Professional SQL Server 2005 Performance Tuning released
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0470176393/ref=s9_asin_title_1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1H851J8GCPJE25PHWM77&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=139045791&pf_rd_i=468294
I've had a couple of e-mails from people in the US that have had their copies delivered today so Wiley/Wrox seem to be ahead of schedule:) It was due for release in the US on 29th Jan and 8th Feb in the UK.
I'm particularly pleased with the chapter on Tuning and Hardware and OS in which I cover things like PAE, AWE, 64-bit, Hyper-Threading and disk sector alignment in-depth but in a way that I hope will be accessible to a wide audience and the chapter on SQL Server Wait Types which I'll be using as the basis of a session at the SQLBits conference in Birmingham, UK on 1st March. More details here: http://www.sqlbits.com. I'll hopefully have some copies of the book from Wiley to give away so come along if you're able to!
