Full day PreCon Practical Performance Analysis in Melbourne at Asia & Australia Tour 2018
/0 Comments/in Azure, Conferences, HADR, AlwaysOn, Locking & Blocking, Performance, SecurityAs it has almost become a habit by now for me, I will be touring Asia this summer. This year not only Asia, but for the first time also Australia.

Optimizing workflows with In-Memory and Natively Compiled Objects – or how it does not work
/3 Comments/in In-Memory OLTP/XTP, HTAP, Locking & Blocking, Performance, SQL Server 2016, Storage EngineDuring the course of optimizing data-access-code with the In-Memory-functionalities in Microsoft SQL Server (memory optimized tables + indexes, memory optimized table valued parameters and natively compiled stored procedures), you may often realize that sometimes you go one step forward and then another one backwards.

Conferences 2013: Frankfurt Database Days and a couple of “Oracle-Moments”

Locking & READONLY Filegroups vs READONLY Databases
/0 Comments/in Extended Events, Locking & Blocking, PerformanceThe Topic Locking and Read-Only for filegroups and databases is one of the ongoing myths around SQL Server in forums – and at least half of the information unfortunately wrong.
