Microsoft SQL Server internals & architectureKevin Kline
From noted SQL Server expert and author Kevin Kline - Let’s face it. You can effectively do many IT jobs related to Microsoft SQL Server without knowing the internals of how SQL Server works. Many great developers, DBAs, and designers get their day-to-day work completed on time and with reasonable quality while never really knowing what’s happening behind the scenes. But if you want to take your skills to the next level, it’s critical to know SQL Server’s internal processes and architecture. This session will answer questions like:
- What are the various areas of memory inside of SQL Server?
- How are queries handled behind the scenes?
- What does SQL Server do with procedural code, like functions, procedures, and triggers?
- What happens during checkpoints? Lazywrites?
- How are IOs handled with regards to transaction logs and database?
- What happens when transaction logs and databases grow or shrinks?
This fast paced session will take you through many aspects of the internal operations of SQL Server and, for those topics we don’t cover, will point you to resources where you can get more information.

Wait Watchers; Gain SQL Performance Increases Fast!Richard Douglas
We're all told to watch our weight and to exercise more, so to flip this on its head I will be showing you exercises that you can do to watch your waits. You could even eat a Danish pastry while watching if you wish (Danish pastry’s not provided).
In this session you will learn all about SQL Server’s wait statistics, these are statistics the database engine stores about the resources it is waiting on. Armed with this information you as a SQL Server professional can make better informed decisions on which areas of your environment to tune to greater effect.
After attending this session you will be able to know where to find, interpret and use this information to tie down problem areas in your SQL Server estate not to fix that problem query, but improve overall performance for all of your users.
Uwe Ricken at SQL in the City 2016.
Waits, as they’re known in the SQL Server world, indicate that a worker thread inside SQL Server is waiting for a resource to become available before it can proceed with executing. They’re often a major source of performance issues.
In this session, we’ll walk through an optimal performance troubleshooting process for a variety of scenarios, and illustrate both the strengths and weaknesses of using a waits-only approach to troubleshooting.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Current – 20+ Years in SQL Server & Oracle
• DBA and Developer
Specialize in Performance Tuning
Review Performance of 100’s of Databases for
Customers and Prospects
Common Thread – Paralyzed by Tuning
4
5. Agenda
Introduction
Challenges
Identify - Which SQL and Why
Gather – Details about SQL
Tune – Case Study
Monitor – Make sure it stays tuned
5
6. Introduction
Tuning is Hard
This Presentation is an Introduction
• 3-5 day detailed classes are typical
Providing a Framework
• Helps develop your own processes
• There is no magic tool
• Tools cannot reliably tune SQL statements
• Tuning requires the involvement of you and other
technical and functional members of team
6
7. Challenges
Requires Expertise in Many Areas
• Technical – Plan, Data Access, SQL Design
• Business – What is the Purpose of SQL?
Tuning Takes Time
• Large Number of SQL Statements
• Each Statement is Different
Low Priority in Some Companies
• Vendor Applications
• Focus on Hardware or System Issues
7
8. Identify – End-to-End
Business Aspects
• Who registered yesterday for SQL Tuning
• Why does the business need to know this
• How often is the information needed
• Who uses this information
Technical Information
• Review ERD
• Understand tables and the data (at a high level)
End-to-End Process
• Understand application architecture
• What portion of the total time is database
• Where is it called from in the application
8
10. Identify – Which SQL
User / Batch Job Complaints
Tracing a Session / Process
Queries Performing Most I/O (LIO, PIO)
Queries Consuming CPU
Queries Doing Table or Index Scans
Known Poorly Performing SQL
Highest Response Times (Wait Types)
SELECT sql_handle, statement_start_offset,
statement_end_offset, plan_handle, execution_count,
total_logical_reads, total_physical_reads,
total_elapsed_time, st.text
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS qs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS st
ORDER BY total_elapsed_time DESC
10
11. Measure Response/Wait Time
Focus on End User Response Time
Understand the total time a Query spends in Database
Measure time while Query executes
SQL Server helps by providing Wait Types
11
12. Banking Analogy
Tellers are the CPUs
Customers being helped are “running”
Customers waiting in line are “runnable”
Customer 1 Requires Higher Level Signature
• Customer 1 “waits” on “Signature”
• Customer 2 is checked out, i.e. “running”
• Customer 3 is “runnable”
Signature is Completed
• Customer 1 goes to “runnable”
12
13. Wait Time Tables (SQL 2000)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822101
WaitType – internal binary, 0
sysprocesses
loginame means SPID is on CPU and not
hostname
programname
spid
waiting
dbid
waittype
waittime
LastWaitType – string value
lastwaittype
waitresource WaitTime – ms of wait for
sql_handle
stmt_start
stmt_end
current waittype
cmd
WaitResource – more details
about what is being waited on
13
16. Wait Time Scenario
Which scenario is worse?
SQL Statement 1
• Executed 100 times
• Caused 10 minutes of wait time for end user
• Waited 90% of time on “PAGEIOLATCH_SH”
SQL Statement 2
• Executed 1 time
• Caused 10 minutes of wait time for end user
• Waited 90% on “LCK_M_X”
16
17. Identify – Simplification
Break Down SQL Into Simplest Forms
• Complex SQL becomes multiple SQL
• Sub-Queries Should be Tuned Separately
• Tuned SQL in Stored Procedures Separately
• Get the definition of views
• Understand Distributed Queries
17
18. Identify – Summary
Determine the SQL
Understand End-to-End
Measure Wait Time
Simplify Statement
18
19. Gather - Metrics
Get baseline metrics
• How long does it take now
• What is acceptable (10 sec, 2 min, 1 hour)
Collect Wait Type Information
• Locking / Blocking (LCK)
• I/O problem (PAGEIOLATCH)
• Latch contention (LATCH)
• Network slowdown (NETWORK)
• May be multiple issues
• All have different resolutions
Document everything in simple language
19
20. Gather – Execution Plan
SQL Server Management Studio
• Estimated Execution Plan - can be wrong
• Actual Execution Plan – must execute query, can be
dangerous in production and also wrong in test
SQL Server Profiler Tracing
• Event to collect: MISC: Execution Plan
• Works when you know a problem will occur
DM_EXEC_QUERY_PLAN
• Real execution plan of executed query
20
22. Gather – Bind Values
<is there something like V$SQL_BIND_CAPTURE>
SELECT name, position, datatype_string, value_string
FROM v$sql_bind_capture
WHERE sql_id = '15uughacxfh13';
NAME POSITION DATATYPE_STRING VALUE_STRING
----- ---------- --------------- ------------
:B1 1 BINARY_DOUBLE
Bind Values also provided by tracing
• Level 4 – bind values
• Level 8 – wait information
• Level 12 – bind values and wait information
22
23. Example SQL Statement
Who registered yesterday for SQL Tuning
SELECT s.fname, s.lname, r.signup_date
FROM student s
INNER JOIN registration r ON
s.student_id = r.student_id
INNER JOIN class c ON
r.class_id = c.class_id
WHERE c.name = 'SQL TUNING'
AND r.signup_date BETWEEN @BeginDate
AND @EndDate
AND r.cancelled = 'N'
Execution Time – 1:30 to execute
Wait Types – Waits 90% on PAGEIOLATCH_SH
23
25. Gather - Relationships
CLASS REGISTRATION STUDENT
class_id class_id student_id
name student_id fname
class_level signup_date lname
cancelled
25
26. Gather – Table Information
Table Definition
• Where does it physically reside
• Large columns?
• Data Profile Viewer – Integration Services
Existing Indexes
• Names of all existing indexes
• Columns those indexes contain
26
27. Gather – Summary
Metrics
• How long does it take currently
• What does the query wait for (wait types)
Plan
• DM_EXEC_QUERY_PLAN
• Actual Execution Plan
• Do not use Estimated Plans unless necessary
Table Relationships
Table Information
• Columns and Existing Indexes
27
28. Tune – Create SQL Diagram
SQL Tuning – Dan Tow
• Great book that teaches SQL Diagramming
• http://www.singingsql.com
registration .04
5 30
1 1
student class .002
select count(1) from registration where cancelled = 'N'
and signup_date between '2009-04-08 00:00' and '2009-04-08 23:59'
3562 / 80000 = .0445
select count(1) from class where name = 'SQL TUNING'
2 / 1000 = .002
28
29. Tune – New Execution Plan
create index cl_name on class(name)
Metric – Takes 0:20 to execute
Why would an Index Scan still occur on REGISTRATION?
29
31. Tune – New Execution Plan
create index reg_alt on registration(class_id)
Metric – Takes 0:03 to execute
31
32. Tune – Better Execution Plan
create index reg_alt on registration(class_id)
include (signup_date, cancelled)
Metric – Takes 0:01.8 to execute
32
33. Tune – Alternative from SSMS
create index reg_can on registration(cancelled, signup_date)
include (class_id, student_id)
Metric – Takes 0:08 to execute
33
34. Monitor
Monitor the improvement
• Be able to prove that tuning made a difference
• Take new metric measurements
• Compare them to initial readings
• Brag about the improvements – no one else will
Monitor for next tuning opportunity
• Tuning is iterative
• There is always room for improvement
• Make sure you tune things that make a difference
