Get Started with Execution Plans in our June #SQLChat!

by May 19, 2016

Our next #SQLChat will be held Wednesday, June 8 at 12 PM Noon CT with IDERA ACE, Thomas LeBlanc (@TheSmilingDBA). We will be discussing how to get started with reading execution plans.

Whether you are an expert at reading execution plans, or new to the concept, this will be a great opportunity to learn more about the topic. Share your own tips and tricks, opinions, and personal experiences with the rest of the SQL community.

 This #SQLChat will allow members from the SQL community to discuss SQL Server’s biggest topics with IDERA product experts, and have a chance to win a giveaway prize. This month’s giveaway prize is an Apple TV (3rd generation) valued at $69.99! You won’t want to miss out!
