A jackpot today (few intersting links)

Hello folks,

I was going through my blog roll today and noticed some bunch of links thats woth to look at and well I say its a jackpot on what I was doing for some time.

1. Logical Query processing – this has been great area of interest for me for quite a long time, and Itzik has done a great job consolidating all this in a flow chart. It makes life easy for people who want to understand the logical flow of the operators for a query to be processed. Thanks to Itzik and Solidq for sharing this!

2.  SQL Server Error Logs – Although I am familiar of this topic, and know the in’s and out’s of how it works but never blogged. So thought of sharing this with you guys and thanks to Jeremiah putting it so clear and simple.

I hope you guys will enjoy reading the links.

Cheers!

Did you know this?

I happen to bump into this information from Database Design Guru’s (Louis Davidson) presentation on Database Design. You know what, The Complete E-Reference Library for Microsoft Press, which I wasn’t aware of. This is a paid online-subscription service which lets you read through 500+ MSFT Press books. Is anyone interested to pay an annual fee and read through the books online whenever they want?

Enjoy reading MSFT books.

Amazing stuff!

Guys, I couldn’t hold sharing this information with you all. I was running through my favorite list favorite blog rolls and I happen to learn that PDC 2008 has just concluded. There are dozens of sessions taken by product experts, industry stalwarts, and who not…I have made myself a lucky guy by downloading few of my interesting subject’s session recordings. Why don’t you too get your own over here… Remember, the recordings are in 100+ MB sizes (of course there are less than 100 too), but worthy enough, although I couldn’t attend in person.

I am going to start listening on all these soon, and shall share my learning’s.
