SQL Server Execution Plans for Developers and DBAs - new online on-demand course now available
One of the most popular courses that we used to run in person was a Query Performance Tuning and Advanced T-SQL course. I recently finished converting the Advanced T-SQL course to an online format, but a key (no pun intended) part of the Query Performance Tuning course was the content on reading SQL Server execution plans.
For so long, I’ve wanted to get the execution plan content available online, as reading them is such an important skill. Well, we finished it today ! The new course is:
SQL Server Execution Plans for Developers and DBAs
It lets you learn to make sense of what SQL Server is doing when it’s running your queries. Length-wise, it’s equivalent to a one or one and a half day course.
The modules are:
- Getting started
- Core concepts
- Execution plans
- Reading execution plans
- Basic operators
- Lookups
- Joins
- Aggregations
- Data modification
- Views
- Spools and parallelism
- Cursors
- Advanced concepts
- Next steps
It has loads of demos, quizzes, and labs for you to complete if you’d like. You can see all the lessons at the course page:
