After this sessions started. First Session : SQL Server 'Yukon' - .Net Programming features by Rajiv Sodhi, a Developer Advisor in Microsoft Yukon is developing as a scalable, secure, enterprise data management platform. Key features are Enterprise Data Management, Programmability and Business Intelligence. The session concentrated on Programmability aspect of Yukon server. Notable features in Yukon are .Net Integration, XML Support, API Languages, Developer Tools, and Relational Extensions. With Integration of .Net in Yukon, we can program .Net Assemblies for SQL server and register them. We will have System.Data.SqlServer as a new namespace for integration. With XML integration we can have new data type as XML and we can attach schema for the same. XQuery can be used for retrieving specific XML elements. The best feature would be SQL server exposing a web service that can be used on any platform.Lot of exciting demonstrations were shown. Some handful of articles on Yukon are on net. After the sumptuous meal the next session started. Second Session : Extending SQL server functionality with User-Defined Functions: Hidden Tricks by Srimathi, Sr. Software Architect, Vishwak Systems The possibility of redefining system Stored Procedures as UDF has lots of exciting possibilities. This practical session concentrated on some tips and tricks on combining UDFs and Indexed Views or indexed columns to combine extra flexibility and performance at the same time. Many undocumented UDFs were demonstrated that could be used for optimizing the database queries. I found some good resources on net for SQLServer After the tea break, the next session started. Third Session : Designing for Performance by Praveen Srivatsa, Director, In4Velocity, MSDN Regional Director This was an interesting session was based on Planning, Optimizing for performance and Preserving Performance on SQL Server. It also highlighted the changes expected in Yukon. Effective logging, Table width optimization for optimal storage, vertical and horizontal partitioning (covering) and fragmentation were explained in detail. There are umpteen articles available on Sql Server performance tuning. After another tea break, the next session started. Fourth Session : ADO.Net for ADO classic Developers- Morphing from ADO Classic to ADO.Net by Sanjay Shetty, CEO, Wireless Strategist This was an insightful session for classic ADO developers moving to ADO.Net. It was summing up of all those features that are not possible in ADO.Net which were possible in ADO. It also provided good workarounds for those features of classic ADO in ADO.Net. This was a very old discussion with more practical examples. All the presentations and other artifacts are yet to be posted on MyTechEd homepage.
