We are back from Vancouver.

We are back from Vancouver. Our flight was good. Only 2.5 hours flying time. The training at Pivotal was intense. Feel confidant that I can successfully modify our installation now. The foundation of the Pivotal product is Microsoft SQL Server. Since I have lots of experience with SQL Server, even certified in both Administration and Design, I figured this couldn’t be too difficult. Wrong! The less one knows about SQL the better. This product uses screens to do everything and none resemble writing traditional SQL code. Once you get your mind past that, things start to work.

The weather in Vancouver was a gray overcast and rain every day. The sun did peek out for a very short time Friday afternoon. Never did get a chance to see much of the city. Did manage to find a good bookstore and see some of the underground mall. Everything is very expensive. The exchange rate helps. I do like what I saw and look forward to my next visit. Hopefully next time it will be in the summer months.
