There's SQL Server Magazine:

http://www.winnetmag.com/SQLServer/

WinnetMag should have a number of other computer related magazines available as well. Truthfully though, most of what you'd read in the magazine is available online for free, if you do a little Googling.

They do publish it in paper form, it should be available at most large bookstores or newsstands. If you're not in the U.S., you can try contacting them to see whether they publish the magazine overseas.

I just started subscribing to RSS feeds from eWeek to keep a pulse on the industry. They have several different categories from Databases to Development to CIO Insight, etc.

Also, look at http://www.dbta.com . They have several you can subscribe to. The ones on database technology and integration are good snapshots to read.
