I can't believe that I read the time wrong and arrived at just after 10pm BST only to find it all over!!! wait a pain in the ****!!!

oh well I'll just have to read the transcript I guess... <SIGH>

Hope you guys/gals enjoyed it

PS I had hoped to talk about
- index fragmentation
- index maintenance performance on tables without clustered indexes
- use of sqlvariant for storing auditing information rather than a column for each datatype
- best way to solve the optional search parameter problem (now usually solved with (

@var is null or col = @var )

hopefully some of this got covered anyway...
