This year, we kick started SQL Server Day events with great enthusiasm and aggressiveness planning events in Bangalore, Mumbai, Gurgaon & Kolkata. The fourth and last one in this series was in Gurgaon (Delhi NCR) on 5 May 2012 at Microsoft India’s headquarters. And we must begin by saying “DelhiLites rock” !!!

This, again, was truly like a gala event with more than 100+ SQL Geeks who turned up for the event, room packed to its full capacity. And we appreciate the enthusiasm of learners, SQL geeks came all the way from Noida, Gaziabad – traveling for more than 2 hours, one way! If you know Delhi NCR, you know how big it is!

This one again was one of the most interactive events we had in a long time, the inquisitiveness of the audience kept the speakers on their toes and our speakers left no stone unturned to answer every single query being thrown at them. Ahmad Osama presented on SQL Server Transactions and Amit Bansal presented on SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence (tabular model). As usual, our speakers did a fantastic job and the facebook comments show it all.

This year, we kick started SQL Server Day events with great enthusiasm and aggressiveness planning events in Bangalore, Mumbai, Gurgaon & Kolkata. The second one was in Kolkata and Kolkata experience is always so different. The Microsoft facility in Kolkata, where the event was held, can only accommodate 30 attendees, and as expected, the classroom was full. We are so used to 100+ crowd that suddenly the small setup was becoming a different experience.

To begin with, the attendees were knowledgeable on SQL and had good experience. This was something that our speakers really liked including me, as we were able to have matured discussions with the audience. Sessions were presented by Abhishek Sur (MVP) and Amit Bansal (www.amitbansal.net). Abhishek presented on developer enhancements in SQL Server 2012 and Amit presented on SQL Server wait stats. Having only 30 attendees in a classroom format, as opposed to 100+ in seminar halls, things worked in our favor as the speakers were able to one-to-one discussions on many occasions; kind of a closed group talk – in a way, it was more effective.

Thanks to the Bangalore audience which is always so energetic and they do come in numbers – and they make a point; if they register, they will come; mark of a true professional. So, a big thank you to the audience !

Just like Water the Server Resources are also getting scarce and we should find a way to put a Tap on these resources to optimally utilize them as and when needed. In this session we’ll see a way to control & manage server resources to get desired performance and targets.
