I’ve been working on some new sticker and t-shirt designs, and I’m going to tease them in posts leading up to the event. This is the design I’m currently working on.
I had been watching Back to the Future movies with my kids, and I loved the future retro 80s > 50s diner scene. That’s what inspired this one.
No hoverboards yet, but hey, the future is young. I’ll be bringing these with me for precon attendees, though the design might change a little between now and then.
For more information about the event and my training day, see below.
This year at the PASS Data Summit, I’m presenting my precon The Foundations Of SQL Server Performance Tuning:
Whether you want to be the next great query tuning wizard, or you just need to learn how to start solving tough business problems at work, you need a solid understanding of not only what makes things fast, but also what makes them slow.
I work with consulting clients worldwide fixing complex SQL Server performance problems. I want to teach you how to do the same thing using the same troubleshooting tools and techniques I do.
I’m going to crack open my bag of tricks and show you exactly how I find which queries to tune, indexes to add, and changes to make. In this day long session, you’re going to learn about hardware, query rewrites that work, effective index design patterns, and more.
Before you get to the cutting edge, you need to have a good foundation. I’m going to teach you how to find and fix performance problems with confidence.
Goals:
Understand which metrics matter for performance
Using Extended Events and Query Store to find problems
Solving locking, deadlocking, and general query performance issues
A lot of the time when I teach performance tuning, I like to show attendees a specific query with some specific problem(s), and how I go about fixing those in different scenarios.
But a lot of the time when I talk to clients and other folks in the SQL Server community, they have a hard time even knowing where to start and what to look for.
In this session, I want to show you how I figure out what kind of shape a server is in, performance-wise, and how I use different clues to figure out which queries to go after.
Anyone can find a slow query; I want to find the queries that users complain about when their loading screens sit there spinning for a millennia. And that’s what I want to show you how to do.
Think of yourself like a conductor in front of an orchestra of totally untuned instruments. You may find some things:
