I've stopped supporting ancient versions of SQL Server, and you should, too. I've cleaned up a lot of old, no longer relevant information.

I reveal details about the changes to Availability Groups that will ship in SQL Server 2016.

I highlight a handful of Connect items aimed at improving SQL Server showplan diagnostics and query tuning in general.

I walk through a solution that allows you to achieve some of the benefits of partitioning, without the Enterprise Edition price tag.

I share a few of the queries I use to quickly hone in on changes that have been implemented between SQL Server CTPs.
