Event Details
Join us Tuesday the 21st at New Horizons Computer Learning Center for the February Meeting of Steel City SQL. This month's meeting will feature SQL Server MVP, Kevin Boles, presenting on the Fundamentals of Physical Join Operators. This is a wonderful session for those that don't yet grok the three types of joins available to the SQL Server engine or the scenarios for which each join type is optimal. All will be explained here with some very slick visual demonstrations of internal data flow as well as TSQL code samples. Getting more advanced we will also cover how bad performance can get when suboptimal joins are used and some things you might be able to do about that.
Kevin is a SQL Server expert, working exclusively with the product since version 6.5. With over fifteen years of database experience, he holds many SQL Server related certifications and is also an MCT and MVP. Kevin teaches occassionally and has been a very successful independent consultant for almost ten years. He is also a Mentor with SolidQ, a top-tier global SQL Server consulting firm. His passion is the relational engine, especially scalability, performance analysis and tuning.
Food and beverages for this month’s meeting will be provided by this month's sponsor SQL Saturday #112. If you plan on attending this month’s meeting let us know by registering at steelcitysqlfeb2012.eventbrite.com so we can plan accordingly. Hope to see you there.

Steel City SQL Server Users Group - Birmingham, AL Chapter of PASS
Steel City SQL Server Users Group is the Birmingham, AL chapter for the Professional Association for SQL Server or PASS. PASS is the world's largest, user-run community dedicated to Microsoft SQL Server technologies including Database Administration, Database Development and Business Intelligence. The goal of PASS is to build the SQL Server Community by focusing on three key points, Connect, Learn and Share. These three areas of focus are seen in the PASS events such as the PASS Community Summit, SQL Rally, SQL Saturday, 24 Hours of PASS, Virtual Chapters and Local Chapters.
Steel City SQL is promoting the goals of PASS locally in Birmingham through the monthly meetings by giving attendees the opportunity to Connect with other SQL Server users, Learn from a presentation on a relevant SQL Server or Business Intelligence topic and Share by giving attendees the opportunity to present to group or simply share solutions to problems that they have seen that other users might be challenging other attendees. Additionally, Steel City SQL organizes the Birmingham SQL Saturday events, which are one day training events that take place roughly once a year with local, regional and national speakers presenting on various SQL Server administration, development and business intelligence topics.
Steel City SQL meets monthly on the third Tuesday of the month at the New Horizons Computer Learning Center on Beacon Parkway off Valley Avenue starting at 6pm. Each meeting starts with a 30 minute networking session followed by a technical presentation at 6:30pm which generally last for an hour. There are no membership fees or dues to belong to the group and there is no cost other than your time to attend a monthly meeting. All that we ask is that you let us know that you plan to attend so that we can plan accordingly for food and beverages.
Additional information about the group including the upcoming meeting schedule can be found at steelcitysql.org or by contacting steelcitysql@gmail.com.
