Nothing is more difficult for a DBA than performance tuning. This session describes how to tune your SQL Server environment from the server level, down to the transaction level. Takes aways from this session are an approach to performance tuning, and a set of low impact tools you can run in your environments to zero in on the bottlenecks and procs which are causing server and dba meltdowns. While this session is intended for the DBA, anyone can run the tools to get a clear understanding of what is crippling their SQL Servers
