## Resource

This week's show is with "definitely not a folk music artist" Erik (with a k) Darling from Darling Data. Erik weaves a tale of a decidedly non-data focused start to his career, solving the same problems over and over, spicy foods, family life, all while dropping some great names along the way. https://sqlsaturday.com/2025-05-10-sqlsaturday1105/ X: @erikdarlingdata YouTube : ErikDarlingData Web: ErikDarling.com LinkedIn: darling-data TikTok: @darling.data Redgate's 2025 State of the Database Landscape report: https://www.red-gate.com/solutions/state-of-database-landscape/2025/ For more Simple Talks episodes, visit https://rd.gt/3TJocZ9
