On Saturday, 3/28, I presented Useful T-SQL Statements You May Not Be Aware Of at the 2009 Orlando .NET Code Camp. Despite some glitches with the projector I think the presentation went well. About 20 people came and there was a lot of good dialog, a few laughs, and even even something pretty unique – right in the middle of the presentation the space shuttle Discovery flew over Orlando on its way to landing at Kennedy Space Center and we heard the double sonic booms.
A lot of great questions were asked, including a few that stumped me. I promised to find out the answers and blog about them, but unfortunately I made the mistake of not writing them down at the time. If you were at my session and I didn't\couldn't answer your question, please leave a comment and I will make sure to get you the answer.
Because of a scheduling conflict I was only able to be there for my presentation, but from what I've read elsewhere – see here, here, here, and here – it was a great day for everyone who came.
I've posted my slide deck and samples for download below.

Hey thanks for a great presentation, and for posting the slides! (They're still not on the code camp site)
I've been rethinking a lot of my code with the MERGE, its incredible.
Yours was the ONE session that I really wanted to go to - I was one of the first attendee's in your room and the guys there said that you weren't going to make it so I skipped to another session - when I found out that you actually made it and I missed it I was pretty upset... I'm glad you are posting your slides so I can catch up :) Thanks!
