Community Sponsor Sessions – why should you attend?
Tonight’s Manchester SQL Server User Group had the pleasure of Iain Kick, who is SQL Server systems consultant for Quest Software and Chris Burns, who is a SQL Server Consultant at Data Technology Consultants Ltd. Both provided excellent presentations.
Chris did a fantastic presentation on the “SQL Consultants Challenge” that had me in stitches in parts as he gave examples of the typical dilemmas a consultant will face.
Iain’s session on “End-to-End SQL Server Performance Troubleshooting”, may have had you thinking that it would be an hour promoting the software that Quest Software has to offer. This was not the case. Iain’s session spent the majority of the time focusing on the tools, native to SQL Server that can be used for performance tuning and finishing off by providing an overview of Quest Software Performance Analysis and how it can make it easier to perform performance tuning operations on your SQL Server.
Overall, an insightful perspective from a two highly regarded SQL Server specialist.
Many of you will be attending SQLBits this November. Many of the sponsors will perform a lunchtime lecture surrounding many areas of SQL Server, of which Iain has done in the past. Event sponsors play a very important role in supporting events such as SQLBits and some of the SQL Server User group events
Based on the presentation I have seen, I would recommend attending one of the lunchtime sessions at SQLBits. I have no doubt you will pick up golden nuggets of information that will help you in your work.
