Tag for Ola Hallengren's scripts?

The forum needs a tag for Windows 2019 Server!

Tag suggestion: mtime-row

There are a number of tags in DBA.SE that I don't fully understand, but which are related either to one or the other RDBMS, as they are part of that specific RDBMS or are common DBA l33t 5p3@k. ...

PostgreSQL RULE tag?

I doubt we have that many questions on it, but I don't see what damage that tag does. Normally you should be using triggers instead. If you want to add that tag, I say go for it. I don't think it ...
