Restore databases to a base before applying new index structures with a restore script. Verify the correct drive path to ensure the restoration succeeds.
Deactivate a cluster index on the primary to boost insert performance, as shown by a reduction from 12 minutes 20 seconds to 1 minute 2 seconds; test scenarios before reactivating.
Demonstrate how a filtered index targets only relevant values to shrink index size and speed queries on targeted ranges.
Learn to enable extended events, set up a session, and monitor page splits on a clustered index by inserting test data and querying results to observe split behavior.
Set the fillfactor to reserve free space on index pages, typically around 70 percent, to prevent page splits during inserts and when creating or reorganizing indexes.
Learn how to rebuild SQL Server indexes with abort_after_wait to manage blocking and timeouts, including blockers, transaction handling, and rollback during peak hours.
You have problems of slowness on your SQL servers, and you suspect the implementation of your indexes?
You haven't set up indexes on your tables, because you don't know the differences between a clustered and a non-clustered index?
In this 4 hour course, come and discover the importance of a good index setup on your tables.
Don't go on a spending spree buying disk storage, when it may be the index setup that is wrong! It's simple, indexes are the first reason, of your performance improvements on a SQL server.
The training in detail:
The structure of a clustered and a non-clustered index.
The Table SCAN and the Table SEEK
The covering index and Why you should not index the whole table (Over indexing).
Remove duplicate indexes, and see the definition of a SINGLE index.
Remember to consolidate indexes, and the columnstore index.
Beware of filtered indexes and their associated cache plan, and see what is the term SARGABLE?
How to choose the right Clustered Index
Why fragmentation is important, and how to remove it
Tracking page splits and the FILLFACTOR definition
Rebuild Index Vs REORGANIZE and the ABORT_AFTER_WAIT option
This course is for all DBAs and developers who deal with performance optimization and want to use indexes to improve server performance.
Look at the average of my other courses (4.4/5), and you will see that my courses are quality courses :)
Take this course, will help you to stand out technically from your colleagues, or during a job interview.
I also made sure that the videos are not longer than 10 minutes, so that it's not too boring :)
