Details

We've had a speaker change! Grant Fritchey (@gfritchey (http://twitter.com/gfritchey)) will be presenting Statistics for the New Data Pro

Many performance tuning methods can get your queries to run faster. But the most important thing you can do to improve query performance is to ensure that you have provided the query optimizer within SQL Server with the best possible statistics. This session teaches you what statistics are, how they are generated, and their use within the optimizer. You can take home a better understanding of how the optimizer works with statistics, to write better T-SQL and build better database structures to avoid common issues such as bad parameter sniffing. Help the optimizer help you by maintaining your statistics and get improved query performance.
