This is a quick post to announce the winner of my blog giveaway for a free conference pass to SQL Server Live! in Las Vegas.

Those rather nice folks at SQL Server Live are also offering SQL Brit readers (that’s you lot) an exclusive discount of $500 for their upcoming event in Las Vegas in March.

All you have to do to take advantage of this offer is simply enter the code UGLV05 when registering.

SQL Server Live! provides comprehensive education and knowledge share on SQL Server database management, data warehouse/BI model design, Big Data analytics, performance tuning, troubleshooting and coding against SQL Server.

The conference is designed to finely tune the skills of DBAs, developers, Business Intelligence specialists (just to mention a few) with 5 days of workshops, deep dives and breakout sessions. The diverse SQL Server session lineup looks great, with topics including Columntore Indexes, Hekaton, Windows Azure SQL Database, Big Data and more.

And the winner is:

 Donald Burdette

Congratulations!
