The Edge UG is putting on a SQL event - please see their website (http://edgeug.net) for more information and registration.

Next up we have Eric Nelson from Microsoft UK DPE come to speak to us on SQL Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing offering.

Want to learn some compelling reasons to put your data in the cloud? Want to know the limitations of using SQL Azure over a local SQL Server? Then this event is for you.

Our second event of the evening is also has a SQL theme. SQL Server 2008 R2 was released as a Community Technology Preview this month. Hot off the press and fresh from his appearances at Tech-Ed '09 Andrew Fryer; also a Microsoft Evangelist; will be popping in to show us what's new in SQL Server 2008 R2.
