Dear friends, 

I would like to say thank you for attending my presentations on this year ShowIT. It was a pleasure to meet you again in this wonderful conference. I hope my sessions was informative and helpful at least as in past years.

My sessions:

Resolving usual issues with database model and configuration.

In this presentation we will discuss what to check in your existing database configuration and  its model to prevent data loss and keep meaningful performance. I will also propose solutions for them. Usual audience are beginner DBAs and advanced db developers.

 

SQL Server memory configuration monitoring, management and troubleshooting overview.

In this session I will explain basics of memory configuration, monitoring and management tasks which should be (in my opinion) taken by admin.  

Also, we will have a look on troubleshooting suboptimal situations found in monitoring.  All DBAs will find something new in this presentation.

With regards.

Michal.
