Last Call to Arms: Michael Rys, SQL Team: Dublin tonight, Cork Friday

One last quick reminder that Michael Rys is in Ireland this week.  He's Program Manager for SQL Server's Query Technologies (SQL and XQuery).  He was Program Manager for many of the XML features in SQL 2000 and 2005 as well.

Tonight, Wednesday the 8th, he'll be speaking at the INDA Dublin usergroup on Building Distributed Service-Oriented Database Applications using SQL 2005.  The event starts at 7:00 at the Alexander Hotel.

On Friday the 10th, he'll be speaking at the INDA Cork usergroup on an Overview of SQL 2005 and a Deep Dive into XML and XQuery in SQL Server 2005.  It's a Friday, so the event starts at 5:00 - a perfect chance to catch a really interesting talk after work, and before the weekend.

Highly recommended.  Bring that tough question you always wanted to ask the guy from the SQL team! :)
