This past Saturday I presented my shiny new Introduction to SQL Server Partitioning session at SQL Saturday 61.

There were two separate sessions scheduled for partitioning that day, but the room was still full– thanks everyone for coming to learn about how, why, and when you might use this feature.

Slides, Links and Scripts

My slide deck, Introduction to SQL Server Partitioning, is available for download.

Links to all sorts of resources about partitioning and my simple partitioning demo script are available here:

Whose Doll is That?

My partitioning slide deck features a lovely assistant who is sawed into partitions, and also offers pieces of advice.

This little beauty was found on Flickr and is the fine work of Lara604.
