Title: Performance Tuning for Pirates!
If you follow baseball you will notice that my favorite team the Pittsburgh Pirates has to do more with less to be successful. Working as a consultant, I have also noticed this trend with several IT shops. If you need to improve the performance of your SQL Server instances and cannot purchase 3rdparty tools this session is for you.  I will help improve your performance tuning process while using several free tools. Through this presentation we will go over wait stats, dynamic management objects, perfmon, PAL, SQL Trace, ClearTrace, SQL Nexus and  SQLDiag.

The mission of the Wheeling SQL Server User Group is to provide an opportunity that will allow database developers, database administrators and all other IT professionals who work with databases to connect, share and learn for free. While everyone's shop might be unique the majority of the DBA's have similar projects and problems. We will allow all users the opportunity to share their experiences while they can also build their soft skills.
