SQL Saturday #27 Wrap Up and Presentation Files Link
Thank you Portland, Oregon and all those associated with puting together and participating in SQL Saturday #27 on 5/22/2010. I would personally like to thank the anonymous, but freakishly tall gentleman who attended my last session of the day and was somehow able to reach the projector on the ceiling in order to restart it after the “smart classroom” figured we were done for the day when in fact we were just starting to look at the first demo script. I don’t know how you people survive who are over 5’10” what with all the depleted oxygen up there. But thanks again tall guy! Saved you all seeing me jump around with a long stick in my hand trying to hit the power button like some sort of spastic, geeky Don Quixote.
I had a great time, learned a great deal myself, and had an opportunity every once in a while to get a word out of my gob when talking with Buck Woody. I think my personal best was 5 words in a row, but that may have been a conversion to metric to make the stats look better.
As promised, the presentation slides and scripts are available on the Presentations page of this site. I hope expectations were met or exceeded for everyone who attended each session. Perhaps I’ll even see a couple of you at SQLCruise as well; in the much warmer climes of Florida this August.
Sorry to hear that. I’ll ensure that you *don’t* get a word out next time.
Good seeing you again, my friend. Catch you at the next one…
Could listen to you for hours Buckster. See you in a couple weeks in the Big Easy.
Thanks again for giving the presentations. I had never actually encountered templates until you brought them up in your DMV session.
Now that I am getting to fiddle with them, I have in my notes that you can use ctrl+shift+m to edit parameters in templates, but this does not appear to do anything with the default templates. Is this specific to your templates?
Hey Mike, I just encountered this with my new install of SQL Server 2008 on a laptop to replace one that went fubar on me. I see what you mean and there is a wierd bug with that and some other enhancements that happens periodically. To resolve the Ctl+Shift+M thing go to Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard. Change Keyboard Scheme to SQL Server 2000 and click OK. Then repeat the process, this time changing it back to Standard. That should do the trick.
Thanks for the presentation files, I think you linked the wrong files though, to the Disaster Recovery and High Availability for N00Bs.
Thanks Adam. I’ll review and fix accordingly. Sorry for the inconvenience!
