Speaker: Ken Clement
Title: SQL Anti-Patterns and when it's Okay to be Bad
Abstract:
Did I really do that? If you didn't, you probably will. And even if you don't ever, it's a good bet that you will still have to deal with others' legacies of Anti-Patterns. Decades of practice by thousands of software and database developers around the world have produced a large corpus of recognized best practices, Anti-Patterns are the antithesis of best practice - they are recognized as approaches to be avoided. SQL databases including SQL Server are no exception. A number of SQL Anti-Patterns will be described here, along with better practices and exceptions where the Anti-Pattern may actually be a good answer. This presentation ought to be a spectator's delight - a chance to slow down and admire the train wrecks of others. For nothing is as instructive as mistakes or as fun to dissect.

Abstract:
Query performance is what it is all about. SQL Server 2014 now has the new in-memory functionality that takes a completely different approach to data access and manipulation. This session will consolidate the relevant information from all these sources so the production DBA/Developer will be able to understand, create, use, maintain, and trouble-shoot in-memory table functionality. This session will also examine several demo scripts showing performance gains using the in-memory tables with and without columnstore indexes over equivalent disk based tables.
This session is all about when and how to apply in-memory tables in a production environment.
After this session you will
- Understand what in-memory tables are and how to create and maintain them including their limitations
- Be able to identify performance gains over equivalent disk back tables
- Comprehend the new data monitoring needed for in-memory table

Becoming a proactive DBA is something that most SQL administrators strive to be but many fall short. Meetings, doing non-SQL related tasks, excessive workload and sometimes corporate culture often work against a DBA by creating conditions where it is nearly impossible to pay attention to the tasks involved in taking care of your SQL instances. Our presentation will cover those proactive tasks and alerts that will provide a straightforward method of ensuring that maintenance and monitoring are working for all SQL instances you are responsible for. Additionally, we will cover some ways to identify emergency performance problems that will allow a DBA to quickly resolve issues while making them look like the expert they truly are.

Abstract:
I (and a team of people much sharper than me) tried to push unit testing onto established development teams on multiple occasions in the past, and we failed repeatedly... until we figured out the things that we'll discuss in this session. We will cover a set of rules and guidelines for bringing the practice of unit testing into a team of developers who may or may not be interested in persuing unit testing. We will include patterns and approaches for ensuring that the tests that we write are highly legible, maintainable, and bring genuine value to the team. We will learn to structure our unit testing practices so that our efforts do not fade away in time due to lack of upkeep.
Unlike most of my sessions in the past, we won't be writing any code or doing demos in this session. This will be more about the patterns and rules. Target audience is anyone interested in bringing unit tests to their development team, or anyone has struggled to keep unit testing efforts afloat in the past.
