English | Size: 1.35 GB
Category: Tutorial


The most important feature in SQL Server when it comes to getting the required workload performance is probably indexing.

Next you’ll explore the tipping point – when an index can be used or not, the benefits of covering queries, and how to use the INCLUDE option to more effectively cover queries. Finally, you’ll learn how to use filtered indexes and get an introduction to index consolidation for effective server tuning. When you’ve finished this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to start adding and changing indexes in your environment for better performance! [Read more…]
