Free Webcast: How to Think Like the Engine, Big Data Edition
You’ve watched my free How to Think Like the Engine class that focuses on the small 1GB Users table.
Let’s take things up a notch by using the ~164GB Posts table full of questions & answers. You’ll learn:
- What PAGEIOLATCH waits are
- Why you can’t usually fix them by just adding small amounts of memory like 16-64GB RAM
- Why key lookups aren’t a big deal (compared to the alternative)
- Why SELECT * isn’t as bad as it’s cracked up to be
- Why big data also means slow writes on storage
Join me next Thursday for a free webcast sponsored by Pure Storage. See you there!

Thank you, sir.
Is the big coat drawing new? Or have I just not been around enough to have seen it before?
Good eye indeed! That one is brand new, using it for the first time today, heh.
I’m just Brent (and I’m enough) And I’m great at doing stuff.
Will there be an recording available if we´re unable to attend live?
(On your training site for example)
Hi Brent! I’ve registered a couple of hours ago, but haven’t received the registration details yet. Do you know if the email will come in later?
Nevermind, it’s here. See you on the 3rd.
