Forte on SQL 2005
New York Regional Director Stephen Forte talks with Carl and Rory about many cool things, including SQL Server 2005 (Yukon). He's got some good advice for how to get the most out of it. As well, the conversation turned to clustering and RAID strategies. This was a great talk with one of the Northeast's sharpest .NET minds, not to mention mountain climbers and extreme... well, let's just say he's extreme and leave it at that.
