November 24 How many use Oracle and want to migrate to SQL Server ..How many of you are thinking of migrating from Oracle to SQL Server and why?

 .November 23 Announcing the new Microsoft Certification trackTogether with the most important release ever [SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, Biztalk 2006], Microsoft announced a new range of certifications that can be considered as the baseline for future certification on Microsoft technologies.
The certification better matches job definitions and has implemented a CORE level of skills identified in the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist. This will be the base and core requirement for the Microsoft Certified IT Professional Certification or the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer Certification.
Also ..4 of the SQL Server exams are currently in Beta, and I expect them to become live early 2006.
On the SQL Server Launch Events you can get a free exam voucher, together with a copy of SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. To find out more about the new certification have a look at : http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/newgen/
November 15 ITFORUM BarcelonaThis week I will be at Microsoft ITFORUM conference in Barcelona, besides from having some chat an talks with SQL People I will spend most of my time at the Microsoft Learning booth where I am presenting and promoting the Microsoft Certification Track and Learning, mostly focusing on Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. Also I will be at the Ask the Expert booth on SQL Server hoping to provide answers to most of your questions.
I am thinking of blogging about the most asked questions
what a trip ...After succesfully delivering the ISV Touchdown Event in Montreal and Vancouver I went to Seattle to catch up with a friend and go for dinner at the Brazilian Barbecue downtown.
We discussed some of the items that I expect to be in a Transact-SQL Course on SQL Server 2005. First of all, I want a course on Transact-SQL that shows me the differences in features between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005.
Why is that? Because there is still going to be a lot of SQL 2000 Servers out there over the next coming years and there are some syntax differences and features I definetely want to point out. November 08 Looking for some challenges on SQLWhen training I really love to challene my students ...
If you have any challenging you want me to resolve in SQL Server 2005, related to T-SQL please let me know ... send me an email dandy@dandyman.net with your question or just post it here in the thread.
Looking forward to some interesting challenges.
