- YouTube interview with HP CTO of Personal Systems Group (the way he’s staring at spokesgirl at the beginning is a little creepy if you ask me).
- Engadget
- and on and on :)
I was not aware of this! – “…using NEWSEQUENTIALID can be faster than using the NEWID function. This is because the NEWID function causes random activity and uses fewer cached data pages. Using NEWSEQUENTIALID also helps to completely fill the data and index pages.”
Update: After the initial euphoria wore off, my more experienced peers were quick to point out that “…the bummer is if you want to generate guids from the app and the database then you can't use sequential –Gregg Stark”… i.e. typically in these scenarios the reason you’re using a GUID in the first place is exactly because you need to generate the IDs from outside of the central database server context where the NewSequentialID() works it’s magic… so you really don’t get to take advantage of it’s index defragging potential (duh :(

These guys are awesome! Thank goodness I stumble on this stuff so late so they’ve had time to cough up 3 albums!! (2004, 2008, 2009)
Just kinda catching up with how “fun smart” this guy was… worked on the Manhattan project, all kinds of creative physics problem solving, “Original Prophet of Nanotechnology”, Nobel prize in Physics 1965, liked strip clubs, art and bongo drums… there are at least two semi-auto biographies out there in public circulation… I’m reading “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” right now… also a few enjoyable BBC Horizon videos featuring a fair amount of direct interview content: “The Pleasure of Finding Things Out (1981)”, “The Quest for Tannu Tuva (1988)” and “No Ordinary Genius (1993)”
