Catherine Ketcher, Editor, SearchSQLServer.com

My name is Catherine Ketcher. TechTarget devotees may recognize me from several sites I've worked on here over the years, most recently SearchWebServices.com. But I come to you now as the editor of a brand-new site in the Windows Media Group that I'm really excited about. It's called SearchSQLServer.com and it's dedicated to serving SQL Server developers, administrators and managers with the practical advice they need to maximize their SQL Server investment.

Our site gives you the latest news on SQL Server 2005 plus tips from industry experts on aspects of Windows-centric database design, development, administration and management. We deliver in-depth coverage on key topics such as backup and recovery, data integrity, security and performance tuning.

In our latest effort to provide Windows professionals like you with the specific, targeted info you need to do a great job, we invite you to take a moment to check out our site. Then, if there are DBAs in your organization who are bogged down with backups, sweating over security or performance perfectionists, pass this e-mail on to them. Use the links below to get started with a quick tour of SearchSQLServer.com. If you like what you see, sign up for our SQL Server Adviser tips and other updates and alerts here.

Thanks for your help in spreading the word!
