Webcast: Recover the Data, the Whole Data and Nothing but the Data You Need

Coming on the heals of the extremely successful webcast “Under The Hood of SQL Server - Checking Out Internals”, Quest Software has asked me to co-present another webcast.  This one is entitled “Recover the Data, the Whole Data and Nothing but the Data You Need” and will be on March 6, 2008 at 8am Pacific (11am Eastern).  I’ve been told that so far the sign up rate has been incredible so far.

If you are interested in the product or doing object level restores (restoring one table or stored procedure, etc instead of restoring the entire database) then I highly recommend the webcast; granted I am a little biased.

See you at the webcast.

Webcast turnout was fantastic

Thanks to all who attended this morning webcast ‘Under The Hood of SQL Server - Checking Out Internals’.  This mornings webcast was a complete success.  The number of people attending was fantastic, and some excellent questions were asked.  If I remember correctly there were about 140 people in attendance.  For those who weren’t able to attend the webcast this morning, it was recorded and as soon as it’s published I’ll post the link to the video.

If you have a question specific to the webcast please email my good friend Andy Grant with your questions and he will route them to myself or Jason Hall.

Don’t forget to check out the tech brief which we were talking about.

New Paper Published: Picking the Right Instrument for SQL Server Performance Management

The folks at Quest Software asked me to write a paper for them discussing the differences between managing a SQL Server using just the Microsoft provided tools and their Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise product.  That paper has just been released and can be downloaded here.  We’ll also be discussing this paper (among other things) at a web cast Thursday 2/7/2008 at 8am which you can read about here and here.
