Performance Virtual Chapter

[DonW]

The Performance Virtual Chapter has some new leadership and is
rebooting the group. We would love for you to forward this email to
your groups as we reboot this VC and kick off the new year with our
first meeting this Thursday. Here is the information, and thanks for
helping spread the word in the community for us!



Our speaker this month is Jason Strate. Jason will be presenting
“Discovering the Plan Cache”.



Topic Abstract:

Execution plans are stored after execution in the plan cache. This
metadata about how queries are executed can provide insight into how
your SQL Server environment is functioning. By using XQuery to browse
and search the plan cache you can find potential performance issues
and opportunities to tune your queries. This information can be used
to help reduce issues related to parallelism, shift queries from using
scans to using seek operations, or discover exactly which queries are
using what indexes. All of this and more is readily available through
the plan cache. In this session we will explore the plan cache and
start you on the road to discovery.



Speaker:

Jason Strate, Digineer Inc, is a DBA with over fifteen years of
experience. He is a recipient of the Microsoft Most Valuable
Professional (MVP) for SQL Server since July, 2009. His experience
includes design and implementation of both OLTP and OLAP solutions as
well as assessment and implementation of SQL Server environments for
best practices, performance, and high availability solutions. Jason is
a SQL Server MCITP and participated in the development of
Certification exams for SQL Server 2008.



This meeting is sponsored by CONFIO SOFTWARE. There will be a drawing

Thanks for passing this along. I had never heard of this group myself (I'll
accept that blame, if it's been mentioned here before). Just followed their
twitter feed (@SQLPass_PVC) and joined their google group
(http://groups.google.com/group/perfvc), so as not to miss any future
events/announcements. Thanks, Don.
