Microsoft: Amazing Quote about Support

August 12, 2021

I read “El Reg talks to Azure Data veep as Microsoft flicks the switch on Azure Arc for SQL Managed Instances: Longevity, PostgreSQL, and the Default Relational Database of Choice.” I like the phrase “default relational database of choice.” Okay, confidence can be a positive.

Most of the interview is not-so-surprising stuff: End-of-life assurances, hits of a catholic approach to the Codd structure, and a general indifference to the Amazon database initiatives. That’s okay. The expert is Rohan Kumar, who is going to speak Redmond, a peculiar dialect of jargon which often reveals little relevant to the ordinary person trying to restore a trashed SQL Server table.

I did spot one tiny comment. Here is this remarkable assertion:

“We will never let any of our customers run into challenges because Microsoft decided, ‘hey, we’re not going to support you’.”

No kidding? For real? I mean none of the code blocking, security challenging stuff?
