Turbo-Charged Transaction Logs w/David Maxwell (@dmmaxwell)

Abstract:

The transaction log is one of the most critical, yet often misunderstood components of SQL Server. From out of control log growth to very long startup times, problems with the transaction log can cause a lot of pain. In this session, we’ll look at how the transaction log works and how to optimize it’s performance. You’ll learn how to determine the right settings for maximum throughput, and what to do when things get out of control.

Bio - A little about David:

https://dmmaxwell.wordpress.com/about/

My name’s David. I’m a Production Support DBA in Columbus, OH. While I know enough Integration Services or Reporting Services to get around, and I can spell “Analysis Services”, I think the database engine is really where it’s at. I like learning and taking stuff apart to see how it works. This blog is geared solely towards SQL Server, though I occasionally write on other topics elsewhere. If you’re actually interested in what I have to say, or in what I’m up to, feel free to comment on any of my posts, or follow me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/dmmaxwell), and send me questions there.

Thanks for reading,

-David
