This coming weekend, I head to Gainesville, Georgia for SQLSaturday #25. This will be my second SQLSaturday event to attend, and this time I will be presenting two sessions:
- Deadlock Detection, Troubleshooting, & Prevention at 8:30 a.m.
- Leveraging SQLDiag for Efficient Troubleshooting at 11:00 a.m.
The latter will be my first public delivery of that presentation, the same one that I will be giving in less than a month at the PASS Community Summit 2009! I hope to get a lot of good feedback so that I can continue to refine it.
As before, with SQLSaturday #17, a secondary reason for attending is to gain greater insight into the workings of a SQLSaturday event, in order to apply the experience to the North Texas SQLSaturday event that we are planning. I learned a great deal from a great blog post by Stuart Ainsworth (blog, Twitter), so it will be great to see him in action (he’s also the event coordinator of SQLSaturday #25).
I’m fortunate to get to travel with another friend from the user group, Tim Costello (blog, Twitter). This is going to be a fun trip!
