COURSE REVIEWS:
"It's not what I thought it would be. It covers limited topics and does not present a solid step by step approach to approaching a SQL server you've never had a dealing with and finding the performance issues and fixing them." -- Albert
"This is the 9th Mike West course I have taken. The dude really know his stuff and is able to relay to the listener in a very approachable way. Quick note if you do the exercises yourself - you want to give SQL Server time to "catch up" -- Apkambledev
"Good & very well explain especially the Live Demo step by step. The way explanation capture the attention to listen & very interesting." --Micheale.See

COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course focuses on making SQL Server perform more optimally.
In my first course we laid the groundwork by tuning OUR instances with a top down approach.
WE will continue on that path with this course.
Even though the course has the word “Advanced" in it, there's NOTHING COMPLICATED about taking what's in the course and applying it in the real word.
It's “advanced" in that I'll take more time explaining how to implement these recommendations.
The course is still very much a "buttons and Knobs" course. This simply means WE won't dive too deeply into the minutia. We are still going to focus on items that are easily implemented. Some features will have a level of contention associated with them in the SQL Server community. It will be up to you decide to implement or not.
Additionally, some of the concepts may be new to even more senior level resources so I want to make sure I'll cover the why of the topic as well as the how.
This course will give YOU deeper insight into what it takes to become a skilled PERFORMANCE TUNER. Once thought of as an art, performance tuning is nothing more than a series of processes that seek to accomplish TWO basic goals.
The FIRST one is to increase the response time for a given transaction or set of transactions.
The SECOND one is reduce resource consumption. On the surface this sounds simple but nothing could be further from the truth.
Take the next step on YOUR performance tuning journey and SIGN UP now.
Who Should Attend!
- If you have basic understanding of SQL Server and want to learn how to tune and optimize a SQL Server then this course is for you.
- This course is not a beginner’s course. Most of the students will be mid-level to senior SQL Server resources.
- You'll need to be familiar with transact SQL and have a strong grasp navigating SQL Server Management Studio.
- My first is not required but it will help build a foundation for some of these more complicated topics.
