Thanks for passing this along. I had never heard of this group myself (I'll
accept that blame, if it's been mentioned here before). Just followed their
events/announcements. Thanks, Don.

> The Performance Virtual Chapter has some new leadership and is
> rebooting the group. We would love for you to forward this email to
> your groups as we reboot this VC and kick off the new year with our
> first meeting this Thursday. Here is the information, and thanks for
> helping spread the word in the community for us!
> Our speaker this month is Jason Strate. Jason will be presenting
> "Discovering the Plan Cache".
> Topic Abstract:
> Execution plans are stored after execution in the plan cache. This
> metadata about how queries are executed can provide insight into how
> your SQL Server environment is functioning. By using XQuery to browse
> and search the plan cache you can find potential performance issues and
> opportunities to tune your queries. This information can be used to
> help reduce issues related to parallelism, shift queries from using
> scans to using seek operations, or discover exactly which queries are
> using what indexes. All of this and more is readily available through
> the plan cache. In this session we will explore the plan cache and
> start you on the road to discovery.
> Speaker:
> Jason Strate, Digineer Inc, is a DBA with over fifteen years of
> experience. He is a recipient of the Microsoft Most Valuable
> Professional (MVP) for SQL Server since July, 2009. His experience
> includes design and implementation of both OLTP and OLAP solutions as
> well as assessment and implementation of SQL Server environments for
> best practices, performance, and high availability solutions. Jason is
> a SQL Server MCITP and participated in the development of Certification
> exams for SQL Server 2008.
