I had someone ask me about using triggers to detect changes in their tables. This is a second post looking at triggers, in this case, modifying my trigger to detect more changes and using that information.Another post for me that is simple and hopefully serves as an example for people trying to get blogging as #SQLNewBloggers.The SetupWe’re using the same table from the last post. This is the dbo.Customer table with a PK and 5 other fields.In this case we want to track the changes to an email and capture what those changes are. In other words, if I update…

Perforce Software CEO Jim Cassens dives into how the company’s overall approach to DevOps is evolving in the wake of a series of acquisitions.Cassens talks through the company’s recent spate of acquisitions and how thoughtful integration—not just portfolio expansion—is driving value for customers. He also highlights the growing role of synthetic data, AI-enhanced testing and how automation is shifting the responsibilities of development teams.A recurring theme is how generative AI is disrupting—not replacing—traditional developer roles. Cassens sees AI as a force multiplier, taking on repetitive, low-level tasks while freeing developers to focus on higher-order problems. But with that shift comes…
If you’ve ever plugged in a USB stick on a Linux machine and found that you can’t copy, delete, or modify files and that it’s mounted as read-only, you’re definitely not alone, as this is a common frustration for Linux users, whether you’re using Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, or any other distro. What makes it tricky is that this problem can happen for several different reasons: The USB drive might have a corrupted file system, especially if it was removed without being safely ejected. Sometimes, Linux will mount a drive as read-only to prevent further damage when it detects file system…
Datadog at its DASH 2025 conference today previewed a raft of artificial intelligence (AI) agents that automate tasks ranging from assessing infrastructure alerts that normally require the expertise of a site reliability engineer (SRE), to fixing code and triaging cybersecurity issues using the company’s security information event management (SIEM) platform.In addition, Datadog is also adding Proactive App Recommendations that analyze telemetry data to suggest the next best action and APM Investigator to identify and trouble shoot bottlenecks impacting application performance.At the same time, Datadog is adding data observability tools, along with extensions to its service for monitoring large language models…

Enterprise IT organizations increasingly explore innovative approaches such as vibe-coding, a practice that leverages AI-driven tools and large language models (LLMs) to prototype and develop software with minimal traditional coding rapidly. Vibe-coding prioritizes functionality, user experience and iteration speed over strict adherence to conventional software engineering methodologies. The timing is no coincidence. The surge in accessible, high-performance LLMs, alongside AI code assistants like GitHub Copilot and integrated APIs from OpenAI and Google, has lowered the barrier to entry for building intelligent applications. What once required full-stack developers can now be initiated by analysts, architects and subject matter experts. While vibe-coding initially promises…
