Join us tonight at Microsoft's NYC office for an exciting presentation by our very own Bill, Steve and Andrew!
A sneak peak of SQL Server 2005 for the holidays!
Bill will kick off the talk with an introduction of the new features and tools then show you the brand new SQL Server Service Broker.
Stephen will demonstrate the new T-SQL features including Ranking Functions, Recursive Query, Crosstabs (Pivot) and new data types including XML. He will also explore the XML data type much more deeper with schema, indices and querying XML content with XQuery.
Andrew will conclude with a brief overview of the new BI features in SQL Server 2005, especially OLAP-related capabilities and the Unified Dimensional Model (UDM). He'll then follow-up with an in-depth demonstration of creating OLAP cubes in the Business Intelligence Development Studio and querying them from the SQL Server Management Studio.
