Today, I am going to talk about my the most anticipated pre-conference 21 Essential Scripts: Jump-Start Performance Tuning for Accidental DBAs scheduled at PASS Summit 2018. This session is going to be amazing fun and very unique. It is full day demo-oriented learning session. I have previously blogged about it here.
I personally consider DBA’s superheroes as they have quite a lots of different responsibilities. They are responsible for quite a lots of different tasks from like – performance, security, backup, restore, monitoring, high availability, infrastructure, vendors, upgrades, compliance etc. While DBA’s are doing multiple different tasks, they often can’t pay attention to anyone task which they want to focus. For example, many DBAs often wants to focus on performance tuning area but they are not able to focus on this area because they are quite frequently pulled in various different directions.
Well, my pre-conference is for everyone who just wants to take their performance tuning expertise to next level but does not have enough time to spend learning about this topic. In this pre-con, I am going to share 21 unique and extremely essential scripts which every DBA’s must have if they want to keep the performance of their system to next level.
Here is the 200 seconds video where I discuss what I am going to present at PASS Summit 2018 in my pre-conference 21 Essential Scripts: Jump-Start Performance Tuning for Accidental DBAs – PASS Pre-Con 2018. Please note that there are very limited seats available in each pre-conference, so if you ware thinking about registering for this pre-conference, do not delay at all. If you miss this pre-conference this year, I am not sure when and where this will be offered again.
Remember there are plenty of scripts available on the internet, this session contains the curated 21 scripts and with the detailed explanation of how to use the same to get maximum benefit out of it.
