James Hamilton has recently joined the SQL Server development team where he is responsible for the post SQL Server Version 7 Parallel Cluster development work. Prior to that he spent a year in the Windows NT Base Systems group working on integrating diverse storage systems into the file system name space and security model. Before joining Microsoft, he spent 11 years at IBM, the last 6 of which he was the DB2 Universal Database Lead Architect. In the more distant past he managed the development of IBM's first C++ compiler and still admits to having worked on an Ada compiler with sales never quite escaping single digits. www.microsoft.com
