The roles of database professionals are always evolving. However, their tuning skills should remain sharp. Tuning proficiency is still one of the critical requirements for both database administrators and developers, whether the database is on-premises or delivered via a platform such as infrastructure-as-a-service or platform-as-a-service.
Read the 7-page whitepaper “Advanced SQL Server Performance Tuning” to learn about advanced database performance tuning for both on-premises SQL Server and Azure SQL Database. It also covers tips and techniques for troubleshooting bottlenecks with complex causes and how to remediate them for hardware, operating systems, and the database itself. This includes disk latency, storage limitations, memory considerations, blocking, problematic queries, and wait times.
