Sydney SQL Server Enterprise User Group – April 2010
ARC: Partitioning Q&A
Thank you very much for the very positive feedback to this session.
Congratulations to Slava for winning the major door prize at the last meeting, a license of the Idera SQL Admin Toolset (valued at AUD $954) that was generously provided by Idera (www.idera.com) and Tony Finnemore from SQL Tools (www.sqltools.com.au).
For May I thought we would do a session on SQL Server backups and backup strategies. I’ve done a number of “health checks” / performance reviews of SQL Server environments and noticed a trend. Specifically, that companies are implementing certain back up strategies with the assumption that they can recover to the time of failure, incurring no data loss. And this is not the case.

DBD: Ensuring Optimal Performance in SQL Server 2008 Based Applications
Congratulations to Igor Fiodoroff for winning the major door prize, a license of the Idera SQL Admin Toolset (valued at AU $954) that was generously provided by Idera (www.idera.com) and Tony Finnemore from SQL Tools (www.sqltools.com.au).
For April we’re going to have a session on SQL Server partitioning. It’ a technology that is still not commonly being used in the field, and there are plenty of questions about how it works, whether you will improve performance, how best to implement/manage partitioning and so on. The session will go through such questions and provide answers.
The content from this month’s meeting is posted below.
