How Well Do You Know SQL Server?

Webcast: SQL Server and SharePoint Data Integration
SharePoint’s Data View web part can do much more than just view data. It can serve as a complete front-end to your SQL Server (and other data store) information allowing you to create robust applications without writing code. In this session, you will see just how to create such an application including conditional graphics. You’ll even learn how to pass data from SQL Server into a SharePoint Designer workflow for business process automation.

How Well Do You Know SQL Server?
Do you think you know SQL Server pretty well? How about testing your knowledge. Beyond Relational is sponsoring a SQL Server quiz written by dozens of SQL Server MVPs.

According to the Quiz description, the "SQL Server Quiz is a platform to verify your understanding of SQL Server and enhance your SQL Server skills. Through SQL Server Quiz, we bring a series of questions on various SQL Server topics and will provide a platform for discussing, explaining and understanding the related SQL Server areas.

Each SQL Server quiz will be a series of 31 questions, managed by 31 quiz masters who are experts in SQL Server. Each quiz master will ask one question each and will moderate the discussions and answers and finally will identify the winner of each quiz. Each answer that is correct will get a certain score (between 1 and 10, where 10 is the best) the scores of all the 31 questions will be added up to identify the final winner."

Many of the Quiz Masters you know from articles and links posted on SSWUG. Cliick SQL Server Quiz to register for the quiz. It starts this Friday. And, you can sign up for reminders by Email, RSS, Twitter or Facebook. How cool is that? (my boy’s favorite phrase)

So, roll up your sleeves and go win a prize for your hard work learning SQL Server.
