SQL Server 2012 Optimization, Performance Tuning and Troubleshooting

Transcription

1 1 SQL Server 2012 Optimization, Performance Tuning and Troubleshooting 5 Days (SQ-OPT EN) Description During this five-day intensive course, students will learn the internal architecture of SQL Server and the typical environments it operate in. This will enable them to better diagnose problems and improve the performance of their SQL Server environments. Students will also dive through the various bottlenecks of SQL Server, learn how to optimize them, and troubleshoot common problems. Target Audience This course is intended for: SQL Server administrators who are responsible for monitoring, troubleshooting and optimizing database servers and installations SQL Server developers who are responsible for developing efficient SQL Server queries and stored procedures Prerequisites Before attending this course, it is recommended that students have the following skills: Experience with SQL Server Understanding of database concepts Experience with SQL Server administration Experience with Transact-SQL programming Knowledge of SQL Server Performance Tuning concepts Course Objectives Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to: Configure database physical storage and filegroups Manage database compression Troubleshoot common virtualization problems Troubleshoot and optimize locking and concurrency issues Optimize and maintain statistics Read, understand and troubleshoot complex execution plans
