September Competition time - win a Spa day to relax

Life as a database professional can be stressful, especially if disasters happen. Anything from accidentally deleted data, to hard drives that fail, to misconfigured servers that cause deployments to fail, if this has happened to you (you wouldn’t be alone) then you’re probably in need of an opportunity to de-stress and relax.

You’re in luck, Redgate are offering you the chance to win a free spa day to help you properly unwind and get the relaxation you deserve (you'll also be able to take someone else along with you, if you wish).

All you need to do is tell us, in less than 20 words, what's the single most important thing you've learned as a data professional in 2017 so far.

Share what you’ve learnt with the Redgate community by posting your answer below by clicking "Post Comment"

This competition will close at midnight on September 29. We'll then review all the comments, and on October 6 we'll award the forum member who contributed the best comment (telling us what they've learnt as a data professional in 2017, in 20 words or less) the grand prize of a Spa Day. We also have a $50 Amazon Voucher for a runner up whose comment is good, but not the best!

    No matter how smart I think I am, there is always something new to learn...
    Sometimes painfully.

    It is easier to learn new things than I thought. And it’s important that I keep doing it.

    SQL Monitoring has helped us prove to the vendor that the SQL deadlocks are ALL THIERS!

    Stable and easily adaptable solutions occur in highly predictable environments. Predictability comes from consistency, a by-product of standardisation and automation.
