What's new for the SQL Developer in Visual Studio 2010

In this session we take a look at the latest advances in Visual Studio for the database developer, including the new Data Tier Applications (DAC) that leverage a new type of deployment packaging to simplify and streamline the process. We will show new refactoring capabilities in addition to the schema and data comparison tools as well as the data generation features that can be used to simulate test scenarios. Verify that standard and best practices are being followed with static code analysis tools. Walk away from this session with a better idea of what’s possible for the database developer with the latest tools from Microsoft.

SQL at the Speed of Light

Solid-state technologies are changing the way that MS SQL users run their databases. DBA’s are achieving significant TCO savings through performance enhancements, reliability improvements, and reduced energy and real estate costs using solid-state technologies.  Solid state is changing the way datacenters look and how MS SQL Servers perform.

This session will address:
1)  On overview of solid state technology options for SQL Server
2)  Why solid state makes a difference?
3)  An comparison of the different types of NAND Flash-based products and the advantages and disadvantages of each:
    a.    Disk-based SSDs
    b.    Onboard/Embedded PCI Express devices
    c.     Host-based PCI Express devices
4)  Customer proof: Wine.com case study
