When you start a new job, even if you are an expert with lots of experience in the domain in which you new employer work, you have to learn. Sometimes the learning curve is small, sometimes long – in any case there is always a learning curve. In a healthy environment, there is bi-directional learning process. You will learn your new job, but you will also teach your experiences to your co-workers and employer. Everyone has something to give back. The same aspect can be also considered for an analyst who’s task is to gather requirements from a new client. The learning experience is also two-way, since users do also learn, or will learn, from the analyst. [1]

Developing software solutions is no easy task. It involves that the developer must understand the problem, know the technology and implement a solution – in the shortest time possible, possibly written with the latest technologies and methodologies and with the least amount of bugs and implemented in a user friendly way, if possible requiring less training and documentation. So, here comes the analyst.
Arthur C. Clarke – Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Just a small note! Yesterday, the world lost a visionary writer who predicted our lifestyle in the future.

Arthur C Clarke will be with us for a long long time because he did both!
SQL Change owner of objects
Shrink logs of SQL database
SQL databases consist of the data part and the log part. The log part may become exceedingly large and from time to time may be required to be shrinked
BACKUP LOG database_name WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY GO DBCC SHRINKDATABASE( database_name ) GO
Unfortunately Windows event log lists and error that the log has been ‘shrinked’. Obviously you do not need to worry (except if you needed those logs!) since you know that you did that action and for what!
