Kerry HataleyFounder · "that SQL Guy"
Kerry Hataley has been working with SQL and database systems since 1981 — from Btrieve, C-tree, and IBM Db2 (System R) through dBase, FoxBase, FoxPro, Sybase, and Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server. His Dynamics GP story starts in 1994 — back when the product was still Great Plains Accounting, and Kerry ran it on a Macintosh with C-tree databases. He's been a GP professional and developer ever since, most prominent within the ISV and Partner community, where he's affectionately known as "that SQL Guy."
Through Nanook Software, Kerry applies unique, out-of-the-box techniques to create innovative, seamless integrations into the Dynamics GP ecosystem from virtually any data source — developing in Dexterity, .NET, and SQL, to name a few.

Tech made clear… for everyone
Kerry’s companion site Code Whisperer translates IT-speak and jargon into plain language for the accidental IT person. For Dynamics GP customers it’s growing into a deep library of practical reference material — how-tos, SQL scripts, and field-tested guidance for keeping your GP system strong.
