How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Huh? What happened to Part II?
It's coming Monday, had some technical problems that we needed to fix first.
But this one is fun. You get to meet more of the team that makes SQL Server (notably Soner Terek, development manager, and Edmund vonAllmen, test manager -- on Tuesday they'll take you to see the HP SuperDome, which we have a picture of here -- 2500 hard drives and a terabyte of RAM, whew!). And you get inside another of SQL Server's labs.
Yvonne MacKay leads off this segment, though, with a look inside another one of SQL Server's labs.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Actually Yvonne and I worked together in Scotland before coming to work for SQL Server, as did Donald Farmer the GPM for SQL Server Integration Services (DTS). We all worked at a startup in Aberdeen and all came over at different times.

It was interesting that the on a redevelopment wish list basis the Engine might see more pipe lining. Was this a reaction or anticipation to the fact that multi-processer machines are the way forward?
The other comment about interfacing to the CLR. Are we likely to see the Engine written entirely in managed code at some point? It seems to be the sensible thing to do.
Thx
BTW, this SQL series is fascinating
So, what's wrong with that? <grin/>
In terms of architecture I think it is just a reflection of where we are seeing the workloads that we support heading that Soner wants to go in this direction. Remember we had no idea about adding XML, Service Broker or SQLCLR to the egnine when it was being re-designed for SQL7 back in the 96/97 timeframe and we have been able ot add all of those in this release. I think it has evolved very effectively.
In terms of a managed database its a great question, not in the near term but maybe longer term, yes. One of the most important assets in the database is memory and its management, one of the reasons we need the Whidbey version of the CLR for hosting is that we get more control of memory allocation and garbage collection than we do with VS2002/3, we need that in the database to make sure we get the right performance characteristics. SQL Server has its own memory, thread and disk management, we need to be able to have that level of control to be able to truly perform.
