The key-note was, from my point of view, not telling something new. To keep me alive the following things worked
- ‘hammerizing’ a swich to proof the working of failover a mirrored SQL 2005 database … it worked … although I doubt the truth off the whole play … should you take the risk off a short-circuit with 6500 people are watching … anyway, they used a fancy avalon look for the performance monitoring, very nice.
- Putting a SUN micro on stage and start getting out the cpu fans to show that Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) will notice this and that MOM can control this machine.
- Showing the prices Oracle and DB2 in comparison with SQL server 2005. By default they differ not too much but when you need extra for you’re database several packages should be added with Oracle and DB2 but not by SQL server 2005. Result: extreme price difference … next topic: announcement of the free SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle V1.0
