Performance Issues and Patterns – Joseph Sack

Abstract: While a SQL Server professional may encounter various one-off situations over the course of a career, there are also several shared patterns and scenarios. In this session we’ll walk through a few of these patterns interactively – where I’ll reproduce the issue and we’ll work through the scenario until we get to the root cause.
