Adam Machanic, Boston-based independent database consultant, writer, and speaker, shares his experiences with programming, performance tuning, and optimizing SQL Server 2000, 2005, and 2008, in conjunction with related technologies such as .NET.
I just want to wish everyone out there in the SQL Server community a happy, relaxing, and hopefully not at all productive holiday! I'm betting things will be pretty quiet here at SQLBlog over the next several days, but make sure to say with us--there's a lot more content in store for 2007!
In the meantime, make sure to check out the
Simple-Talk Cookbook, a collection of recipes from various members of the SQL Server community, including
Andy Kelly and me. There are some interesting recipes in there, and I certainly hope mine are up to snuff!
Again, have a great holiday season, and thank you all for a fantastic 2006!!
