Do you have users complaining that applications are running "too slow"? Do your database traces look like a short story written by monkeys at typewriters?

This is a fun, fast-paced walkthrough of the most effective strategies for query tuning. We'll investigate the most common causes of sub-optimal queries (and some quite unusual ones) while building a foundation for solving any optimization problem that the application throws your way!

Query optimization is rooted heavily in data architecture, therefore this session will include both performance tuning techniques and development best-practices to build apps that are less likely to generate bad queries.
