11月26日 Moving the Blog!Well, I finally decided to take the plunge and host my own blog server. This means that I am moving this blog to a new home. I'll leave the stuff that is here, but all new posts will be at the new location: http://portal.sqltrainer.com
Hope to see you all at the new site.
11月19日 "Data Dude" Goes liveCameron Skinner (Product Unit Manager for Visual Studio Team System for Database Developers) announced at PASS that the "Data Dude" product will be live on November 30. Personally I think it's ready now, but there are apparently a couple of things that they want to bake into the final release. VSTSDD is a fantastic product, and frankly I see it as a must-have for any serious database development team. I got an honorable mention in Camerons blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/camerons/archive/2006/11/16/nov-30th-is-the-date.aspx
11月15日 PASS Day 1Today was the first offical day of the PASS conference. The keynote session by Paul Flessner was pretty good, but for the most part, there was no real earth-shattering information there. I did sit through a couple of sessions, BI200M which was a good overview session on Data Mining in Excel, and then AD311M, which was a great overview of the Visual Studio Team System for Database Developers..
Turns out that much of the content I've created for my presentation is very much of interest to the VSTSDD guys, so we'll see how many of them show up to my session tomorrow... Tonight is the big party at the "Experience", which is Paul Allens hobby..
Overall this seems to be a much larger conference than past years, and people seem genuinely excited. 11月13日 The PASS summit beginsWell, I made it here to Seattle. (What a long flight from home, COS to Dallas, then back to Seattle...I left my house at 4am Mountain and got to the hotel at 2PM Pacific)
Anyway, the conference starts for me with a meeting today to discuss Microsoft Learning and how things seem to have gone downhill recently. The perception from MSL is that things are not going bad, so we'll just see how it all turns out. I've promised some people to post a synopsis of what happens during the meeting, so stay tuned...
10月3日 Where in the world have I been?I found this cool website that allows you to specify the countries that you have travelled to. I updated my map with all of the countries I have been, and was dismayed to see that I have been to less than 20% of the countries in the world...
create your own visited countries map or vertaling Duits Nederlands 7月18日 Normalized Data is for Wimps!Ok, I took a bit of liberty with the title...... I found this blog entry today as I was doing a bit of research on denormalization techniques for an article I'm writing. I found this to be humourous!
7月5日 Scaling out Database SystemsI've been spending some time lately (in between traveling and playing architect dude for our AD module) researching issues around scaling database systems. I've come across a couple of really impressive articles from the SQL team on MSDN on this subject. It's nice to see some of the quality coming out of the SQL team lately, good job guys!
Here is an article on scalability with SQL 2005: http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/learnmore/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/ScalOutSQL.asp
And here is an article that gets to the heart of the matter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/dataoutsideinside.asp
SQL Everywhere EditionThere is a new "edition" of SQL Server that is nearing the release stage, which just might be the missing link in the whole SQL Server story. SQL Server Everywhere is essentially a port of the embedded SQLCE but setup as a desktop/mobile platform.
The team has just started a new blog, located here: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlservereverywhere/default.aspx
7月3日 TempDB IO RequirementsI came across this article today in some stuff I was reading.. Not a bad KB/Q/Whatever...
Basically it talks about TempDB needing to be as fast and efficient as possible. This is especially true if you're using SQL Server for ECM... 6月25日 Travel and MSN mobileI'm sitting in Denver (DIA) waiting for my flight to New York (via DFW which makes no sense) and I'm realizing that the guys at MS have really got this mobile connectivity stuff down (Don't worry, this is not another "I love my Q" entry, although it could be.. I am writing this on the Q)..
AA.com has sent me the flight status update already, so I know the gate that I am arriving in Dallas and the gate my connection will use.. I've checked my mail at the office and responded to an issue I needed to, checked my Gmail account, noted that a good friend had updated his blog, read the blog *and* am writing this.. All without firing up my laptop or paying WiFi access fees.. Very cool if you ask me...
I don't know if it's the geek in me that thinks this is so cool, or if we really are at that point where connectivity is just pervasive.....
