Just over a month since SQL Server 2008 went to RTM and the first Cumulative Update (CU1) has been released. Bob Ward, a very good friend of mine, and a Principal Escalation Engineer in the SQL Server Product Support team published a detailed blog post on Friday explaining how to get it and install it. If you’re not subscribed to the PSS blog, you should be. They post a ton of great info on how things work and how to work around bugs. Bob just blogged again today about how SQL Server 2008 Setup itself can be patched – not a trivial problem to engineer around. Checkout the PSS blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/psssql/default.aspx.

RunAs Radio interview on indexes (and future projects…)

For the first time in ages, Kimberly sneaked in an interview without me! I was teaching a class on Database Maintenance for some Microsoft DBAs and Kimberly recorded a RunAs Radio interview on her favorite subject – indexes. I love listening to her talk about indexes – or maybe I just like the sound of her voice :-) Check it out at http://www.runasradio.com/default.aspx?showNum=76. Enjoy! PS She also drops some hints about an upcoming project of ours…
