SqlServer, Tune Like A Guru!

ADD TO CALENDAR...

In this Pre-Con event we will cover a wide array of topics that form the backbone of my SQL Server performance analysis and tuning work.

As a long-time relational engine consultant I have repeatedly found that the majority of clients I work with get amazing improvements by simply putting to use a fairly small collection of knowledge and tools. We will cover many topics, including:

  • Optimization processes
  • Statistics usage and maintenance
  • Index creation, usage and maintenance
  • Understanding query plans
  • Server and DB configuration
  • Improving design
  • Improving code
  • Profiler use and analysis
  • Temp object usage
  • Waits and IO stall analysis

We will look at all of these things and more from a variety of angles, while also covering many of the tips, tricks, tools, etc. I have collected in my almost 45,000 man hours of working with SQL Server. I promise you will come away with lots of immediately-applicable information which you can take back to work and Tune Like A Guru!
