Knowing Wait States can Improve Performance
Trent will discuss wait state analytics and how to find which statements hitting your SQL Server will give you the most benefit when tuned. Methods to find bottlenecks at both the server resource and individual statement level will be discussed. Native utilities for accomplishing this will be covered first, and then we will take a look at two Dell Software Tools that use these approaches: Spotlight on SQL Server and Performance Analysis for SQL Server.
