What Would You Like To Know About Database Professionals?
We’re getting ready to release our annual survey for database professionals in the next few weeks. We’ll be asking some typical, and some not-so-typical questions to get a feel for what everyone is doing and what you’re all concerned about.
My question to you is – what would YOU like to know on a broad-basis – about what’s happening with database professionals? We’ll pull together questions and take some of the really interesting ones and include them in the survey. We’ll be publishing the overall (generic, non-identifiable) results to SSWUG and I’d like to include several "insightful" questions that would help us define this profession and things we think about these days on a daily basis.
So, drop me a note – let me know what burning question do you have that you’d like to see asked and answered? There will be a prize for the submitter of each question we end up using, so send them in. Please be certain the subject line is "Survey Question" so we can track them.
