The 20th consecutive monthly meeting of the SQL Server Sri Lanka User Group (SS SLUG) will be held on the 19th of November 2008 at Microsoft Sri Lanka. Sticking with the norm we have two sessions along with a special redgate segment ready for you.

Discussion 1: Transactions with SSIS by Supun Thrikawela

SQL Server Integration Services introduces a new method of handling multiple transactions from within a package. It also allows for distributed transactions and checkpoints. Join first time SS SLUG speaker Supun Thrikawela, as he shows you how transactions are implemented in SQL Server Integration Services.
(Duration: ~45 minutes)

Discussion 2: Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication by Dinesh Asanka (MVP)

Peer-to-peer replication provides a scale-out and high availability solution by maintaining copies of data across multiple server instances. Because data is maintained across the nodes in near real time, peer-to-peer replication provides redundancy, which increases the availability of data. Follow SQL Server MVP Dinesh Asanka as he explores the intricacies of peer-to-peer replication.
