A Fine Slice Of SQL Server
Russ Hyde has some new release notes:
It’s October, so that means a new stable release of Python has arrived. Here we will review some of the changes introduced in Python 3.15.
Prominent changes in Python 3.15 that we will cover:
- profiling & statistical sampling
- lazy imports
- unpacking * in for comprehensions
Click through to learn more about what’s out. Though I will say that I’m mostly on 3.13 and sometimes 3.14 because it can take a while for package makers to catch up.

Article 3 covered the headline settings almost every tenant touches first, but the full tenant settings screen runs past 30 categories, from information protection to advanced networking. You won’t master all of it on day one, but knowing what’s there keeps you from being caught flat-footed later. Skim the full list once, even if you’re not ready to configure most of it, just so nothing surprises you when a business unit asks for a capability you didn’t know existed.

First, be aware that there are no reservations (reserve plans soon) available. Second, pricing to use items will differ from the regular capacities. Some items may have the same price; others will be calculated at x2 or x3. We have to wait for the official documentation to find out what the actual prices will be.
Right now, we don’t know what the cost will look like, though once the documentation is available, we should have a better idea. Assuming it’s not in some inscrutable units.

For years the Postgres community was against adding support for hints. They felt if you had correctly analyzed tables, the Postgres query planner would make the right choice. And they’re not wrong, for the most part. Yet many DBAs and developers will tell you of a time when a plan suddenly changed or something was saved by a hint. We can debate the good and bad elements of hints, but the cool thing is that you will soon have a choice in Postgres 19+.
Read on to see how plan hints will work and what you should try before using them.
