Slides from the SQL Server Launch in Birmingham UK
During, what I hope was viewed as a successful day, many people asked where they could find the slides for the technical sessions.
You will be able to find them @ http://www.microsoft.com/uk/launchtour2005 - but you may have to wait a couple of days before they actually get loaded.
Hope those of you attended enjoyed the event. Wow - I found it incredibly hard work - three sessions on the trot - thought my brain was going come detached from my mouth.

Session Abstract: Get Ready for SQL 2005! - This session will explain the benefits of the new Unified Dimension Model (UDM) that underpins the On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) component of SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. The UDM represents a radically new approach to OLAP, seeking to combine the best aspects of OLAP with the best of aspects of On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP). This session will compare and contrast the OLAP engine in SQL Server 2000 with the UDM and explore the new architectural possibilities it offers. Also covered will be an introduction to the new data mining algorithms which will show how they can be employed to gain competitive advantage.
