This is so cool. I have been looking for a good SQL user group for a long time. I am part of some on Linkedin.com and other various ones around the Internet but this one is great. I know many companies are pushing to advance their structure in house. Many people who call themselves "Pro's" in SQL have not yet grasped SQL 2008. This group is a great way for those who are on the outside looking in to get well acquainted with a technology they might not always get dirty with. This is also a great way for those who are already in production with SQL 2008 to teach and mentor us "Newbies" on the proper protocol and procedures. I think this Sql 2008 user group is is one of the better maintained on the Internet. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Follow the link below to check out the group.
