SQL Server 2005 Advance Performance tuning training; recommendations anyone?

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm searching for instructor-led training in regards to SQL Server 2005 advance performance tuning. Training facility must be in Canada or US, but ideally in Montreal (QC).

    I've been pretty good at it since SQL 7 and 2000 but I am not perfect, so I want to get better. I want to learn the new tricks and performance killers with SQL 2005 and up.

    Does anyone have recommendation for me?

    Thanks, I appreciate your help.

  • Thanks Grant,

    I heard about Solid Quality Mentors.

    I see on their site that they offer course named "Microsoft SQL Server Performance Tuning Bootcamp". The mentor is Randy Dyess. I saw this guy once at DevTeach in Montreal. He knows his stuff. This training is more on the server and DBA side.

    As for Itzik Ben-Gan, he teach the "Advanced Transact-SQL Querying, Programming and Tuning for SQL Server 2000 & 2005". This looks pretty interesting too. This training is on the development side.

    Both training are very interesting. Taken both class would be great.

  • I have training from Kalen Delaney. It is good. She wrote the book
