Speakers - Paul Randal and Kimberly Tripp

Title: Essential Database Management - Top Ten Recommendations

Abstract: 
In this session, Paul and Kimberly will run you through their top-ten 
database maintenance recommendations, with a lot of tips and tricks
along 
the way. These are distilled from almost 30 years combined experience 
working with SQL Server customers and are geared towards making your 
databases more performant, more available, and more easily managed (to
save 
you time!). Everything in this session will be practical and applicable
to a 
wide variety of databases. Topics covered and myths debunked include: 
backups, shrinks, fragmentation, statistics, and much more! Focus will
be on 
2005 but we'll explain some of the key differences for 2000 and 2008 as 
well.
