Neil Hambly with “Replication: Troubleshooting and Performance”
During this session we will look @ replication BEST PRACTICES
Show you how to overcome some typical issues using proven troubleshooting techniques and how to configure for performance
Session covers the following areas {Emphasis on these items in Bold}
v Components Overview - Describe the various components and how they interact
v Performance Replication Agents & Jobs
v Troubleshooting {Techniques & Tools}
- Examine tools available to perform monitoring and troubleshooting
- Techniques to overcome common problem scenarios
- Tips on achieving higher replication performance
The Art of War-Fast Track Data Warehouse and Fragmentation
James Rowland-Jones
When loading a Fast Track Data Warehouse it is important to ensure that your data is optimally laid out for Sequential I/O. Fragmentation is therefore the enemy.
Know your enemy.
Learn all about fragmentation - from the inside out. Let's get back to brass tacks and understand how SQL Server handles heaps and clustered indexes, re-visit page allocation and then apply this knowledge to our understanding of fragmentation. We will conclude by looking at some design patterns to help you minimise the impact of fragmentation on your next data warehousing project.
Key topics presented:
• Logical, extent and file fragmentation
• Heap and clustered index architecture and internals
• Page allocation - how it works and how to influence it
• Trace flags that help avoid fragmentation
• Fragmentation in action
• Design patterns for minimal fragmentation
