About this course

Learn the techniques that make SQL Server databases perform at their best. This course focuses on database performance tuning through proper indexing strategies, query optimization techniques, and execution plan analysis. You'll learn to identify bottlenecks using SQL Server's performance tools, implement appropriate index types, and rewrite inefficient queries. The course also covers stored procedures, user-defined functions, and views for encapsulating complex logic and improving maintainability. Through hands-on exercises, you'll analyze real-world performance scenarios and implement solutions that dramatically improve query response times. The integration of AI-assisted optimization techniques shows how modern tools can complement traditional performance tuning methods. By course completion, you'll be able to transform slow-running queries into high-performance database operations.
