How Service Broker Can Help You Achieve High Scalability

Speaker: Trent Mera of Quest

SQL Server includes the Service Broker, which provides a way to use queuing within your database application. Queuing (aka "asynchronous messaging") is simply the practice of dividing data processing tasks into pieces that can be performed independently, instead of always running everything together within a single transaction.

Service Broker is woefully underused. The bottom line is that queuing can provide huge improvements in the scalability of your SQL Server applications.

You'll learn:

The why and how of Service Broker
Ways that you already use queuing in your daily activities
The concepts and the code used to configure queuing

Quest does a good job of providing useful SQL Server training that is strictly separate from their sales demo. Just acquired by Dell, Quest has always been generous with resources for the SQL Server community. Check out:
