Welcome to the website for the Olympia Area SQL Server User Group (OASSUG) in Thurston County, Washington. Our meetings feature excellent presentations plus the opportunity to network with SQL Server professionals. 

July 21, 2010 2:30 - 4:30 PM

Department of Health in Tumwater 

Speaker: Rick Morelan

Abstract:

Learn the basics and a few tricks to help your more advanced SQL transactions make sense. Concepts from chapter nine of Beginning SQL Joes 2 Pros are explained by author Rick Morelan. Isolation levels and table hints can be narrowed down to a few easy rules around just two questions. 1) What should SQL check before it allows data changes? 2) What should SQL show when someone else is making changes?

Call for Speakers

Greg Larsen is trying to put together a 6 month calendar of speakers and topics. Greg would like to start having two presentations per meeting. One topic could be a short 15 minute presentation and then the other could be a 60-90 minute topic.

If you have done something you think is noteworthy that others could benefit from, Greg would like to hear from you. Greg is willing to help you turn any ideas you have into a presentation. OASSUG is a user group, provided and supported by local area SQL Server users.

Remember you don’t have to do a full-blown 90 minute presentation; even just a short presentation would be a great way to support our local SQL Server user group.
