Topic:
Ever sat down in front of a badly performing SQL Server and wondered where to start in fixing it? In this session I’ll take you through the methodology that I use on my client’s servers to identify, diagnose and fix all manner of performance problems. We’ll look at perfmon counters and wait stats, extended events and DMVs and come up with a list of the most critical things that need fixing.
