From: Yafuso, Lori Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2018YOU have been a great asset to our team and it is your personality and humble nature that makes all of us so comfortable working together. We have had contractors on the DBA team before, but never with the synergy and positive energy that you bring with you. I believe you have had the greatest influence in our success and glad that we selected the right contractor. You have definitely made your mark here at HECO and have set the bar very high for future contractors! Thank you for being you…keep doing what you do…keep that good karma flowing!**********From: Nakasone, SeanSent: Monday, March 18, 2019Cc: Sasaki, Greg; Yafuso, LoriLast year, there were many occasions when I had to submit sql scripts with 100K update statements, and it would just hang for a long time.Scott Goold did a screen share and explained to me I don't necessarily have to submit the job in chunks. I can just wait, and sql server will eventually finish. He showed me how to use the monitoring tools and he showed me that the process does periodically go in and out of a suspended state, perhaps to wait for resources to get freed up, but eventually it will finish. He also explained that killing the process is probably not a good idea as that might make it worse. Anyway, I just kept asking more and more questions and he patiently answered everything until everything was clear to me.So I put this to the test, I submitted 38K records and it completed in about 4-1/2 hours. Long, but the point is that sql server can handle large jobs.I appreciated Scott Goold's technical knowledge and communication skills and it will make a difference going forward.**********I just wanted to drop a note to say how much I appreciated Scott’s help with a current project we’re in the middle of. He was only supposed to be Greg’s backup but since Greg was out for the day I asked him a simple question to which he took time and care in giving me a complete picture of not only answering my question, but also performing the work that I was going to wait until when Greg got back to perform. He then took it even further when Greg got back as he helped us during the days of the preparation and took ownership on the issues we were facing and provided expert knowledge in overcoming the issues. I really enjoyed working with Scott as he was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful all throughout the engagement. I am impressed that you have such an outstanding individual as a part of your team. Thanks,LANCEIT Program Manager
