SQL Server® Execution Plans for Developers and DBAs

Learn to make sense of what SQL Server is doing when it's running your queries

Course Summary

 

One of the most important skills I provide when working at customer sites, is the ability to fix performance problems.  And a key aspect of that is the ability to make sense of execution plans for the queries that are causing issues.  

Have you worked with SQL Server or Azure SQL Database?  

Do you think execution plans are important but wish you could make more sense of them?  

Do you know the most important things to check for when you're reading execution plans?  

Are you wondering what spools are used for, or asserts, or wonder how parallelism, cursors, and query hints affect plans?  

Do you think you know the basics but know it's time to extend your knowledge by learning from an expert?  

Look, if any of these apply to you, I hope you'll join me because this course is for you.  And as well as detailed instruction, the course has optional practical exercises and quizzes that will help you reinforce your learning.

And yet another course where I learned so very much! I've really enjoyed this series of courses. Now I can make sense of execution plans for SQL Server queries. They used to be a bit of a mystery for me.

Thank you so much !
