Understanding Transactions
Transactions are essential to maintaining data integrity. Getting transactions right means understanding both how they work and the business rules that govern your data. This session will explain the fundamentals of transactions and how they behave in SQL Server. It will delve into ACID properties, isolation levels and nested transactions. The session will also review how to structure transactions to satisfy business rules and ensure efficient performance.

Enterprise Data Mining with SQL Server
This presentation describes SQL Server Data Mining (SSDM) for SQL Server Professionals. Starting with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), the demo includes the interfaces important for professional development, including Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), highlighting Integration Services, and PowerShell. The interactive demos are based on Microsoft's Contoso Retail sample data. Finally we will evaluate where Microsoft data mining can help you in a practical business environment, which may include Oracle and SAS.

Reporting Services with SharePoint Mobile Device
Today's executives and information workers want to use mobile devices to get at their business information, make critical decisions, and thrive. Let's help them get there with SQL Server Reporting Services and SharePoint. Tablets are common place now, and smart phones have been in place for years, but have we devoted enough attention to make effective use of the new form factors? Let's discuss how our design approach changes when we want to launch mission-critical dashboards and reports on smaller screen sizes using touch-screen technology. We'll look at iPad and Windows Phone, SSRS and SharePoint, BI Developer and Business User, with emphasis on data visualization best practices.

A Preview of High Availability in SQL Server 2012
One of the major focuses of the new major version of SQL Server, SQL Server 2012, is mission critical. There are quite a few changes in this upcoming release, including the new AlwaysOn availability groups feature and some changes to failover clustering. This session will give you a preview of what is coming (including some demo) and talk about how you can start thinking about and preparing for SQL Server 2012 even if it will be awhile before you use it in production.

SQL Azure Federations
SQL Azure Federations is a new feature providing horizontal scale out to a SQL Azure database. Using SQL Azure Federations, database solutions are able to gain the performance and data-capacity benefits of data sharding while benefitting from the managed platform-as-a-service environment provided by SQL Azure. This presentation describes how to implement a solution using SQL Azure Federations as well as the motivation for and benefits from doing so.

SQL Server Internals Architecture
Let’s face it. You can effectively do many IT jobs related to SQL Server without knowing the internals of how SQL Server works. Many great developers, DBAs, and designers get their day-to-day work completed on time and with reasonable quality while never really knowing what’s happening behind the scenes. But if you want to take your skills to the next level, it’s critical to know SQL Server’s internal processes and architecture. This session will answer questions like: - What’s different about 32- and 64-bit systems? - What are the various areas of memory inside of SQL Server? - How are queries handled behind the scenes? - What does SQL Server do with procedural code, like functions, procedures, and triggers? - ...and much more.

Using Columnstore Indexes in SQL Server 2012
Columnstore Indexes in SQL Server 2012 will allow you to significantly improve the processing time of common data warehousing queries without creating cubes, aggregated tables, or other techniques normally used to improve performance. This session will show how to implement this new type of index in SQL Server and demonstrate their advantages compared to traditional solutions. Carlos will also discuss the scenarios for which columnstore indexes should be implemented to provide powerful but flexible BI solutions.

DMVs - Understand an Application's Database Usage
The DMVs contain a wealth of information about how your application uses the database. This talk will describe how to build a tool to mine the DMVs to get a good picture of how your application uses the database, leveraging your understanding of your application and/or it’s data model. By building a tool in a programming language, instead of relying on scripts, you can use set operations to minimize the number of queries executed against the database and then correlate information from a variety of DMVs and system tables. For example, you can execute a single query to get the execution statistics, text and showplan xml for the top N queries and then use XPath on the client to query the showplan xml and extract a wealth of information.

PowerPivot and Power View in SQL Server 2012
This presentation introduces what’s new in PowerPivot for Excel and explores Power View.
PowerPivot, first released with SQL Server 2008 R2, is an add-in for Excel 2010 that empowers business users to create their own tabular data models. In this presentation, you will learn how the add-in has been enhanced to include an upgraded designer experience and new modeling features.
Power View is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation tool that delivers an intuitive ad-hoc reporting experience for business users. The reporting must be based on a tabular model. Ordinarily, the tabular model will need to be optimized for Power View, and the basics on how to achieve this will be covered in this presentation.

FileTable and Semantic Search in SQL Server 2012
Managing and Gaining Insight in Unstructured Data with SQL Server 2012: FileTable and Semantic Search
Learn how SQL Server 2012 is reshaping FILESTREAM functionality to enable non-transactional access to Win32 Applications and while at the same time allowing you to manipulate it equally well through SQL relational algebra with a new exciting feature called 'FileTable'. Coupled together with another exciting new feature 'Statistical Semantic Search' that allows you to extract statistically relevant phrases as potential tag recommendations, or find potentially similar content based upon these phrases, SQL Server 2012 now provides unique advances in how unstructured data can be managed and mined using database technologies.

Best Practices for Monitoring SQL Server on VMware
SQL Server on VMware??? Most of our customers have virtualized their application tier, but now are either virtualizing databases or planning to do so soon. Some companies have tried to virtualize databases on VMware already but went back to physical hardware because of performance issues. There are many reasons this may have happened, but quite often the decision to go back to physical was not based on hard facts. This presentation will explore the fundamentals of monitoring databases running in a VMware environment. If you are using classic O/S monitoring tools using standard Perfmon counters, you are getting misleading information. Understand which metrics are important and how to get the data.

Accelerate SQL data and applications over the WAN
The main culprit affecting MS-SQL performance over a WAN is latency. Latency cannot be addressed by adding bandwidth. A different solution is needed. Riverbed Steelhead appliances address latency issues with MS-SQL by pipelining the delivery of data between the client and the SQL server, giving up to a 10x improvement in performance.

Virtualizing SQL Server w/out Sacrificing Performa
Everyone has heard the benefits of virtualization touted: nimble infrastructures, on-demand provisioning, and savings in cap-ex and op-ex due to service consolidation. Most organizations have deployed some form of virtual infrastructure, in most cases resembling what folks would call a private cloud. Administrators are trying to get as much bang for their buck as they can out of their virtual infrastructures, and as a first step, many have migrated less demanding, non-critical, or less critical services into their private cloud. Getting to the next step often involves migrating more demanding, more critical services.
