Upcoming SQL Events

I realized this morning that I will be participating in three SQL Events this week and I want to share the event information with everyone.  Two of the events are available online and the other is a local user group meeting.  If you have time logon onto one of the webcasts or join me at the Baton Rouge SQL Server User Group.  The events are as follows:

Topic:  Introduction to SQL Profiler

Description: The SQL Server Profiler is a powerful, but underused tool. Often developers and some DBAs don’t realize the potential the tool has to offer. In this session I will show you how to use the tool to identify poor performing queries. I will also detail steps that can be used to identify blocking and deadlocking. Finally, I will provide sample scripts and methods that can be used to proactively monitor your SQL Server for inefficient queries and stored procedures.
