I have been spending some time with this new technology for awhile. Apart from my interest in the CLR as hosted in SQL Server 2005, Service Broker is one of the most interesting new technologies to come along. As cross-posted on my other blog:
SQL Server 2005 Service Broker (presentation)
Service Broker is a framework built into SQL Service 2005 that greatly simplifies the creation of reliable, scalable, message-based, asynchronous, distributed database application. A service broker can manage business transactions, which in practice can last for hours, days or indefinitely and span databases. A Service Broker application consists of a set of services, queues, message formats, and dynamically created conversation. Any application that can make a connection to SQL Server or a web service can make use of a Service Broker application. This session will cover the basics of Service Broker and show the implementation of a Service Broker application.
This will be in addition to other topics I will be presenting at
Code Camp II.
