SQL Server for developers
This precon will try to show what .Net and SQL developers should know about SQL Server.
We’ll start with choosing the correct data types and the impact of wrong ones. After that we’ll take a look at error handling, pros and cons of dynamic T-SQL, and behaviours of various isolation levels. After that we’ll take a look at basic indexing, locking, blocking, and troubleshooting methodology.
We’ll finish the precon with some tips on how to write better and faster queries. This will include various query writing patterns and basic execution plan analysis.
If there’s time we’ll also talk about some architectural patterns for .Net app design.
