Strate SQL

Oct 21 – IT Care - Painting by Numbers, Update Your SQL Skills with New Paintbrushes

star_wars_paint_by_numbers This event is a ways out there but thought I’d start getting the word out now for this free event.  The session will be hosted by yours truly and feature tricks and tips that I’ve picked up and want to spread the word on.

Here is the registration link.

And the details:

Course Overview

ITCare, delivered and hosted quarterly by our Partners is designed to keep you up to date on the cutting-edge technologies. ITCare is a FREE half-day technical seminar series created by IT Professionals for IT Professionals! We'll address the needs and issues today and show you how to make a real difference in the way that you work.

Objectives

While not everyone may not be a great painter, there is an art form to writing great SQL statements. In this session we'll go over tips and tricks in writing SQL. We'll also review some popular bad practices and provide demonstrations to better change those velvet Elvis's to Rembrandts. As every paint brush can't produce a masterpiece, the same goes for SQL statements. Writing good SQL code requires the right brush. After this session, you'll have a few more paintbrushes and probably throw out a few that are no longer useful.

1. Review and discussion of common coding methods can impact performance.
2. Discussion of uncommon coding methods that can be used to improve performance.
3. Review and application of existing T-SQL functions.
