SQL Server Performance Tuning, Formula 1 Style
by Brent Ozar
At the SQLBits conference in Great Britain last fall, Brent Ozar gave a presentation called “T-SQL Tuning with Colin Chapman, Enzo Ferrari, and The Stig.” He covered:
- Why Colin Chapman would check for indexes before adding new ones
- The importance of well-tested safety gear to performance tuning
- Why not monitoring your servers is like overdriving your headlights
- Just like races are lost in the pits, uptime records are lost during maintenance windows
