Pre Conference Abstract

If you are a Database Administrator or Consultant who is responsible for expert performance analysis, problem detection and tuning of the SQL engine then it is important you are able to analyse and tune SQL Server like a BOSS.

In this full training day, I will explain how to identify and resolve serious real world performance problems using concrete examples, demonstrations, possible effects and answers. I will provide over 40 scripts which can be used directly in the workshop on your own machines during the day and we shall simulate performance problems and look to resolve them using a top-down approach.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOP TO ANALYZE YOUR SQL SERVERS WITHIN THE WORKSHOP!
