Pinellas - Monthly Meeting

Statistics, an Unreliable Friend presented by Magnus Ahlkvist

You learned that your statistics should be regularly updated. You even implemented Ola Hallengren's maintenance scripts. That should be enough, right? What if it's not?
Join me on some head-ache, a dive into statistics histograms, fun with flags and a praise to the evolution of SQL Server optimizer.
Much of this session is about the "ascending key problem", and how Microsoft have made shanges to the SQL Server optimizer to improve, but not completely eliminate the problem.

Magnus Ahlkvist is Microsoft Data Platform MVP with 20+ years of database experience. Magnus is father of two, scout leader, football coach and data platform community organiser.

He tweets at @transmokopter.

The door will open at 6pm and presentation starts at 6:30pm.
