What we’re about
The New England SQL Server User Group, a member of the Azure Data Community, is one of the oldest user groups focused on the Microsoft Data Platform. Our meetings feature high-quality presentations on all aspects of the database engine and its related features wherever the data lives - on prem, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
We strive to have an inclusive environment with speakers of all backgrounds represented. We also support and encourage our local community members getting started as speakers by providing opportunities to speak at the meetings. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for all to network, grow and learn with others.
This is a FREE group that meets the second Wednesday of every month (usually). We meet at the Microsoft offices at 5 Wayside Road, Burlington, MA. RSVPs generally open up 1 week prior to the meeting. An email will be sent out announcing the meeting. We look forward to seeing you.

The Foundations Of SQL Server Performance Tuning by Erik Darling
Are you tired of slow database queries and sluggish response times?
Join us for an exciting in-person event at Microsoft Burlington where SQL Server expert Erik Darling will share his knowledge on performance tuning.
Erik will cover the best practices, tips, and tricks to optimize your SQL Server for maximum speed and efficiency. This is your opportunity to enhance your database performance tuning knowledge.ABSTRACT
Whether you want to be the next great query tuning wizard, or you just need to learn how to start solving tough business problems at work, you need a solid understanding of not only what makes things fast, but also what makes them slow.I work with consulting clients worldwide fixing complex SQL Server performance problems. I want to teach you how to do the same thing using the same troubleshooting tools and techniques I do.
I'm going to crack open my bag of tricks and show you exactly how I find which queries to tune, indexes to add, and changes to make. In this day-long session, you're going to learn about hardware, query rewrites that work, effective index design patterns, and more.
Before you get to the cutting edge, you need to have a good foundation. I'm going to teach you how to find and fix performance problems with confidence.
