Completed – Advanced Transact SQL workshop – Hyderabad, January 2012

Hi Friends,

Continuing my commitment to clear the back log, here is my experience delivering advanced Transact SQL workshop for Microsoft engineers at India Development Center in Hyderabad.

This SQL Server training assignment in India was organized by Peopleware India – www.PeoplewareIndia.com

This was my second assignment of the year.

Prior to this assignment, I completed an SQL Server High Availability assignment – you can find that blog here: https://www.sqlservergeeks.com/blogs/AmitBansal/sql-server-bi/627/completed-sql-server-high-avalilability-assignment-%E2%80%93trivandrum-january-2012

An assignment from Microsoft is always challenging and this was no different. I have always found matured audience at Microsoft campuses and there is always something to learn from them while you deliver classes for them.

T-SQL workshops are always innovative in some way or the other. Just like a math problem can be solved in multiple ways, a query could be written in many ways. And its always so interesting when I show a demo where I compare performance of two queries giving the same output, a participant from the class comes up with another way of writing the same query, not always better in terms of performance :), but sometimes more simpler constructs. This time I fielded some fundamental questions related to semi-joins and anti-semi joins. And I realized that sometimes explaining fundamentals is more difficult than explaining advanced concepts.

   

This was a 2 day workshop and I thoroughly enjoyed this T-SQL workshop. The audience was very interactive and they liked my examples, and I was glad to make new friends, as always.

Food is always so good at Microsoft campus 🙂 and varieties too 🙂

Here are is the Pic from the class:

About Amit Bansal

Amit Bansal is always brainstorming around SQL Server. Despite working with SQL since 1997, he is amazed that he keeps learning new things every single day. SQL Server is AB's first love, and his wife does not mind that. He tries to share as much and spreads the SQL goodness. Internals and Performance Tuning excites him, and also gives him sleepless nights at times, simply because he is not a genius, but quite a hard worker and does not give up. It has been a long and exciting journey since 1997, you can read here: http://sqlmaestros.com/amit-bansal/ He is on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/A_Bansal
