We’ve added two new one-day pre-conference classes to our 2015 calendar:

SQLSaturday Boston Pre-Con: Developer’s Guide to SQL Server Performance – You’re stuck with a database server that’s not going fast enough. You’ve got a hunch that the biggest bottleneck is inside the database server somewhere, but where? In this one-day class, you’ll learn how to use powerful scripts to identify which queries are killing your server, what parts of the database server are holding you back, how to tackle indexing improvements, and how to identify query anti-patterns. The class is just $99 – learn more now. (Class done)

SQLRally Nordic Copenhagen: Performance Tuning When You Can’t Fix Queries – Brent is flying over to Rally again! Here’s the abstract: Your users are frustrated because the app is too slow, but you can’t change the queries. Maybe it’s a third party app, or maybe you’re using generated code, or maybe you’re just not allowed to change it. Take heart – there’s still hope. Brent Ozar does this every week, and he’ll share his proven methodologies to performance tune with indexes, SQL Server configuration switches, and hardware. Learn more now. (Class done)
