Dear SQL Server administrators,

Are you desperately searching for a way to enhance your SQL Server skills – especially when it comes to performance tuning? Yesterday your SQL Server was running smoothly, but today’s performance is very bad? Your end users are complaining? And You have no idea what the problem is nor how to solve it?

Because of these reasons I’m holding my SQL Server Performance Tuning Workshop that will cover everything you need to know about SQL Server performance tuning. Take a look at what you get:

Whether you are “new” to SQL Server performance tuning and you want everything from the “BASICS” on up to the “EXPERT” level, that’s what you’ll get at my workshop. I don’t leave ANYTHING out. You’ll also appreciate the REAL-WORLD KNOW-HOW you will get from attending my workshop. It’s not “theory” or “wishful thinking.”

Here is some feedback

Filip from Beerse, Belgium

"This training on SQL Server performance tuning was extremely interesting. Klaus taught me lot of things I was not aware of. I especially loved the tips he gave on common mistakes and wrong concepts about SQL Server. Such information, coming from an independent expert (“expert” is still very understimated when talking about Klaus’ knowledge), is a lot more valuable than spending hours reading and googling. This training has a high return on investment and anyone who is seriously working with SQL Server should attend this workshop."

"It does not matter how long you have been working with databases, there is so much in this course that you are guaranteed to learn a great deal. I have been working with databases for 20 years and I have never gained as much knowledge of database internals in such a short period. I have been searching for some time for a course like this and this is packed with valuable techniques and tips."

"The workshop was very well structured, a very good mix between theory and practical examples. I had a lot of light bulb moments and it gave me a much better feeling for the practical techniques that can be used in the field and how things are related. I’m looking forward to apply what I’ve learned in the near future. Make no mistake, the course and topics are challenging, but your effort will be rewarded!"

"Five days of pure SQL knowledge were described in excellent manner. The day after I was able to understand the behavior of my databases and its execution plans in a much better way. I also know how important a good index strategy can be and how I can handle the locking und blocking behavior within my databases. Klaus explained all the necessary knowledge in a simple way and showed everything with a lot of good examples. Thank you."
