    Hi Glenn!
    I am signed up for your data warehousing class next quarter and I am excited and chomping at the bit already. I am wanting to start reading the book which is why I am contacting you. The University College website lists Data Warehousing Design as the book but the bookstore doesn’t know anything about it. Have you picked a book yet?
    I still read your blog regularly, its great – thanks for sharing all the great info!
    Thanks Glenn,
    Drew

    Glenn,

    I just finished reading your chapter on using DMVs in the SQL Server MVP book I bought at Summit 2009 (yes, I’m reading it slowly) and thought this would be a good topic for my user group. I’m the chapter leader for CBusPASS, Columbus, Ohio http://columbus.sqlpass.org/ and would love to hear you speak about using DMVs to our user group. I’m looking for speakers to fill in our 2011 calendar and have lots of openings. We meet on the second Thursday of the month from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. and welcome speakers in person or via livemeeting. Usually we ask the speaker for an hour long presentation with a few minutes for questions at the end.

    Please let me know if you are interested and we can arrange a good month for your presentation.

    Thanks

It focuses on retrieving data, adding SQL to the enterprise and internet, managing security and performance, as well as coverage of Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

    Hi!

    Can you tell me whatever happened to sys.fulltext_index_fragments? My full text catalog isn’t responding to their queries:

    Invalid object name ‘sys.fulltext_index_fragments’

    Did something happend when I upgraded to 2008 R2?

    Or can you tell me a better way to access my FTS’s indexed words with queries?

    Thanks!

    So who’s idea was it to put a pic of a nuclear power plant cooling tower on the cover of your book? Pretty funny knowing your pov. No photovoltaics? Glad you finally left NG and can use your powers for something useful.

    Glenn, Wanted to know what you thought should be covered in documentation for SQL servers in case I hit the powerball and quit? I don’t want to leave them high and dry!

    You should double check the June 22nd IBM TpcE FDR.
    It used 90 SSDs (in six RAID5 sets of 15 SSDs each), not SAS HDDs.
