One of your last lines of defense for just about any system is to have a backup in place in case there is a need to recover some or all of your data. This is also true for SQL Server. In this tutorial we will discuss selecting the correct recovery models, what backup options are available, and how to create backups using T-SQL commands and SQL Server Management Studio.
What good is a backup if you do not know to restore the backup. In this tutorial we will look at what restore options are available and which options are only accessible using T-SQL commands.
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views allow you to retrieve metadata about the objects within a database. These views can be found in the master database under Views / System Views and be called from any database in your SQL Server instance. In this tutorial we look at some of these INFORMATION_SCHEMA views and how they can be used.
In this tutorial we will cover some of the common issues with performance such as: deadlocks, blocking, missing and unused indexes, I/O bottlenecks, poor query plans, statistics, wait stats and fragmentation.
Learn how to monitor, alert, diagnose, and report on the performance of Always On Availability Groups, replicas, and databases with SQL Diagnostic Manager.
In this webinar we'll take a look at how to troubleshoot SQL Server Agent issues. We'll demonstrate how to monitor and alert on performance with custom scripts, Extended Events, valuable PerfMon counters and more.
In this webinar, you will learn about how to use the Query Store, Microsoft’s flight data recorder for SQL Server to identify query plans that have changed for the worst after an upgrade. You will learn about query patterns that are most likely to be affected by recent optimizer changes. Finally, you will learn about Microsoft’s new support policy for SQL Server that lets you use older compatibility modes forever.
DBAs and database developers often need to identify changes and reconcile differences between databases to ensure consistency within their environment. Attend this webinar to learn how this can be done with Aqua Data Studio's Schema Compare.
