Database Administration Virtual Chapter

 Welcome

The goal of the DBA Virtual Chapter is to provide a PASS community for the DBA. It provides a forum for open discussion and education on issues that face SQL Server database administrators. The DBA Virtual Chapter holds two monthly live meeting events on the second Wednesday of every month at noon, Mountain time and on the fourth Wednesday of every month at noon, Eastern time. These 1 - 1¼ hour presentations include slides, demos and a time for questions and answers. The meetings are recorded and archived.

Topic: Top 10 Mistakes on SQL Server

Date: Feb 10th, Noon Mountain Time

Level: 200

Abstract: SQL Server encompasses a wide variety of domains –
administrative, development, and design. But despite years of experience with
relational databases, SQL Server practitioners frequently make the same mistakes
over and over again. Wouldn’t you like to learn about those mistakes before they
ever happen?  This session will answer questions like: 

·  What’s the most common Transact-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?

There are a short list of mistakes that, if you know of 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 before.

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of SQL Server architecture, development,
design, and administration.
