Your application is bound to grow over a period of time. Sometimes it is critical to test your changes with a bigger workload than your current table size to identify any performance bottlenecks, well ahead of time. Leveraging automated tools to generate a workload for you to test your application makes your lives much easier.
Blocking in SQL Server occurs when a transaction in a database session locks resources that another transaction requires to read or modify. If your application has long term blocking, then you have a problem in your hands to resolve.
Having an effective Database Indexing Strategy is a key to your application performance. When we think about optimizing SQL query performance, generally the first thing which comes to our mind are ‘Indexes’. And rightly so, because Indexes tremendously help in fetching your data faster from SQL Server.
“Lock Escalation” is an optimization technique used by SQL Server and it is basically how it handles locking for large updates. When SQL Server is going to modify a large number of rows – it is more efficient for the database engine to take fewer, larger locks (table lock) instead of dealing with a large number of individual locks (row locks).
Knockout is a powerful Javascript library which provides a simple two-way data binding mechanism between your data model and UI- which means that any changes to data model is automatically reflected in the UI and similarly any changes to the UI are automatically reflected in the data model.
I am honored and super excited to have been selected to speak at this PASS Summit 2017 – the world’s biggest conference in the Microsoft Data Platform. This will be my first PASS Summit experience. I consider myself very fortunate to have got this opportunity, knowing very well that there are so many experienced and better speakers around.
