We regret to inform you of a passing in the SQL community. Read more here.
Rick Heiges has a post on my favorite new feature in SQL Server 2008, filtered indexes.
So does Decipherinfosys along with a good description on the difference of indexes and statistics if you need some background.
SQLBlogcasts has gotten an upgrade and Tony posts some great stats. Congrats!
Not SQL per say but the Hyper-V release candidate has been released. Speaking of Hyper-V, Sriram posts his slide decks on virtualizing SQL. Part 1 and Part 2.
This is a great starting point for SQL Server 2008 as is this. These come by way of the MSDN\Technet update blog.
The SQL Server 2005 sp3 debate continues.
The SQL ISV team posts a performance improving cursor rewrite sample. However, it is not ANSI compliant :) which is odd since most ISV tsql code needs to be portable.
Paul Nielson will be releasing a DVD.
While we are at it, check out the new SQL Server social network.
