Joel: I have only been there once - last year. Is that the place across the street from the main lobby of Moscone West? (where registration tables are?) I will plan on being there. I am attending the weekend DataCenter Management seminar.

If anyone is stopping by the Veritas booth there ... would you mind asking them exactly why the mssql$bkexec service (embedded service within Backup Exec 9.1) requires 1.74 G of virtual memory? Are they attempting to generate sales for their performance tuning tools by killing server resources? Are they attempting to give dbas more ammo for uninstalling win32 OSes and installing Linux? Didn't Gaja V. work there for awhile? Maybe this is Gaja's fault :) Pd
