Thank you dave p and Jason,

Thanks for adding to this list. I am very much interested both of you.

Jonathan is great guy (my friend) and I have missed his session in the list for sure.

Kind Regards,
Pinal

Hi Pinal,

I hope to have the chance to meet you at PASS this year.

I think your list of sessions is pretty good but I think you forgot two that should be pretty good.

http://summit2009.sqlpass.org/Agenda/SpotlightSessions/SQLServer2008ExtendedEventsPerformanceProfi.aspx

http://summit2009.sqlpass.org/Agenda/SpotlightSessions/SQLServerCoveringConceptsConcernsCosts.aspx

If you have a chance to come to either of those maybe we can sit together and we can talk about SQL Server.

Have a lucky day

Trying again since my last comment didn’t seem to make it through (moderated?)

You seem to have missed the Extended Events sessions. This is an extremely important new technology for performance and troubleshooting. I’ve been reading about it and it is extremely powerful. Some information here:

Hi Pinal,
I work with SSIS 2008 extensively. Would like to get the slides/transcript for Rushab’s SSIS Session if possible after the PASS event is over.

Thank you
Ramdas
