Semester Project Update: sqlblog.com

I updated my Yahoo Pipes mashup again. This time I added another YQL module and connected it to a feed from sqlblog.com. This is a site for SQL Server database administrators to blog about anything and everything SQL related. I setup my YQL module to filter the feed for blog postings about SQL Server 2008 SP1. We are currently upgrading to SQL Server 2008 and Service Pack 1 was just released for this version. What’s nice about the YQL module is you can simply update it with any string that you would like to search the feed on and it will return only feeds containing this string in the heading. This will be a handy resource to use when we want to see what other SQL DBA’s out in the field are blogging about.
