Get along to the new SQL User group in Sydney CBD focussing on SQL Dev and Administration. Details below:
Victor Isakov (MCT, MCITP, MCM, SQL Ranger) is starting a new SQL Server User Group Meeting during lunchtimes in the Sydney CBD. It will run on the 1st Wednesday of every month, from 12:30 to 14:30, at Westpac Place.
This new user group will focus more on best practices, optimization, design and implementation - areas specifically geared towards the corporate sector. The meetings will be of high quality that you would typically see at conferences such as Microsoft Tech Ed, SQL PASS or SQL Connections. A number of industry experts and Microsoft personnel have committed to presenting at this new user group in 2009.
The meetings of this new user group will rotate through 3 core themes:
- Database Administrator (DBA) Focuses on the responsibilities of the Database Administrator, covering areas such as disaster recovery, management, performance tuning, security and operational excellence.
- Database Developer (DBD) Focuses on the responsibilities of the Database Developer, covering areas such as query writing, query tuning, indexing strategies, locking architecture and database design.
- Database Architect (ARC) Focuses on the responsibilities of the Database Architect, covering areas such as high-availability, storage, consolidation / virtualization and scalability.

It is important to pre-register for the SQL Server User Group Meetings to help facilitate entry into Westpac Place.
You can come on the day without pre-registering, and are encouraged to "bring a friend" but it will take longer to gain entry.
