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. (directions)
I will be presenting a talk titled Effective Indexing. I’ll 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, I’ll also talk briefly on index maintenance. The talk is a slight modification of the one that I presented at TechEd South Africa this year.
The event is open to anyone interested in SQL Server. Please post a comment if you’re interested in attending.
Any chance on making your slides/notes public after the event? The Effective Indexing talk would be of particular interest to me.
I will definitely be attending. Looking forward to it!
I’ll definitely post the slides afterwards. I will need to add some details, as currently they’re just an outline
Sounds interesting… Add 1 more to the attendee list 🙂
Excellent. I look forward to seeing you there.
See you there!
I will be there!
I’d like to attend as well.
Will there be an event in Cape Town?
I would be interested in attending.
Will you be holding any events in Cape Town?
Ahhh, some nice exposure for this event on SSC’s newsletter this morning:)
At the moment the events are going to be just JHB, because the two of us who are organising things live in JHB/PTA.
I would like to expand to CT in the future, but it will be after things are running smootly in JHB.

Gail, it was super to find out that you are reviving the group.Well done!!! This is something that we really need.
As I mentioned, if there is enough interest I would be more than happy to present my PASS 2008 Summit Presentation “DTS 2000 migration to SSIS…makes financial sense !!” in November in Joh’burg when I am out there.I shall also be in CT during December if there are enough folks interested in seeing the presentation.
My best to you all for your first meeting.
