Learning from your mistakes is a very powerful method of improving your skills, but also a costly path. Do you know what’s better? Learning from mine!
Join to this webinar to learn from mistakes that I’ve made or watched others make in the field. We’ll talk about the lessons I learned as a DBA over my 20+ year career.
We’ll talk about:
- Corruption
- Backup and Restore
- Managing Expectations
- Configuring Instances (Physical or Virtual)
- HA and DR Solutions
- Performance
- Monitoring
- Security
Learn from my experience, demos and scripts about how to be a better DBA. We will also learn about a solution from dbWatch to help automate many of these items across your database environment.
