Really engaging and informational talk. No complaints from me

Just enough depth to make you interested so you go and look yourself. I'm going to go and look for our redundant indexes on Monday.
When it comes to databases, you need a VERY good speaker to make the subject come to life, and this subject was our very good speaker.

Mr Shone really shines when talking about a typically droll subject. His enthusiasm and knowledge really had me engaged and in my opinion is quickly going to become a pioneer of database static analysis with his work on his Cadfael tool.

Thank you Thomas!
