Topic: Tuna Helper for SQL Server DBA's

Many DBAs and developers are faced with tuning poorly performing SQL statements. There is no way to learn everything you need to know about SQL tuning in an hour, but you can learn a process to employ when badly written SQLs are ruining database performance. However, many tuning projects fail because the process being used is inefficient. This presentation will walk through a process Confio Software uses with great success and will include topics such as: SQL diagramming, wait type data, column selectivity, and several more that will help you succeed on future tuning projects.

Speaker: Dean Richards

Dean Richards has over 20 years of performance tuning, implementation and strategic database architecting experience. Prior to Confio, Dean was a technical director for Oracle Corporation managing technical aspects of key accounts including short and long-term technical planning and strategic alliances. Specifically, Dean has focused his entire career on performance tuning of Oracle and SQL Server environments.
