Actually, I do know of a publisher that tackles those specialized little books. They've put out one on Profiler and one on execution plans. I suspect they might be interested in doing one on indexes, especially if the right names were attached.Oh, them. Hmmm
HOWEVER, I'm not volunteering for this (right now anyway). I promised the family, no book projects until after the summer. Apparently I get cranky while I'm working on a book.
I wouldn't mind giving it a shot, however it's ramping up to the busy time of the year, TechEd in Aug and PASS in Nov, and usually work picks up massively just after TechEd. Plus there's a 'project' I'm involved in that's going to suck up a fair bit of July.
Yep
That's the first time I saw it.
EDIT: Rats, it quoted the wrong post.
Yes Lynn, it's the "let me google that for you .....

Hey Grant, I did not know that you brew your own beer... :w00t:
Actually, I haven't for about a year and a half. I miss it, but between writing projects and Scouts I don't have the time required to put out a good batch of beer.

I've never written a book. What would be the process of doing a group project like this? I wouldn't mind assisting in some way to make it happen, just don't know where to start.
I've only taken part in a book project, not run one or written a full book. If it's a group project someone has to coordinate, set up the outline, decide who does what, make sure it all fits together, etc (and that's not even getting started on the editing side)

Oh, I thought that was a digit. All this computer-ese is so confusing.

We have a working title!
Chapter headings anyone?

I thought an index was a scale for measurement. Isn't that why it's in all those performance questions?

And evidently a volunteer for the head author position. Well done.

Discussing this, just in jest will get the thread to 5000 posts pretty quickly.

Plus there's a 'project' I'm involved in that's going to suck up a fair bit of July.Assuming someone else doesn't take it on (Gus, Paul, Jeff), after November I might consider trying to help a bit. I'm not sure I've got the level of knowledge required, but I'm crazy enough to try anyway.
I'm with you here Grant. I probably don't know enough yet, but for me, the best part about writing an article or putting together a presentation is getting the in-depth knowledge. Then again for a subject this deep and technical, I'm not even sure I'd know where to start researching.
