Would there be any interest in a free IE-based toolbar that you can install as part of IE that would allow you to easily access SQL-Server-Performance.Com, Microsoft's SQL resources, and other SQL Server resources on the web? Essentially, the tool bar would look like a Google toolbar, but have SQL Server resources on it. At any point if you didn't want to use it, you could easily uninstall it. If you are interested, which SQL Server resources would you like to see listed? ----------------------------- Brad M. McGehee, MVP Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com
Count me in. ALL SQL Server related links that any self-respecting DBA/developer could cram together in the dropdown of a toolbar. Nathan H.O. Moderator SQL-Server-Performance.com
nice idea but for me personally I wouldnt use it. I prefer just sticking search boxes and links on a static html which i use as my browser startpage (means I can use same environment whatever browser I happen to be be using). But I think it will still be a popular idea! What would also be interesting to me is some sort of RSS feed containing new articles, hot forum threads etc which I could then integrate into my start page or maybe webmasters could then integrate it into their websites bringing more people through to this site
I support usage of IE toolbar for SQL Server realted topics, which will be easy to search for any information related from this site and other MS related sites.

I think it is a good idea. I would certainly use it. I would add to the sites Satya had mentioned http://www.sqlsecurity.com/DesktopDefault.aspx http://vyaskn.tripod.com/

I concur with Chappy. I don't see myself using it. I would rather have all the links (because there are so many) in my favorites.

Fine as there is no immediate requirement I believe we are fine by current available resource. Satya SKJ Moderator http://www.SQL-Server-Performance.Com/forum This posting is provided “AS IS†with no rights for the sake of knowledge sharing.
