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.
This has been a truly intense week at the PASS Summit, as evinced by the multitude of blog posts on the topic here on SQLblog and elsewhere. My breakout session on Tuesday was entitled "What Happened?" and those of you who attended may be asking that question of me at this point. It's now Thursday and I promised that demo scripts would be posted on Wednesday.
So without further ado, here they are. Enjoy!
By the way, if you weren't there, the session was recorded, as was my five-minute Lightning Talk on the worst error in SQL Server, and as will be tomorrow's post-conference seminar on parallelism. You will be able to purchase DVDs with all of this material from PASS sometime in the coming months.
