Presenting a Pre-Con at SQLBits 2019!

Speaking, SQLBits

I was very fortunate to attend my first SQLBits last year, and wow was it an amazing time! Not just because it was in London either (though that was great too!) but because it is a tremendously well-organized conference with some incredible sessions and opportunities to network. This year I not only get to return, but am honored to be presenting a pre-conference session with David Klee! Sound great already? Register here! SQLBits has many excellent pre-conference choices this year, but I think you will find ours particularly useful because we're focused on cloud infrastructure. Infrastructure still matters, and yes…

Speaking in Boston in December!

Speaking

I'm very happy to be travelling to the Boston area in a few weeks! I will be speaking at the New England SQL User Group, which meets in Burlington, Massachusetts, on Wednesday December 12, 2018. I will be delivering my session Locks, Blocks, and Snapshots: Maximizing Database Concurrency. This takes a look at SQL Server’s available isolation levels, what they are, how they differ, and why the default setting of “read committed” may not be appropriate for your workload. I'll also have some demonstrations that show how different isolation levels can determine not only the performance, but also the result…

Speaking, SQL Saturday

I'm very happy to be returning to Boston this weekend to speak at SQL Saturday Boston 2018.

Presenting at the Chicago Suburban SQL Server User Group

Speaking

I am very happy to be returning to the Chicago Suburban SQL Server User Group next week! ...Except I won't exactly be talking about SQL Server. Instead I will be speaking about Azure Cosmos DB, a relatively new cloud offering that, while different from SQL Server, is quickly proving to be extremely important in the field of data management. So what exactly is Azure Cosmos DB, and why does it matter? This session, "Select Stars: A SQL DBA's Introduction to Azure Cosmos DB" will cover the basics of the product, how it works, and what it can do for your…
