AS 2005 - Resources
-
Just got to see a couple of wonderful resources on codeplex for Analysis services 2005. Upon the deployment of a Microsoft SQL server 2005 Analysis Services server, stress and performance testing is a common work for customers and field consultants. For a long time, people have been wanting for a tool that facilitates their work. We have heard numerous requests for such a tool - So here you go with this Version 0.0.0.1 of the tool. Must admit it has got a wonderful 58+ page document with it too.
The second one was on performance of AS MDX Scripts. Here is a tool again from the AS team for performance testing of your queries. Feel free to use them and pass the word around too :) ...

SQL Server 2005 Administration Overview
The world of the DBA is changing. DBAs now increasingly are asked by the organizations they work for to manage more systems with larger amounts of data, while at the same time organizations are trying to keep IT costs the same or even to lower costs. Simultaneously, DBAs are being asked to give more of their time to help corporate developers to understand data models and the best data access paradigms for building reliable applications that perform to the scale that the corporation requires. With these tensions, DBAs need more from their database technologies in terms of enterprise manageability, scalability, and availability. SQL Server 2005 provides the bedrock foundation that DBAs can bet on to build their next generation IT infrastructure. This session gets you started with SQL Server 2005 administration Basics.
