December 17th, already?
It's been an incredibly busy month (I guess December usually is), and I've totally dropped the ball on regular posts. I've been working non-stop both at my day job (this is our busy season, as we are in the retail sector), and off hours (I'm working on a few SQL Server 2005 chapters, about DBA topics and SQLCLR). And on top of that, I came into possession of a couple of certification vouchers that are going to expire on the 31st, so this weekend I'm planning to take 70-228 (SQL Server 2000 Admin) and 70-019 (SQL Server 7.0 Data Warehousing).
But that doesn't mean I haven't also been working on lots of content for this blog...
I have a list going that currently has around 20 topics I'll be discussing in coming months. On the short list for the coming days or weeks (whenever I have time to finish these things), expect content on:
- T-SQL Queuing systems (Pre-Service Broker)
- Stored procedure execution plans and recompilation
- More info on batching data modifications
- Triggers and data auditing
- SQL Server 2005 exception handling / TRY-CATCH syntax
- ... and a bunch of performance related topics
I have most of the content half-written and am running lots of tests to make sure I don't post (too much) faulty information. So stay tuned, and if you don't hear from me before then have a great holiday season and happy New Year!
