We will go over basic indexing concepts for improving workloads. Finally, we will cover some coding patterns that are developer friendly but are not SQL Server database engine friendly and show you how to optimize them.

Troubleshooting SQL Server with Extended Events

                                                                                              

Description:

SQL Server is growing more complex and advanced as a database management system with every new release and additional technology or functionality.  With the expanding responsibility on supporting and troubleshooting the SQL Server environment in your organization, it is up to you to find the root cause of problems and fix them with a proven solution to the given issue.  The hardest aspect of resolving problems is the troubleshooting step, but thankfully SQL Server gives us the tools to be successful in pinpointing problems.  One of the most powerful tools is Extended Events, and it can be used to troubleshoot a large array of problems, from errors to performance bottlenecks.  Join Thomas Stringer, a Microsoft SQL Server Premier Field Engineer, as he dives into the finer points of the technology, and then shows common troubleshooting scenarios that are often quickly resolved with Extended Events.

  Data Architecture underpins just about everything we do in IT. Without a clear understanding of how data is structured, there is no reliable way to derive meaning from it. Data Architecture drives the design and governance of data systems, and thus should be of interest to any data professional. Data Architecture provides the blue-prints that we all share, whether we be DBAs, data integration developers, database developers, data warehousing professionals, data presentation developers or client-side application developers persisting data for later retrieval.

The PASS Data Architecture Virtual Chapter will focus on data architecture concerns as they impact users, developers and DBAs on the Microsoft SQL Server platform. We want to make data architecture accessible to all data practitioners, and drive the point home that Data Architecture is a set of practices and a body of knowledge that overlaps almost all database professionals to some degree.
