Yes, there is certainly an amazing pool of talent here.
I'd love to do some graphics, but other than importing into Excel or similar, its not my expertise.
SteemSQL is pretty expensive, but I'm and old dog and really did not want to learn Mongo, so 10 SDB it is.
So far I have not got it to work with SSMS. Just have not figured out the right connection strings, so I'm using a lightweight client for manual queries and a ADO driver within my IIS for automated queries. ODBC (ADO) is pretty much available within any MS-OS so it was pretty easy to get up and running in a hurry. I'm all for that!
Thanks for the great feedback as always!
