You work with Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL DB, and Amazon RDS SQL Server. When people call in saying the server is slow, you're the one who has to take the call. It's up to you to figure out the bottleneck, which queries are causing that bottleneck, what changes to make to the queries, and whether index or server-level tweaks can help.

Reading about how Postgres 18 does index skip scans made me wonder whether Microsoft SQL Server has that feature, and boom, there goes an hour of my life writing demos. Next up, adding a module to the Mastering Index Tuning class to talk through it. www.pgedge.com/blog/postgre...

Today marks the official birthday of Microsoft SQL Server 2025. Here's where to download the evaluation version. Here are the top things you wanna consider as you talk to your managers, developers, and end users. The feature differences between 2025 Enterprise and Standard have been revealed, and the news for Standard Edition folks is spectacular: it now supports up to 32 CPU cores and 256GB RAM!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

You've been telling yourself, "One of these days, I'll finally take Brent's classes." Get ready, because that day is here: my Black Friday sale runs all November long, and it's my lowest prices all year! SQL Server 2025, 2022, and 2019 all dramatically changed the game for performance tuning. We have more and better tooling than we've ever had before, and there are new places to look when performance goes wrong.
