Paul Nielsen and Louis Davidson have agreed to be interviewed on Less Than Dot.
Paul Nielsen is the author of SQL Server 2005 Bible and blogs at http://sqlblog.com/blogs/paul_nielsen/default.aspx.
Louis Davidson is the author of Pro SQL Server 2005 Database Design and Optimization and he blogs at http://sqlblog.com/blogs/louis_davidson/default.aspx.
Both of these authors have 2008 editions of their book coming out this year. So do you have anything in mind that you would like to ask them? In general try to keep it SQL Server related. I interviewed Louis before on my old blog and to give you a little ‘feel’ of what the interview will look like I pasted some links below. These links are all the interviews I have done so far with SQL people.

So if you have any questions, then leave a comment and I’ll make sure that I ask them these questions.
Denis has been working with SQL Server since version 6.5. Although he worked as an ASP/JSP/ColdFusion developer before the dot com bust, he has been working exclusively as a database developer/architect since 2002. In addition to English, Denis is also fluent in Croatian and Dutch, but he can curse in many other languages and dialects (just ask the SQL optimizer) He lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife and three kids.
