= About SQL Server Geeks =
sqlservergeeks.com is an online community for sharing technical tips, tricks,
code, and other information relating to Microsoft SQL Server. Here you will
find an ever expanding library of articles to help you develop applications
running off of SQL Server. The sqlservergeeks.com editorial team contributes
over 100 years of experience of designing, developing, tuning, maintaining,
and migrating SQL Server databases and writing the applications that make the
most of them.
== We're Focused on Microsoft SQL Server ==
There are several good DBMS options out there today. Several good ones in fact.
Our goal is to provide a site with focus. More often than not, the internet is
filled with so much information you have to wade through larger and larger
amounts of irrelevant content to find what you are looking for. While we think
MySQL and Oracle are great products on their own, we'll let other sites cover
those areas, and when you're here you're talking SQL Server.
== Performance is Key ==
In general, a great number of the challenges in developing database applications
involve tuning performance. Building smarter queries, choosing indexes,
statistics, and table structure wisely, and taking advantage of special features
in the DBMS that yield better performance. We really get into this stuff. We
have contests about this stuff. It can never be fast enough, and this site
can help you find ways to take your application performance to the next level.
== Totally Subscription-Free ==
You won't be asked to pay for a subscription to our site.
We have no intention of asking you
ever. We think the basic advertising model on the internet today can cover the
cost of maintaining this site without asking for money. We hope this makes you
come back here more often, and contribute to the community.
== Constant Improvement and Contributions ==
You should notice that this site will continually grow not only in content, but
also functionality. We intend to expand the functionality of the engine driving
sqlservergeeks.com until it is one of the top content management systems for
the Microsoft platform. We hope to release this system to the public
eventually. Until then, we're open to suggestions and even offers to help
with the development. Drop us a line if interested.
