You’re comfortable writing queries to get the data you need.
But you’re uncomfortable if someone asks you how it works, how SQL Server and Azure SQL DB turn your queries into results. You know there are execution plans, but … you’re uncomfortable reading them. You know queries need indexes, but you’re not sure which columns to put in order, or how SQL Server chooses between them.
I’d like to teach you How to Think Like the SQL Server Engine for free.
In a 2-hour live session, you’ll learn the differences between clustered & nonclustered indexes, why seeks aren’t necessarily good and scans aren’t necessarily bad, why queries run so much faster in development than production, and much more. I wanted to design the most important concepts you could learn in your first 2-hour training session – whether you’re a developer, report writer, sysadmin, or DBA.
I’m doing 2 live sessions in different time zones:
- Weds, Nov 15 10AM-Noon Eastern, 7AM-9AM Pacific
- Thurs, Nov 16 3PM-5PM Eastern, Noon-2PM Pacific

Excellent classes always.
Aww, thanks!
Both links in the registered email are for Nov 15th FYI
Sorry about that! Fixed.
I never miss an opportunity to learn at the feet of the master for free.
I won’t be able to attend these training sessions on these dates. Will they be recorded and posted on YouTube?
Perhaps! We’ll see.
signed up for both, just in case 🙂
Hmmm, so you’ll be doing these and then watching Formula 1 for the following couple of days…that’s a fair trade 🙂
I think so!
Woo Hoo!!! This is my favourite SQL training, recommend it to loads of people, and now they can watch live, hoorah!!
Awww, thanks ma’am!
Fully agree with Frank Garcia‘s comment. Always excellent training.
Forwarded this to my boss and to our director of software development — our entire DBA team is registered, and I’m hoping that lots of our developers will sign up as well. Light’em up, Maestro!
It’s a privilege to be a database administrator thanks to such a wonderful privilege gotten vie this link
Awww, glad you like it!
Hi Brent, Unfortunately, I could not make the sessions, and I really wanted to. I just wanted to say thanks for the offer 🙂
