SQL Server Master Class with Kimberly Tripp and Paul Randal
This one-day MasterClass will focus on many of the top issues companies
face when implementing and maintaining a SQL Server-based solution. In
the case where a company has no dedicated DBA, IT managers sometimes
struggle to keep the data tier performing well and the data available.
This can be especially troublesome when the development team is
unfamiliar with the affect application design choices have on database
performance.
The Microsoft SQL Server MasterClass 2010 is presented by Paul S. Randal
and Kimberly L. Tripp, two of the most experienced and respected people
in the SQL Server world. Together they have over 30 years combined
experience working with SQL Server in the field, and on the SQL Server
product team itself. This is a unique opportunity to hear them present
at a UK event which will:
