Meeting Re-caps for 2011

July 27, 2011 at 6:00pm

Disaster Recovery is a topic that has become more and more important in recent years. We have lived through two consecutive hundred-year floods and the worst state-wide weather emergency/power outage in the area's history. All of these factors, coupled with some of the most challenging economic times most of us have experienced, make Disaster Recovery Planning more important than ever. The aim is to offer some tips and best practices to consider when establishing or updating your Disaster Recovery Plan.

 Presented by Marc Berthiaume - Security and Compliance at Newmarket International

January 27th Meeting Recap

The January meeting is complete.  For the intro slide deck, click on 2011 meetings to the left.  The main presentation slide deck will be available soon.

Mike Walsh, who runs the Seacoast SQL Server User Group, will join us to present "I'm A Sysadmin, What Am I Supposed To Know About SQL Server?"

In this interactive session, Mike will address a lot of the following concerns (whether you're a new DBA or a SysAdmin forced into the role of DBA):

Are you the lucky one at your company who was assigned the role of part time DBA?
Do you hate dealing with those annoying DBAs always asking for more spindles?
When developers call for help troubleshooting SQL Server, do you ignore the call?
Are you sure you can recover your database the way the business is expecting?

We'll cover topics such as Backup and Recovery, Performance and Troubleshooting, Common Installation Mistakes, why the defaults and some settings can hurt you, other components (SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, etc.), and how to see what's going on in your SQL Server through queries and management tools.
