My first SQL Saturday Presentation
I will be speaking at SQL Saturday #166 in Olympia, WA on November 10. I will be doing my beginner talk on Indexes and Query plans. I am looking forward to it as my first presentation outside of Canada.
SQL Saturdays are free one-day events held all over the world and are part of the great offerings of the Professional Association for SQL Server (www.sqlpass.org). Take a look at the SQL Saturday website (www.sqlsaturday.com) for an event near you and try to make it out to Olympia next Saturday.
I hope to see a familiar face or two!

SQL Server 2012 Launch
Hey everybody – the next version of SQL server is going to be available on April 1. Despite being April fool’s day, this release is no joke. With features like AlwaysOn Availability groups and Columnstore indexes, this is a major release. My favourite new thing is the enhancements to intellisense, but I can be strange that way…
There is a whole lot to get up to speed on for this release, and an excellent, fun and potentially rewarding way to do that would be to register for and log into the SQL Server 2012 launch event – it kicks off with live keynotes tomorrow (Wednesday, March 7). Learn stuff, ask live experts questions and win prizes.
Enjoy!
