- Attendee URL

- Audio: will be through your computer speakers only, not the phone. Plug in those headphones, turn off the Lady Gaga, and get your learn on.
Topic: SQL Server Performance Tuning for Race Car Drivers
Times are tough even for the best drivers: Helio Castroneves is dancing for money and Danica Patrick is doing ads for what appears to be an adult services company. Maybe it’s time to switch careers, and I have just the thing. Use your hard-earned knowledge of high speeds, million-dollar hardware and surviving disastrous crashes to become a SQL Server performance tuner!
In this session, I will show you:
- 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
See you there!

Great! Thanks for publishing the invite.
By the way, I wonder why does Lady Gaga speaks Swedish in the video you posted?! 🙂
Ha! Being an ignorant American, I assumed it was French. She seemed like the kind of person who’d use French, but shows what I know.
Great presentation! Thanks for the ideas!
By the way, that folder of your scripts you mentioned… how much for it?… 🙂
Thanks! Sadly, I wrote most of those while employed at companies with rules about intellectual property, so I’m not sure if *I’M* even allowed to have them. 😀
How about a month of free coffee in return? 🙂
Awesome presentation yesterday! The points you made in using the sys tables wherever possible to spot issues was very cool. Knowing this previously would have saved me a lot of logging in the past….
