Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

SQL for a beginner

Hi guys, I am interested in a career as a Database Admin and I am wondering where is a good place to start? I work full time so I will be studying in my own time. Would the Microsoft Database Fundimentals exam be a good place to start? Or is there maybe something I should study before this? Thanks

I assume going through the MS certs would be one approach. I would be interested to hear others opinions on it.
