  • StreamInsight talk coming up at SQLBits

    My talk on StreamInsight is up next. I’ll try to blog more about that later. For now, I want to mention more about SQLBits itself. This is by far the largest SQL-only conference I’ve attended (I haven’t been to SQL-PASS yet), and it’s great to be involved. Yesterday I had an all-day seminar about the...

  • More SQL Conferences coming up, including SQL Bits and SQL Down Under

    I know I won’t be there, as I’m a million miles away in Australia, but being from the UK myself, I always have an interest in the UK SQL community and in particular, events like SQL Bits. This is the fifth SQL Bits conference , and they keep getting larger and larger. I’ve heard it’s now the largest...

  • Things You Know Now

    This blog meme is doing the rounds… I’ve been tagged at least twice now ( Jason Strate and Greg Linwood ), so I suppose subconsciously I’ve been thinking about this stuff for a few weeks already. Since I do a lot of training, I tend to explain these things to my students anyway. I...

  • A reason to visit Manchester

    I shouldn’t knock Manchester – I’m sure it’s a great place. Being from the London area though, I’ve always had to find reasons to consider visiting Manchester. Now that I’m living in Australia, finding reasons to go is even harder. Manchester’s stock has risen recently, joining the ranks of Reading,...

  • Jamie’s SQLMesh

    Jamie Thomson is a useful guy. He’s a SQL MVP, generally considered one of the world’s authorities in Integration Services (SSIS), but also very keen on the Live space . So it makes sense that he’s now combining the two – he’s gone and created a Code Repository on Live Mesh. Seems very useful, and I...

  • Presenting at ADNUG this week

    I haven't been to ADNUG for a while. I love that the group is there, but over the past year or more, I haven't prioritised getting to the meetings. I've been to meetings of equivalent groups in Melbourne and Sydney, but not to the Adelaide .Net Group for a while. But this week I will! I've...

    I've given this presentation a couple of times at user-groups now - last week in Adelaide, and this week in Melbourne. I posted the scripts to my blog recently, making them available to people who heard this talk at TechEd Australia at the start of the month, so now I've got around to uploading...

  • SQL and Virtual Earth

    A while back I was talking to Bronwen Zande, of Brisbane-based SoulSolutions and GeekGirlBlogs . Anyway, she and her partner John are big fans of Virtual Earth . As it's well publicised that SQL Server 2008 will have new spatial types , including fancy ways of integrating with Virtual Earth, I asked...

  • SQL Down Under talks, and England wins

    This weekend is getting better and better. With England winning in both the football and the rugby , my mood is pretty good anyway - despite having to give the first presentation of Sunday morning at the SQL Down Under Code Camp . The local TV channel sent cameras just after I finished, so I think I...

  • User Group meeting with Christine Bishop

    Yesterday we had Christine Bishop come to Adelaide . She's the Product Marketing Manager for SQL Server and BI for Microsoft Australia. That makes her handy to know if you're in the SQL space, and we had a nice crowd come along to the user group to meet her. One thing that made this meeting different...

  • Free SQL training at events in the UK and Australia

    ...and I'm not even referring to the User Groups which run regularly. The ones I'm referring to are SQLBits and the SQL Down Under Code Camp . SQLBits was in the UK last weekend, and was a massive success. I would've loved to have been able to attend, but it's a bit far to travel (I guess...

  • PASS one day

    This is not a review of day one of the PASS conference. It's a hope that one day I'll be able to make it to a big PASS conference. PASS is the Professional Association for SQL Server , and every year they have a large conference. This year's has been in Denver this week, and many of my SQL...

  • My favourite thing about SQL Server 2008

    A few people have asked me what my favourite thing is in SQL Server 2008 ("Katmai"). But my favourite thing isn't actually a feature at all, it's a mindset that Microsoft are taking with it. This mindset is "We will only put features into the CTPs once they are basically complete...

He did the 5-day course 2780 - Maintaining a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database . During the course, I encouraged the students to sit the exam 70-431 , which the...
