Archery, water transfer, and more. Let’s just say it got competitive. We then made our way to our hotel to relax and freshen up. A drink on the terrace with everyone was just what we needed before heading to Bistro West for dinner. Most of us couldn’t resist the rib eye, and it was delicious! 🥩 It was a perfect day spent with an incredible team. Looking forward to the next one! 🌟 #Team #TeamBuilding

Remember when we talked about our commitment to personalised training and continuous learning for every team member? 🧠 Let’s highlight Ferre Van Hoof as a perfect example! 👇 Ferre, one of the youngest talents on our team, has ambition that knows no limits! As a junior DBA, he’s sharpening his skills in Microsoft SQL while also exploring the world of Data Visualisation. Right now, he’s working towards his Power BI certification to take his expertise to the next level. Just last week, Ferre attended dataMinds.be together with Peter Kruis. During this two-day event, he soaked up insights from some of the best in the industry. We asked him which sessions stood out the most: 1️⃣ "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘘𝘓 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘴.

Ferre also shared some advice for fellow DBAs 💡 "𝘐 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘘𝘓 𝘋𝘉𝘈𝘴! 𝘐𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩.

Keep going, Ferre! #SQL #DataVisualisation #DataMinds

All good things come in threes, right? During the summer, we welcomed three amazing new team members and it’s time to give them their moment of fame on our page.✨ First up, Firas Nohra! You might remember him from his internship last year. This hobby chef loved our vibe so much that he decided to stick around! 👨🍳 After just a few weeks, he says, “𝘔𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐’𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘦!” Next, say hello to Christophe Platteeuw! With over 25 years of experience, Christophe is a tech wizard! He’s done it all: from selling computers to building websites. Recently focused on databases, he found his groove with our team. 🙌 He adds, “𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴. 𝘐’𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯!” And finally, meet Sofie Van Cotthem! This travel enthusiast is all about adventure! She joined our team because our focus on customer value resonates with her. 👥 After her first few weeks, she shares, “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵! 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦.” We’re just as excited as they are to have them on board! #Team #Welcome #DatabaseManagement

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬-𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬 🛠️ Just a quick tip we'd like to share: if you're operating in Always-on mode, remember to pause data movement and consider switching your failover mode to Manual to prevent unplanned failovers. 💡 Make sure that no client apps or SQL Server Agent transactions are running during the patching process. This also means stopping backups, index rebuilds, and other operations to avoid disruptions. For a detailed guide on patching SQL Server, check out our whitepaper 👉https://lnkd.in/e7Ti67FV Need expert help with patching?

Recently, Robert Pastijn, an expert from Oracle, joined us to share insights on Oracle 23ai—their latest release that’s set to redefine database management with powerful AI-driven features. In our blog, we break down what makes Oracle 23ai a game-changer for developers and DBAs alike. By integrating relational, vector, document (JSON), and graph data models into one unified platform, 23ai simplifies data management and equips businesses to meet modern development demands more efficiently.
