Return to Session Listings
Presenter: Kevin Kline, Quest Software
Session 14 (01:00 GMT on May 20)
Session Details
SQL Server encompasses a wide variety of domains—administrative, development, and design. But despite years of experience with relational databases, SQL Server practitioners often make the same mistakes over and over again. Wouldn’t you like to learn about those mistakes so you can avoid them? This session will answer questions like:
- What’s the most common T-SQL programming mistake, and how do I fix it?
- How do database designers cause problems for future generations of application developers and database administrators?
- Why do inexperienced database administrators make their own job more difficult and less efficient?
The session covers a short list of mistakes that, if you know about them in advance, will make your life much easier. These mistakes are the “low-hanging fruit” of application design, development, and administration. Once you apply the lessons learned from this session, you’ll find yourself performing at a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness than ever before.
