SQL Server Magazine Announces Innovator Awards

Have you scaled out a system with SQL Server 2000's federated database support or implemented OLAP or data mining to give decision makers the power to analyze data? Have you used SQL Server's XML functionality to develop Web services and platform-independent applications. SQL Server DBAs and developers often create innovative technical solutions to problems or devise unique ways to enhance programs or system features to improve performance or return on investment. These creative thinkers have an opportunity to gain recognition for their efforts through SQL Server Magazine's second annual Innovator Awards competition.

The magazine is accepting entries for the awards through email and fax until August 1. An awards review committee will select one top winner and three runners-up who will all receive pewter mug trophies. The top winner will also take home the SQL Server Innovator's Cup traveling trophy to keep for the next 12 months and will receive free round-trip airfare, three nights lodging at the conference hotel, and a complimentary registration to the SQL Server Magazine Connections Conference in Palm Springs, California, October 12 through 14.
