SQL Server Consultant and Exceptional DBA Awards 2011 Finalist with extensive experience in the financial, health and retail sectors. I’m extremely strong in all areas of SQL Server and specialise in Security but really get my kicks from System Optimisation and Performance Tuning. Being a DBA is a thankless task at times but sadly I do enjoy it. Any spare time I have (when not playing rugby, football, cricket, in the gym or spending time with the family) I’m trying to help out others via social network sites such as the #sqlhelp hastag on Twitter (follow me @billysassage),www.sqlservercentral.com (ChrisTaylor) or by attending and contributing to the UK SQL User Groups (www.sqlserverfaq.com) held in Manchester and Leeds.
