    Abstract

    Isn’t it amazing how well applications would scale with zero concurrent users? Fortunately for our careers, we often deal with the opposite problem: Lots of users, all working with the same data at the same time. This session starts with a discussion of the types of concurrency issues you might encounter, and then moves on to an analysis of techniques for solving the problems that concurrency brings to the table. We will look at both the tools SQL Server provides natively, as well as database and application design strategies that can help to maximize the user experience in highly concurrent applications.

    Abstract
    Come see a preview of what is coming in SQL Server 2008. This session will be demo heavy and we will be able to get a preview of some of the exciting new features of 2008 including Policy Management Framework, Performance Data Collection, Resource Governor, Encryption, Backup Compression, Change Data Capture, New Report Designer, and more. If, like most, you have been too busy with your day job to take 2008 for a test drive then this is a great opportunity to get a firsthand look at the continued investment Microsoft is making to ensure that SQL Server 2008 is the first choice for enterprise class, mission critical database workloads.
