The first meeting of the revived South African SQL Server usergroup will be at 18:30 on Tuesday the 21st of October. The meeting will be held at the auditoriums at the Microsoft office, 3012 William Nicol Drive, Bryanston, Johannesburg.

Gail Shaw will be presenting a talk titled Effective Indexing. She will be looking at the considerations for selecting clustered and non-clustered indexes, what should and should not be indexed and how queries affect the decision on indexing. If there's time, She will also talk briefly on index maintenance. The talk is a slight modification of the one that Gail presented at TechEd South Africa this year .

The event is open to anyone interested in SQL Server. Please either PM or mail Gail via the forum, or leave a comment on my blog at http://sqlinthewild.co.za.
