T-SQL Tuesday was <a href=\"http:\/\/sqlblog.com\/blogs\/adam_machanic\/archive\/2009\/11\/30\/invitation-to-participate-in-t-sql-tuesday-001-date-time-tricks.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">introduced<\/a> by Adam Machanic (<a title=\"Adam Machanic's Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/sqlblog.com\/blogs\/adam_machanic\/\" target=\"_blank\">B<\/a>|<a title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/adammachanic\" target=\"_blank\">T<\/a>) almost five years ago in December 2009.\n<\/p>\n<h3> The Invite: Write About Passwords<\/h3>\n<p>\nThis time the T-SQL Tuesday topic is: Passwords. Anything that you can think of, that has to do with or is related to passwords is a welcome topic. To give you a few ideas about what you could write, I compiled a short list of possible topics:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sqlity.net\/en\/2361\/good-passwords\/\" target=\"ideas\">How do you pick a good password?<\/a><\/li>\n<li>How do you remember all your passwords?<\/li>\n<li>Tell a password story or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkcomputing.com\/cartoon-daily-drill\/d\/d-id\/1234811?image_number=1\" target=\"ideas\">draw a cartoon<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@manicho\/how-a-password-changed-my-life-7af5d5f28038\" target=\"ideas\">Did a password once change your life?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThose topics are not really SQL Server related, so you might argue that they do not fit a T-SQL Tuesday. I think that they still would make valuable posts, but in case, you want to play it \"closer to home\", here are a few more ideas:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do you manage all the SA and application passwords in your organization?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sqlity.net\/en\/2460\/sql-password-hash\/\" target=\"ideas\">How do you or should you store passwords in your database?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sqlity.net\/en\/2455\/pwdcompare\/\" target=\"ideas\">How do you enforce password hygiene for SQL Logins in your environment?<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Did you once write an application (or procedure) that made use of the password hashes in <a href=\"http:\/\/sqlity.net\/en\/2327\/sys-sql_logins\/\" target=\"ideas\">sys.sql_logins<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nAnd, if you still think that \"passwords\" is not a fitting topic for T-SQL Tuesday, write about why you think so.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHope to see you (or at least your post) next week at the party.\n<\/p>\n<h3> The Rules<\/h3>\n<p>\nThere are a few rules and regulations that you should follow while attending this party so that nobody feels left out or mistreated.\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your post must go live between 00:00:00 GMT on Tuesday the 9th of September and 00:00:00 GMT on Wednesday the 10th.<\/li>\n<li>Your post has to link back to the hosting blog post (<a href=\"http:\/\/sqlity.net\/en\/2559\/tsql2sday-58-invite\/\">this one<\/a>), and the link must be anchored from the T-SQL Tuesday LOGO (found above) which must also appear at the top of the post.<\/li>\n<li>Trackbacks should work. However, it is safer to tweet about your post and include my Twitter handle (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sqlity\" target=\"twitter\">@sqlity<\/a>) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=tsql2sday&src=typd\" target=\"twitter\">#tsql2sday<\/a> hashtag.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T-SQL Tuesday was invented almost 5 years ago by Adam Machanic.
