SecureWave forwarded us this link to some info about their product - they claim to be the only product capable of protecting SQL Server from buffer overflow attacks. You can download a free eval from their site. We have not reviewed this product.
Greg returns with an article based on some practical experience using QA templates to save time and work. Good examples, good work through, good idea!
Another link from Steve Jones, this page has a great breakdown of the different types of RAM.
This white paper was written by Alain Dumas, founder of Sunopis. Looks interesting. Looks like they sell a tool that does ETL, replication, data cleaning, and more. We haven't reviewed the product, just thought it was something that might be of interest to our readers

A monster book at 980 pages, it's written in 'how-to' format and has a ton of good material. Andy gave it the once over for us and reports back - see what he thinks!
TechEd will have 350 sessions designed to suit the needs of developers, architects, IT professionals, database, network and system administrators, messaging and security specialists. Andy is going, if you're planning to attend post a comment or send him email (awarren@sqlservercentral.com)!
Joseph recently had to upgrade a server from 4g to 8g of memory. Read how he did it and learn about some interesting aspects of AWE. For example, if you have 6.5g configured for use by SQL, how will task manager show used by sqlserver.exe?
Steve Jones found this link that has some great thoughts on how software should be used to help build a community. Read this if you have time and post some comments. One thing in particular we liked (read the article!) were the comments about emailing responses. Your comments on this one will help us plan as we continue to try to build a better site/community.
Expanding on the issue of reviewing software for SQL Server, Steve Jones proposes some standards for reviews in this article. Please take a moment to read and comment on this proposal to better help SQL Server Central.com provide you with the information that you need.
