Load Balancing Architectures For Online Reporting DBs
Today, my awesome cohort John Halunen [T] and myself are presenting at our first SQL Saturday. #SQLSat68 is being hosted in Olympia, WA. I’m a little nervous but excited to be presenting on a topic that I work with daily, and one that has become second nature to me.
Here is our presentation, minus the notes. Next week I will be updating this page to point to a webcast. We will be re-recording our presentation and turning it into a webcast.
Enjoy!

Is there a heartbeat?
Dammit Jim, I’m a DBA not a doctor! On our servers we have heartbeats in our SQL Agent Jobs. A heartbeat is a start and end step that we put into each of our jobs. If you do use it, do you use the same terminology or do you have a different word for it? [...]
