Moving to NoSQL with Couchbase
Maybe change is already happening, maybe you are just keeping up with technology shifts. Sooner or later somebody is going to talk to you about moving your relational database to NoSQL. In this session you will learn some of the core differences and similarities between SQL Server and Couchbase.
Investigate TempDB like Sherlock Holmes
The system database TempDB has often been called a dumping ground, even the public toilet of SQL Server. (There has to be a joke about spills in there somewhere). In this session, you will learn to find those criminal activities that are going on deep in the depths of SQL Server that are causing performance issues. Not just for one session, but those that affect everybody on that instance.
After this session, you will have learned how to architect TempDB for better performance, how to create code more efficiently for TempDB, understand how space is utilised within TempDB, and have learned about queries and counters that will help diagnose where your bottlenecks are coming from.
