The Dark Art of Performance Tuning
Despite all of the enhancements to the instrumentation in SQL Server 2008, many database professionals still view performance tuning as a dark art.
In this session Peter Ward from WARDY IT Solutions (www.wardyit.com) will provide database administrators and developers with valuable information on SQL Server performance tuning concepts.
This presentation will walk you through proven performance tuning strategies and teach you how to use SQL Server tools to identify a performance bottleneck, isolate the root cause, apply possible resolutions, and then quantify performance improvements.
