Our own Andy Warren recently spent a week in Santa Clara at the Software Development Magazine's SExpo 05. He shares a few notes on the experience. This conference is for all platforms and might be something for you if you are a software developer.
If you're in the Birmingham area, a new SQL Server users group, affiliated with PASS is forming. User groups are a great way to meet people and do some networking in your area. The first meeting is later this month, so if you can, drop by.
Long anticipated, the arrival of radically restructured database architectures is now finally at hand. By Jim Gray of Microsoft Research.
Intrested in how to index XML documents? Here's a 12 page PDF on how this works.
Not a fun task, although SQL Server 2000 makes the job easier than a few other platforms. Still it's work and it starts to encroach on Jeffrey Yao's two DBA laws having to do with fun at work. Read about his laws and see if you agree and follow along on a real world adventure in migrating hundreds of database objects to a new database.

Welcome to part two of our series on finding and patching SQL Servers in your organization. In part one we discussed how to find all of the SQL Server instances on your network. In this part, we'll discuss patch deployment and the various options available to you.
When most developers think of joins, they think of a.SomethingID = b.SomethingID. This type of join, the equijoin, is vitally important to SQL programming; however, it only scratches the surface of the power of the SQL join. This is the first in a series of articles that will look at several different types of exotic joins in SQL. This article will focus on using the BETWEEN operator in joins when dealing with range-based data.
In this article, we will examine a subject that is near and dear to broadly focused report authors - the use of cube structure to create desired cosmetic effects - in the Cube Browser, and more importantly, in a reporting environment. I constantly get e-mails, and see questions in forums and elsewhere, asking how to achieve effects that are not apparently "available" in "intuitive" cube structures, such as any of those that we see in the sample cubes. One of the apparent "shortfalls" that frustrate users is their inability to display the same dimension on both the "x-" and "y-" axes for presentation purposes.
We periodically negotiate a discount withe vendors for the SQLServerCentral.com readers. We've gotten another one from DBxtra for a Professional license if you're interested in this reporting tool.
