Last Thursday's AdSSUG meeting

I think it was probably the topic. It certainly wasn't rumours of my humour being good. ;)

The caterer tells me we had 62 people turn up last Thursday to hear Peter Myers' talk on SSIS. I counted at least 50, but I'm happy to go with his number. My next trick will be to get them all to register.

It was certainly a great talk - very useful introduction to SSIS. Great feedback from everyone too. There are rumours of the Melbourne version being recorded for a webcast - if I can find a link for that, I'll post it here too.

The slides are available at http://www.sqlserver.org.au/resources/ViewResource.aspx?resourceId=52.

This last one is the link to register for a 2-day event - April 6 & 7 in Adelaide, at which Peter will be teaching on Business Intelligence. Should be worth going to...
