Midlands SQL Server User Group, being held in The Briar Rose Pub in the centre of Birmingham on Thursday 16th February.

6.00pm – 6:30pm Meet, Greet & Beer

6:30pm - 7:30pm Cursors are evil and shouldn't be used (Dave Ballantyne blog|twitter)

That’s frequent advice given on forums when asking about performance problems. Its correct advice, but how do you go about removing cursors and what do you replace them with? That’s the tricky part! By deconstructing a cursor based routine, Dave will demonstrate a number of TSQL techniques and how they can be applied to generate a new routine with significantly less overhead.

7:30pm - 8:00pm Break, Food & Beer

8:00pm – 9:00pm Introduction to Powershell (James Boother blog|twitter)

James will demonstrate what Powershell is, what it can do and why you should use it.

We'll be putting on food for the event, so please do register so we know numbers. If you then can't make it we'd really appreciate it if you'd unregister and/or let us know.

When you get to The Briar Rose, go in through the Hotel entrance to the right, up to the 1st floor and follow signs to the conference room. Grab yourself a drink from the bar on your way!

If you need any further details or have any requests for this or future Midlands SSUG events, please let me (Alex Whittles) know, either on Twitter (@PurpleFrogSys or @SSUGMidlands) or email SSUG@PurpleFrogSystems.com

See you in February!
