SQL Server is my favorite database platform and I enjoy working with T-SQL as well. The most interesting part is that when we are working with SQL Server, we get to work with SQL Server Management Studio aka ‘SSMS’. I make my living by Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check and one of the constant struggles which I see of my client is to use SSMS Efficiency.
In today’s blog post we are going to see 5 SQL in Sixty Seconds videos which are focusing on SSMS efficiency only.
