SQL Server Service Broker (SSBS) is a new architecture (introduced with SQL Server 2005 and enhanced further in SQL Server 2008 and later versions) that allows you to write asynchronous, decoupled, distributed, persistent, reliable, scalable and secure queuing/message-based applications within the database itself. Arshad Ali looks at how we can manage, monitor and troubleshoot Service Broker environments.

Steve Jones is your host introducing Grant Fritchey who'll present this webinar. This session explores the use of two Red Gate products, SQL Virtual Restore and SQL Source Control, in establishing a well-defined development process that allows for the use of known data sets and source code management of your database code. These tools work together to help you create a sandbox environment where you can test and develop your databases. Working with a development process is the best way to ensure a safe deployment process to protect your production systems.Developing software without establishing a good process can be a situation rife with the possibility of disaster.
Why don't employers want to fund training? Steve Jones has a few thoughts after a great piece that shows the lack of wisdom in withholding training.
This level covers the details of SQL Server transactional and merge replication, from understanding the basic terminology and methodology of setting up replication, to describing how it works and how the basic replication processes can be monitored.
