You will get a conceptual understanding of various SQL Server database performance issues and learn about different places to check for the performance information along with tuning approach. Broadly this course will cover following: Understanding SQL Server waits and how to resolve it. Tempdb contention issues. Learn about database statistics, optimizer and maintenance plan for tables and indexes. SQL Tuning techniques. Partition in SQL Server. General guidelines for avoiding performance issues in SQL database.

SQL Server is a complex and feature rich platform that can requires knowledge and practice to extract optimum performance from an instance. This course will assist a database administrator in understanding the advanced security features that protect data within databases. You will also gain an advanced understanding in how to examine the activity on your system and better tune the database code to run efficiently. In SQL Server 2016 Advanced Security and Administration, we go beyond the basics of managing and securing a SQL Server instance. This course will look at the complex world of encryption and how you can enable this to protect data at rest as well as inside the database. Learn about Always Encrypted, where the data is always protected outside of the client system. The course will show how Dynamic Data Masking and Row-Level Security can be used to ensure that your clients only view the data they should be allowed to view. Since performance is important to all clients, the course covers the ways in which an administrator can determine what activity is taking place on a database through Extended Events and how to analyse and improve performance of queries using execution plans and the Query Store. In the end you will learn how to ensure predictable performance by analysing activity to find any performance problem, use detailed execution plans to tune query code, and use Query Store to prevent plan regressions.

To this end, you will learn how to enable In-Memory OLTP in SQL Server, what memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures are, as well as, how to boost the performance of your data processes using this powerful SQL Server feature. In-Memory OLTP, is SQL Server's Database In-Memory Processing Engine, seamlessly integrated into its Database Engine. With its two main components, that is memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures, In-Memory OLTP can help you achieve significant performance improvements and speedups for many of your data processes. In-Memory OLTP was originally shipped with SQL Server 2014 but was significantly enhanced in SQL Server 2016 and later. From SQL Server 2016 SP1 and later, In-Memory OLTP is available for use in all editions of SQL Server (besides the LocalDB edition), which is something that makes it a must, to at least try this great feature in SQL Server. Especially now, in this data-driven era we live in, where business decisions and many other areas depend on the fast analysis of large sets of data, maintaining a low latency for your data processes is critical. SQL Server's In-Memory OLTP Engine can help with that. Via my course " Boost SQL Server Database Performance with In-Memory OLTP ", you will get introduced to SQL Server In-Memory OLTP and you will learn how to start using it fast and easy. Since In-Memory OLTP is integrated into SQL Server's Database Engine, it is very easy to start using it. By the time you work with memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures via the well-known T-SQL, it makes it easy to start using memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures too. Via my course, I provide all the necessary knowledge and hands-on guides, that will help you start using In-Memory OLTP and realize its huge potential when it comes to significantly improving the performance of your data processes. AFTER THE COURSE YOU WILL KNOW: What is the In-Memory OLTP Engine in SQL Server and how it works What Memory-Optimized Tables are and which are their main characteristics What Natively-Compiled Stored Procedures are and how they work How to Use In-Memory OLTP for Boosting the Performance of your Data Processes, by utilizing memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures How to migrate your data processes to In-Memory OLTP How to find the right candidate databases, data processes and tables for migrating it to In-Memory OLTP How to analyze your tables and stored procedures prior to planning their migration to In-Memory OLTP Ways to estimate if your workload's performance can benefit from In-Memory OLTP PREREQUISITES: Basic knowledge of SQL Server and data principles THIS COURSE CONTAINS/OFFERS: 2.5 hours of high-quality video Live demonstrations and hands-on guides Useful quizzes for testing your knowledge on each section Many downloadable resources (i.e. summaries and T-SQL scripts) A practice test in the end of the course Ability to ask the instructor questions via the Q&A section Certificate on course completion

Microsoft SQL Server also known as SQL Server is a mature technology which can be used not just by developers but by marketers, sales teams, product managers and much more - it is a query language that allows you to ask questions from securely stored data. Think of it this way - any business on this planet makes money with data. The fancy user interfaces, cool animations are nice but that's not what makes the money. Think about it... when you go to Facebook or Instagram do you care about the fancy animations and user interface or do you care to see your friends, what they are up to, check out events and be part of the goings on of that entire digital ecosystem? Of course it is the second choice... the fancy user interfaces are cool and make the experience pleasant but in the end you care about your friends and what they are up to, you care about being part of the ecosystem... Now your friends, followers, events, what everyone is up to is data and as I mentioned before that is what makes companies money. Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) is one of the most mature technologies that allows companies to handle data, store it securely, access it quickly and much more. Now if you know about Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) and you know how to create database objects, how to normalize tables, how to retrieve data, prepare reports, insert and delete data safely and you know about best practices then you are an amazingly valuable asset to the company. If you have a business that you are trying to grow and have data which you are trying to handle then Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) is a great choice which is another reason for you to learn this skill. Now guess what? All of those things we will be learning in this course and MUCH more! Take my advice and learn this valuable skill, you will not regret it. After dedicating only a few days and really focusing you can acquire this valuable skill and set a new course for your life.

In this course we will learn the basic-intermediate level about Structured Query Language A.K.A "Sequel" or SQL. We will use Sql server 2017 version but we will make a quick comparison between with it's predecessor. Since this is the first course that I created, bare with my deep accent and the way I pronounce the words. But the good thing is while I'm teaching and talking in front of my computer, It will improve my English proficiency. Happy programming :-)
