Yesterday, I had the good fortune to be able to deliver a presentation at the SQL Saturday #13 Community Event at the Microsoft Campus in Alpharetta. SQL Saturday is a community event for Microsoft SQL Server professionals. Several well known speakers presented including Joe Celko, Kevin Kline, and Andy Warren. A great amount of effort and preparation went into delivering this event, which had approximately 200 people in attendance. Hats off to all of the leadership team at Atlanta MDF for making this happen, as well as all of the sponsors, and Microsoft for providing the facility. There was a tremendous amount of give aways, and I think everyone went away satisfied.

My presentation, "Building Effective T-SQL Solutions" was based on five articles I have published on the SQL Server World Wide User Group web site . I discussed the following topics in my presentation which is available for download here:

1. How to Set Compatibility Mode Using T-SQL
2. How to Determine Membership in Windows Groups Using T-SQL
3. Creating a Data Driven Web site using MySQL and VS 2008
4. Importing a .csv file into SQLExpress using Bulk Insert
5. Creating a Non-Sequential Order Number System

All in all, it was a great success.
