Abstract
There are many ways to find SQL that is performing poorly. The hard part is what to do with a bad SQL statement once you have it. In this session, several real-world examples will be reviewed to help you learn how to evaluate poorly performing SQL. Each example will demonstrate a commonly occurring SQL performance problem and provide a method to solve it.

Key points:
1. Review ways to identify poorly performing SQL.
2. Learn a simple method for evaluating a problem SQL statement.
3. Identify key performance inhibitors in SQL execution plans.
4. Determine the best and simplest solution.

Young Programmer's Camp

I made a short post over at ToadWorld about bringing my nephew to my office in Dallas this week for a Young Programmer's camp. He had a great time as far as I could gauge the excitement of a 16 year old boy (errrrrr....young man)! He rocked it out creating several different game knock-offs and got a feel for what it would be like to be a software developer. Fun stuff!
