There are a lot of great careers in information technology (IT) these days. The US Bureau of Labor Management predicts years of shortages in many IT career tracks, and one of the most highly paid and respected of IT professions is the database administrator (DBA). This session will teach you all about the professional expectations, roles, and responsibilities of a DBA. We'll show you what they do on a regular basis and how they operate within medium and large IT organizations. You'll learn not only what is most commonly expected of a DBA from a technological standpoint, but what your future boss and your future customers need to be satisfied by your performance. This is the first of several sessions in a series about DBA skills and professionalism. This session is beginners. Video available at http://sqlsentry.tv.

Ten query tuning techniques every SQL Server programmer should know

Kevin Kline

From the noted database expert and author of 'SQL in a Nutshell' - SELECT statements have a reputation for being very easy to write, but hard to write very well. This session will take you through ten of the most problematic patterns and anti-patterns when writing queries and how to deal with them all. Loaded with live demonstrations and useful techniques, this session will teach you how to take your SQL Server queries mundane to masterful.

PLSSUG - Troubleshoot SQL Server performance problems like a Microsoft Engineer

Marek Maśko

This is yet another session of the SQL Server performance troubleshooting category. But this time it is not focused on various techniques and methodologies, what is the case in many others presentations. On the contrary. This presentation is focused on tools which are available for a very long time. The tools which are every day used by Microsoft engineers. The tools which still are known by very small amount of people.

End-to-end Troubleshooting Checklist for Microsoft SQL Server

Kevin Kline

Learning how to detect, diagnose and resolve performance problems in SQL Server is tough. Often, years are spent learning how to use the tools and techniques that help you detect when a problem is occurring, diagnose the root-cause of the problem, and then resolve the problem. In this session, attendees will see demonstrations of the tools and techniques which make difficult troubleshooting scenarios much faster and easier, including: • XEvents, Profiler/Traces, and PerfMon • Using Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) • Advanced Diagnostics Using Wait Stats • Reading SQL Server execution plan Every DBA needs to know how to keep their SQL Server in tip-top condition, and you’ll need skills the covered in this session to do it.

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.

Session delivered to SQL Relay 2015 in Nottingham. In this session we look at some of the fundamental elements that you need to understand in order to build an IaaS solution that will meet the requirements to be covered by the Microsoft availability SLA. Additionally we will look at building a Microsoft Azure IaaS Solution. Demo Code available at: http://1drv.ms/1PC8707 *Note if you want to use the demo code you will need a Microsoft Azure subscription.

Database story by DevOps

Anton Martynenko

There are many systems where Database plays central role for business operations. More often than not performance and maintainability of your “Main” database is key factor of success of your business. In order to deploy DevOps culture in your organization you need to Trust your developers and give them access to Production Database. Developers could find great insights in database metrics so you would have opportunity to improve both performance and maintainability dramatically for moderate costs. I am going to talk about catching and solving problems in Production Databases – how to increase performance and decrease costs in long time perspective. The talk is based on experience we’ve received in Production.

SQL Server 2016 Temporal Tables

Davide Mauri

Keeping track of how data changed over time in a table has always been a difficult task. Both data insertion or modification and even querying is just more complex when you what to have the result that was returned when the time is a specific point of time in the past. And even more complex when you’re not looking for a specific point in time, but a period of time. Temporal database theory and temporal operators surely can come to the rescue, but they are not a matter for the faint of heart! Luckily one of the biggest - and most requested – feature that has been added to SQL Server 2016 solves exactly this problem, allowing the creation of change audit trails, data history and point-in-time queries so simple and anyone, even on *current* applications, can benefit from it, simplifying solution architecture and saving time (and money) on maintenance an reporting.

SSIS Monitoring Deep Dive

Davide Mauri

In this session we'll see everything interesting is hidden in the SSISDB database, where you can gain a lot of insight on the outcome, the performance and the status of your SSIS Packages. I'll share everything I've learned building the SSIS Dashboard we're actually using in production and that you can test here http://ssis-dashboard.azurewebsites.net/. We’ll see the internals of SSISDB database, how we can add custom logging information and how we can use all these data in order to know exactly what happened on a specific point in time.

Microsoft SQL Server internals & architecture

Kevin 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.

Azure SQL & SQL Server 2016 JSON

Davide Mauri

JSON is a de-facto standard for machine-to-machine communication but also to store "liquid" data. Once a killer feature of NoSQL database, with SQL Server 2016 is now available also in a (post) relational environment. But how it fits in the relational database space? How the usage of JSON can simplify DBAs and DEVs everyday work? What about performances? And what about flexibility? In this session we'll see how powerful JSON can be, when used correctly and not abused, providing solution to common problems (like in the well known "dynamic schema" case), simplifying development (for example to pass to Stored Procedure complex objects or variable numbers of parameters) with also very good performances, even if they maybe hidden in not-so-obvious places.

You want JSON? You finally have JSON support within SQL Server! The much-asked-for, long-awaited feature is finally here! In this session, Davide will show how the JSON support works within SQL Server, what are the pros and cons, the capabilities and the limitations, and will also take a look at performance of JSON vs. an equivalent relational(ish) solution to solve the common “unknown-schema-upfront” and “I-wanna-be-flexible” problems.

Top 10 DBA Mistakes on Microsoft SQL Server

Kevin Kline

From the noted author of SQL in a Nutshell - Microsoft SQL Server is easier to administrate than any other mainstream relational database on the market. But “easier than everyone else” doesn’t mean it’s easy. And it doesn’t mean that database administration on SQL Server is problem free. Since SQL Server frequently grows up from small, home-grown applications, many IT professionals end up encountering issues that others have tackled and solved years ago. Why not learn from those who first blazed the trails of database administration, so that we don’t make the same mistakes over and over again. In fact, wouldn’t you like to learn about those mistakes before they ever happen? There is a short list of mistakes that, if you know of them in advance, will make your life much easier. These mistakes are the “low hanging fruit” of application design, development, and administration. Once you apply the lessons learned from this session, you’ll find yourself performing at a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness than before. No reuse without permission.

Can Your Mobile Infrastructure Survive 1 Million Concurrent Users?

TechWell

When you’re building the next killer mobile app, how can you ensure that your app is both stable and capable of near-instant data updates? The answer: Build a backend! Siva Katir says that there’s much more to building a backend than standing up a SQL server in your datacenter and calling it a day. Since different types of apps demand different backend services, how do you know what sort of backend you need? And, more importantly, how can you ensure that your backend scales so you can survive an explosion of users when you are featured in the app store? Siva discusses the common scenarios facing mobile app developers looking to expand beyond just the device. He’ll share best practices learned while building the PlayFab and other companies’ backends. Join Siva to learn how you can ensure that your app can scale safely and affordably into the millions of concurrent users and across multiple platforms.

The DBA 3.0 Upgrade

Sean Scott

In 2008, Harald van Breederode and Joel Goodman wrote a white paper titled "Performing an Oracle DBA 1.0 to Oracle DBA 2.0 Upgrade" in which they suggested DBAs needed to add storage and OS skills to remain relevant in a shifting technical landscape. The role of today's DBA has broadened considerably and with that comes a new set of abilities and concepts to be learned and mastered. DBA 2.0 was written prior to the release of Oracle 11g and 12c, so the Oracle DBA 3.0 upgrade adds Cloud and virtualization to the DBAs repertoire. Their inclusion also demands that DBAs be able to better manage security and compliance challenges that come with hybrid and Cloud environments, the ability to adapt to continuous deployment cycles, and heterogenous and comingled data stores. Most significantly DBA 3.0 signals an emergence of the DBA from a mostly utilitarian and anonymous role to one that is more in the limelight. The growing emphasis and influence of data and data-driven decision making means that the DBA must be a partner and driving force in the business and not simply a custodian of the data. Learn what it will take to build or upgrade your skill set to Oracle DBA 3.0, and how to encourage and mentor a new generation of data professionals into the field.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !

KatiaHIMEUR1

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks. In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
