Last week (Jan 12, 2012), we held the user group meeting for the SQL Server Society of Las Vegas (a.k.a S3OLV or SSSOLV).
Presenting at that meeting was Josh Lewis (Twitter). Josh presented on a pretty tough topic in my opinion. He chose to present to us the topic of XML for the DBA. You can read his abstract here.
We got the meeting rolling a little bit late. Traffic must have been a bear down in LV. Nonetheless, it got rolling and was a good meeting.
During this meeting we had our second installment of “Crap Code.” Unintentionally, the crap code was a perfect segue into the presentation. The crap code demonstrated extracting elements from XML related to the blocked process report.
Josh did a great job on the topic. We recorded the meeting and you can view that here. Check it out. Get a little free learning on a difficult topic (for some us like myself).
Stay tuned, the February announcement is coming soon.
