Invitation to T-SQL Tuesday #014
Hello and welcome to the first T-SQL Tuesday of 2011!
2010 was a great year for T-SQL Tuesdays, dreamed up and instigated by Adam Machanic (blog, Twitter) in December of 09 (see his recent blog T-SQL Tuesday Meta Roundup). So tell us, Adam…what is a T-SQL Tuesday?
Each month a blog will host the party, and about a week before the second Tuesday of the month a theme will be posted. Any blogger that wishes to participate is invited to write a post on the chosen topic. The event is called “T-SQL Tuesday”, but any post that is related to both SQL Server and the theme is fair game. So feel free to post about SSIS, SSRS, Java integration, or whatever other technologies you’re working with in conjunction with SQL Server. Even if your post includes no T-SQL we still want to see it.
Sa-weet. The topic I have chose for the inagural 2011 T-SQL Tuesday is….wait for it…….
Resolutions!
So tell us: what techie resolutions have you been pondering, and why? Are you heading for a certification? An award? Are you looking to pick up CLR because that guy at the Summit said it’s “bitchin’”? Go crazy…

- Advertise! Include a reference to T-SQL Tuesday in the title of your post.
- Tweet! Use the hash tag #TSQL2sDay to follow links and other relevant conversations.
