My name is Tom Pruett and I will be
hosting the security and Microsoft SQL Server Blog’s.
I have been teaching for 15 years and have been with the
company since 1997 (the IKON days). My experience
includes all Microsoft operating systems, SQL Server, programming
and security (CISSP, CEH and ChFI). In a way, you
could call me a jack of all trades. In addition to
being an instructor I have an outside consulting business
in which I take care of the networking needs of several
small businesses in the greater Kansas City area.
As for me personally I am married and
have a brand new baby girl, Madelined. I enjoy golf,
college and pro sports, hunting and fishing and also am
the proud owner of a 3 year old yellow lab Remy.
I am very excited about the upcoming
year, Microsoft is rolling out SQL Server 2008 and new security
products. So if you have any questions or if I can
help you out with information about SQL Server or Security
classes, please feel free to blog away.
That is all for now, I look forward
to seeing you in class and hearing from you. When
you come to Centriq, just ask for the big Mizzou instructor,
they will point you in the right direction.
SQL Server 2008 New Features - Is is worth the upgrade?

SQL 2008
SQL Server 2008 in my opinion will be more of a developers release. Most of the changes in SQL 2008 are releated to TSQL syntax improvements. However the new administration of SQL Server Policies will be a new feature for DBA's.
Here are a link to describe the new changes.
