For those who may not have heard, there is training for SQL Professionals called SQL Cruise.  You can find more info here.

There is a bit of interesting news for an upcoming cruise.  There is a contest asking you to elaborate your mad SQL Skills and how you saved the day.  The contest is sponsored by Idera.  Here’s the problem as I see it with that contest though.  In order to participate you have to enter through Idera’s facebook page.  I’m not a fan of that site.  I don’t have an account and I won’t be signing up – not even for SQL Cruise.  For any of you who are interested – enjoy and good luck.  Believe me, I was stoked about the contest until I read that blurb about having to submit via Facebook.
