Some of the concepts we will cover include:
- Ways to find code that’s slow:
- DMV’s like sys.dm_exec_procedure
- SQL Profiler and Server Traces
- Extended Events
- Writing your own logging code. (My favorite but it’s a lot of work)
- Functions:
- Why scalar and TVF functions are slow
- Finding high use functions with Extended Events
- Rewriting Scalar or TVF Functions as Inline Functions
- Stored Procedures
- Ways to make stored procedures faster
- TempDB
- Why it’s different
- @Tables vs #Tables
- #Table Caching
- Reducing I/O by removing Indexes on TempDB
- Avoiding DELETEs from Temp tables
- Using SELECT… INTO … instead of UPDATES and DELETES
- Divide & Conquer Strategy using Service Broker
Each technique will be illustrated using real examples from Andy’s SQL Server development work.
