Yesterday evening I gave a talk about Grouping Sets in SQL 2008 thanks in part to the original front-page blog post on the subject and Rushabh Mehta's inability to be in two places at once:)
As promised to those of you who were at the meeting (and for anyone else of course), here are the presentation notes as well as example scripts.
Speaking is very motivating to a very receptive crowd (as it was last night), and there are two more talks I have lined up:
1) in April: SQL Server Data Compression in Burlington, Vermont, thanks to Roman Rehak's invite. Date to be posted as soon as I find his e-mail with the schedule.
2) June Will be joining MVPs Mario Cardinal, Jean-René Roy, and Erik Renaud at Vancouver’s International Developer Conference - www.SQLteach.com/Session.aspx - Discussion on Why Developers Should Care About Transaction Log Files
