Hi. Tony and Simon will be away hobnobbing at an MVP do in Seattle and so have asked me to fill in for them at the next London SQL Server User Group meeting. In case you hadn't guessed from the title its on April 17.
This month's meeting is being held at Microsoft's Victoria office. A map can be found here
In addition to the news round-up, beer and nibbles I am delighted to say that we have two excellent speakers lined up:
Christian Bolton - "Will you still want me when I'm 64" - covering all things x64 like
Eric Alsop - "the cursors of SQLstein!" - guidance on appropriate application of cursors (Ooo... controversial).
Full Agenda is as follows:
5:30 - Registration
6pm - 6.30pm Round Table Discussion
Update on what's been going on and is going on in the SQL Server space.
Bring your SQL problems and ask the audience, bounce ideas - anything related to SQL Server.
6.30pm – 7.30pm Will you still want me, when I'm 64? - Christian Bolton (COEO)
An in-depth look at the move toward 64-bit computing with SQL Server covering where and why it will help, what the caveats are and the most up to date best practices gathered from global SQL Server deployments.
7.30 – 7.50pm Break
7.50pm - 9.00pm The cursors of SQLStein - Eric Alsop (IM Group)
Nothing divides the SQL community like a cursor, so why are they still around? In this session we are going to look at how to use cursors and when they are most applicable
