You Will Learn How To
- Design and implement high-performance databases for SQL Server
- Create indexes that optimize different types of queries
- Design transactions that maximize concurrency and minimize contention
- Interpret the data access plans produced by the query optimizer
- Minimize I/O by designing efficient physical data structures
- Analyze and cure performance problems using SQL Server's tools
Course Benefits High-availability database systems offer timely access to business-critical data. Microsoft SQL Server offers powerful features to maintain these vital systems. In this course, you acquire an in-depth knowledge of SQL Server's core components—the storage engine, lock manager and query optimizer. Through hands-on exercises, you gain the skills to implement a high-performance SQL Server database solution.
Who Should Attend Those responsible for increasing the performance and efficiency of SQL Server databases. Knowledge of SQL at the level of Course 532, " SQL Server Transact-SQL Programming," and a familiarity with logical database design are assumed.
Hands-On Training Hands-on exercises provide experience developing high-performance SQL Server databases. Exercises include:
- Monitoring and analyzing performance
- Developing a performance baseline
- Setting up a server-side Profiler trace
- Eliminating extent fragmentation
- Inspecting procedures in the procedure cache
- Creating indexes for different query types
- Improving performance with indexed views
- Implementing partitioning solutions

"After I attended my course, I explained to our manager that Learning Tree uses instructors who are actively working in the industry. Then a couple of colleagues took the same course, and they were very impressed as well. The outcome was that we now use Learning Tree. For me—out of all the places I've been—I find they have the best technical training."
