Database Questions from Zhengzhou, China

Brent Ozar is visiting Zhengzhou, China — Eve's hometown — and finds himself reflecting on AI and the future while watching locals do their morning exercises. He then turns to the top-voted questions submitted by listeners at pollgab.com/room/brento, covering topics ranging from large-scale integrity checks and tempdb bottlenecks to career advice for laid-off DBAs and how to leverage AI as a development DBA. It's a wide-ranging session that blends philosophical musing with practical, hands-on database guidance.
