Performance Tuning Methodology by Buck Woody

There are a lot of presentations on performance tuning SQL Server – from adding or changing indexes to optimizing your hardware storage subsystem. But how do you find out that the bottleneck you’re facing is caused by an index or hardware issue to begin with? In this seminar, Buck Woody – Microsoft’s “Real World DBA” with over 22 years of DBA and Data Architect experience will teach a proven methodology for tuning your systems, without bogging down on the details of the Dynamic Management View and Graphical tools. By following this methodology you’ll learn how to baseline your systems and which best practices to follow to track your system’s use over time. Along the way Buck will introduce you to the newest tools in SQL Server 2008 for performance tuning, and which can be used with SQL Server 2005 and earlier.
