- Locking and Blocking in Active Environments - Part 2 (Michael Zilberstein)
Most of us read or even tried demos with one session executing a SELECT query while another one is doing some DML operation. So we see locks, deadlocks, etc. But how many of us really have only 2 concurrent users in their environment? The real picture is tens, hundreds or even thousands of concurrent operations. So we have hundreds of SELECTs, tens of INSERT/UPDATE operations, some job that purges old data and probably another job that switches partitions in a sliding window scenario. How do we avoid blocking in the real life? That's what this session is about: Real-life scenarios and real-life tricks to avoid blocking.
Michael Zilberstein (Blog), database consultant and architect, 13 years of experience with SQL Server. Specializing in data-intensive applications in the broadest way - architecture, design and performance - both hardware and software. Besides SQL Server, Michael is passionate about hiking, chess and history.
Why:
-
Cause you can learn from the experts
-
Cause you can network with colleagues and other people in the industry
-
Cause there's some food and drinks
-
Cause there are prizes you can win
See you on August 5th...
Organizer Israeli Data platform meetup
Organizer of Israeli SQL Server User Group Meeting #133
The Israeli data platform meetup meets on the first Monday of every month. These meetings include professional talks by community experts, news and updates about SQL Server in Israel and in the world, and a great opportunity to meet with colleagues, get answers to professional questions, seek SQL Server jobs and employees, and enjoy the atmosphere.
These meetings cover all aspects of SQL Server, such as: server upgrade, performance tuning, security, development, high availability, etc. The group is composed of DBAs (both production DBAs and development DBAs), developers and system administrators. If you work with SQL Server and you still haven't join the group, you are invited to join us and become part of the community.
