Microsoft SQL Server operations even though you're an Oracle DBA.
In
this instructive webcast, experts from Microsoft and Quest with years
of experience in both platforms will discuss the biggest issues and
areas of interest for Oracle DBAs who need to work on Microsoft SQL
Server. You'll learn their tips and tricks for efficiency and gain a
deeper understanding of SQL Server to help you add more value than ever

In
this instructive webcast, you’ll learn straightforward methods for
troubleshooting and resolving common poorly performing stored procedures
and queries in SQL Server 2008. The presenters will show you how to
easily:
- Read query execution plans and identify bottlenecks
in performance
- Record system performance metrics for trend
analysis
- Design databases and write Transact–SQL code to avoid
common problems
- Understand what an index is, what it does, and
how to build one
- Use industry-accepted best practices and
develop your own to arrive at optimal database performance
Much
of the webcast is based on Grant’s book, "SQL
