In May 2011, I presented an Exclusive Microsoft VTD Webcast on the “Underappreciated Features of Microsoft SQL Server”. It was an exclusive webcast series wherein industry experts came in and presented on various topics to create a scalable and secure environment for solution with SQL Server 2008 (http://beyondrelational.com/blogs/nakul/archive/2011/04/29/exclusive-sql-server-webcast-series-on-security-amp-scalability-register-today.aspx).

The session went very smooth, and I was fortunate enough to have a strong following throughout the session. I presented the following underappreciated features during the session:

1. For Administration: Object Explorer Details and Object Explorer
2. For Development: Template Explorer and T-SQL Debugger

The presentation material is now available on the SQLServerFAQ MSDN blog and the webcast videos are available for download on MSDN.
