("Thom A" on some sites, "Larnu" on others.)

Database Administrator for a group of Insurance Brokers in England.

SQL Server enthusiast, however, little to no experience with other RDBMSs. Linux user at home (Arch and Ubuntu based), suffer Windows at work. I have basic Python knowledge and enjoy to dabble in PoSH and Bash. I can read C#, it is a .Net language after all, but I'm hopeless at writing it; for some reason it's always escaped my grasp. I can't even blame it on the compulsory semi-colons as (one day) they'll be compulsory in T-SQL too (bring it on SQL Server 2037!).

You can find articles I've written on my website, as well on SQL Server Central. A favourite subject of mine is dynamic SQL, along with making sure that you are safe (from injection) when using it, and SQL Server on Linux.
