How to improve performance of SQL Server Queries is a common topic of discussion among many of us. Much has been said, much has been discussed. Few days back, I had an interesting discussion with one of the Junior developers regarding performance improvement of SQL Server Queries. We discussed on how by using a separate hard drive for several database objects can right away improve performance. I suggested him that non clustered index and tempdb can be created on a separate disk to improve performance.
Of late, I have been using Twitter quite frequently, and I am gradually discovering its usefulness. I received a Direct Message (or DM in terms of twitter) asking if I can comment on the effect of normalization on the Index and its performance in one twit! Now honestly speaking, this was new for me. I never expected to be quizzed like this. If you are using Twitter, then you must be aware that one twit contains only 140 characters. I was supposed to give answer on such a big subject in just 140 letters. An interesting fact is that normalization and the Index are not really closely related. The right question should have been – what is the effect of normalization on performance?
In today’s article I have combined two different questions. I was fond of SQL Server Debugger feature in SQL Server 2000. To my utter disappointment, this feature was withdrawn from SQL Server 2005. However, because of loads of requests from developers it was re-introduced in SQL Server 2008. Let us learn about how to customize toolbars.
