I had the pleasure to present in front of one of the biggest and best SQL Server User Groups in Australia and as Greg Linwood proudly (justified so) said – in the world. As I promised I have uploaded the presentation materials to this blog and you can find links to the slides, MDX scripts I run and some useful links below. As a side announcement, Darren Gosbell is now officially in charge of the Melbourne SQL Server User Group. I am sure that his passion for SQL Server will lead to great results and we will be able to enjoy a strong stream of speakers in the coming years.
To everyone who attended tonight – Thank You for coming and for giving me great reviews!
