Microsoft Premier Workshop: SQL Server 2014: Performance Tuning and Optimization

Description

SQL Server 2014: Performance Tuning and Optimization is a four day course that provides an in-depth study into aspects of SQL Server that affect application performance.
Students will learn about the internals of the SQL Server engine such as the memory manager and task scheduler, table and index structures, locking and concurrency, query optimization and programming efficiency. Through lecture, demo and hands-on labs, students will discover the new performance-related features of SQL Server 2014. They will understand Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) and Extended Events, optimize queries, examine memory management and process scheduling, troubleshoot locking and blocking, and improve programming efficiency.

Technical Highlights

After attending this workshop, students will be able to:
•Analyze performance bottlenecks
•Design an effective index strategy
