Why We Started SQL Server Club

SQL Server Club is a free community knowledge base for developers, database administrators and IT pros who work with SQL Server. Run by Norb Technologies, SQL Server Club came about as a result of a rather large collection of technical articles and fixes to solutions. As developers of software ourselves, we also face the many hurdles of development and administration and decided to share these with the SQL Server world. We aim to bring our real-world experience to our articles and cover topics not addressed elsewhere on the web.

Norb Technologies

Norb Technologies is a UK based software house focused purely on developing performance tuning software for SQL Server. Our aim is to build top quality products at decent prices. Ideas for our products come from working in the field as developers and DBAs and we are proud to be the first company to launch an automated index defragmentation tool for SQL Server. If you'd like to know more about us and our products you can visit our web site at www.norbtechnologies.com.

Facebook Groups

Everyone is welcome to join the SQL Server Club and Norb Technologies groups on Facebook. Here you can post a message to other members, link to related web sites (including your own), join an existing discussion or start a new one for a topic you want to chat about.

We also have a SQL Server Club page and a Norb Technologies page that you can become a fan of. On the Norb page you can discuss our products, suggest new features, participate in conversations and join the beta testing programs for up and coming software releases.

Please feel free to make postings and contributions to any of our sites, groups or pages.
