don't be good at everything but become the best in your domain. And our domain is MS SQL Server

DCOD was founded in April 2005, my name is Geert Vanhove. As managing consultant, and until now only employee, of DCOD, let me introduce myself,

I started my career in IT in 1991 as COBOL programmer on a mainframe system. In 1994 I chose to focus on databases, first on Sybase, later (1998) -almost- fulltime on Microsoft SQL Server. I was fortunate to be part of some of the most important SQL Server projects in Belgium - as well in a development as in an operational context.

I have a fair share of Microsoft exams behind me; a couple of acronyms after my name are MCDBA, MCSD and MCSE.
