SQL Server Training Schedule

IE0: Immersion Event for the Accidental/Junior DBA

Just like this grouper is hiding inside a giant barrel sponge, as a new DBA you might be feeling scared of your new responsibilities around SQL Server. There's a lot to learn, but where do you start? What's important and what's not? This course will help you learn how to keep the lights on so that SQL Server meets the business requirements for availability and performance.

IEPTO1: Performance Tuning and Optimization – Part 1

Just as zooxanthellae help to build a reef, IEPTO1 builds a data professional’s SQL Server PTO foundation. In this 3/400-level course we cover performance tuning of data files, log files and logging, tempdb, table and index structures and then we show how to create and tune using a comprehensive indexing and statistics strategy. This deep course is the core of a strong SQL Server professional – whether developer, administrator, or architect.

IEPTO2: Performance Tuning and Optimization – Part 2

Just as a dolphin effortlessly glides through the water, after attending IEPTO1 and IEPTO2 you will be able to dive deep into your SQL Server problems. This course builds on our IEPTO1 course and includes deep troubleshooting and workload analysis. The primary focus is on monitoring resource usage, properly using wait statistics and Extended Events, analyzing query plans and the plan cache, tuning CPU and memory-specific problems, and much, much more!

IEPML: Immersion Event on Practical Machine Learning

Just as these two shrimp are hidden within this anemone, critical information can be hidden within your data. The IEPML course shows you how to access that information and turn it into a valuable business asset. During the week we cover R, Azure Machine Learning, and SQL Data Mining, giving you the foundations required to organize, process, and present information, whatever your requirements are.
