Hi Euan,

Thanks so much for all the things you've done around SQL the last couple of years, making SQL Server 2005 a first-class DBMS for businesses of all sizes. I wish you all the best in your new role on the Visual Studio team.

Cheers To Those Who Make A Difference

Euan,
I'm genuinely shocked and disappointed to hear this news. The SQL Server team will be poorer as a result.
And to think I've finally learned how to spell your name properly without having double-check it on google it as well :)

This is one of the saddest things I have heard in quite a while for those of us in the SQL Server community. You have always been an inspiration and a heck of a lot of fun to be around at conferences. Good luck!

Mmmmm - thoughts of when they cancelled the MVP programme and somebody know to us getting 10,000's of people to email senior management to get it back come to mind, only its getting you to stick in the SQL team....

I've known ewe for many years now as a result of our work in the SQL Community - its been fun and I've learn't so much from you. This is indeed a big loss to the SQL team but a great gain to VS team - you Gert's boss now?

You've made a massive contribution to the product and should be proud - because we are!

All the best with the future and see you back on the SQL team in a few months ;)

Tony.

Hi Euan,

I hope things go well for you in your new post. It's sad to hear that you're leaving the SQL Server team.

Hi Euan,

All the best with the new role, and thanks for your visits to Scotland on the SQL Server trail.

But a wee point, did you not mean the Scottish Police college at Tulliallan (Kincardine - http://www.tulliallan.police.uk/ )? and not Falkirk - I've got a SQL Server fleece from the Launch of SQL 7.0 there.

A.

Hey Euan,

We'll certainly miss you in the SQL Server space, but something tells me we'll see some SQL Server VSTS tests coming soon? I can only hope :)

Hi Euan:

We are going to miss you in the SQL User group meeting in bldg 35. I remember three years back that I talked to you about some indexing issue I had and you gave a me a good workaround. We SQL user group guys will miss your expert comments in the meeting. Good luck in your new role.
