Let’s face it. You can effectively do your job of writing code of how SQL Server works. Many great developers, DBAs, and architects get their day-to-day work completed on time and with reasonable quality while never really knowing what’s happening behind the scenes of their computer systems. But if you want to take your dev skills to the next level, it’s critical to know SQL Server’s internal processes and architecture. This session will answer questions like: - What are the various areas of memory inside of SQL Server? - How are queries handled behind the scenes? - What does SQL Server do with procedural code, like functions, procedures, and triggers? - What happens during checkpoints? Lazywrites? - How are IOs handled with regards to transaction logs and database? This fast paced session will take you through many aspects of the internal operations of SQL Server which you can use to ensure your code performs at its best.
