No way, the Summit is too far and too expensive for me.
Especially now that I'm moving into freelance consulting.

Is anyone willing to review a short article of mine?

If I can swing going to the summit, I'll most definitely be at this pre-con!
Congrats to both of you'll.

Is that for sure? Did they pick pre-cons?
Very tempting to go see....

Yeah, it's confirmed. She forwarded the acceptance email, which is nice since I got a rejection on my submission of the SQL Rally pre-con. I also talked to one of the people on the committee. It's a done deal.

Awesome! I will totally be there. My company is nice enough to send me because it sees the value of constant training. What an awesome company I work for! So yes, I'm planning on attending the Summit for the first time this year, and also this PreCon which I'm thrilled to hear was picked up!
I can always learn more about performance tuning. Grant's SQLRally session was awesome and I'd love to see that again. I'm curious what might be different. Honestly, I wish this was a 2 day precon going into massive depth. Or perhaps starting, or at least covering, piece by piece, a gnarly query with many problems (which is pretty typical I find). It is great to cover each little piece with simpler examples, and I'd still benefit from any rehashing of that, but it would also be nice to decypher a massive plan to determine where you'd start (besides the obvious large percentage). Number of executes at small percentages being a hidden high value 'kill' as opposed to the basic 'add an NCI to avoid that CIScan'.
I guess, I would love to see a precon (not necessarily this one, but here's an idea for the future), where we walk in and have a business complaint. Maybe two or three complaints that may cover 'the website is giving a timeout error 3 or 4 times a day' or something like that. Maybe throw in a possible deadlock or something. If you had a database and jobs or powershell to apply a load of poor queries and other OLTP incompatible lock activity to simulate the real world, I would love to see you go step-by-step, where you would start to isolate the largest problem first, then the next then the next. Waitstats, perfmon, dm's, trace, query analysis and statistics io/time, and the like. Disk bottleneck and too many recompiles, or other common issues. Query analysis/indexes.
I have my way of doing this, but I'd love to see how others attack the problem, which order you focus on things and what you think is the biggest piece of the puzzle to tackle first. And I'd love to sit in just this for 2 days. Maybe I'm looking more for Paul's SQLSkills training. Anyway, this is quite at bit off topic for your precon.
At any rate, I'm looking forward to your sessions and can't wait to see what you cover and how.

Congrats Gail and Grant! If I'm able to make the Summit this year, I'd like to do a pre-con because of the 2 pre-con days vs. 1 pre-con, 1 post-con day format that have been the last couple of year. Probably why they switched back.
If I go I'll probably still fly in on Sunday and out on Friday afternoon, so I'll want to spend either Monday or Tuesday in a pre-con.
Honestly I'd like to go to both day's of pre-cons and skip most of the regular sessions Wednesday - Friday, just use those days for networking.

Just got a PM and a mail asking for some free consulting. I sympathise with people in tough situations, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to give telephonic support for free. 🙁
Just curious... are the initials for that person "SH"?
