I'm a relatively experienced SQL Server 2000/2005 development DBA/Programmer
but I'm up for a new position involving systems that are dealing in 1000s of
user transactions a second and I don't have any experience in that area.
Does anyone have suggestions for reading I can do to familiarize myself with
the specific hot points of that type of system?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

t
information. Does anyone else know of any articles more about the 'design'
aspects of high transaction databases?
