Looking for SQL Server 2012 Performance Tuning training?

SQL Server 2008 Training Overview

Accelebrate’s SQL Server 2008 Performance Tuning training class teaches attendees how to tune their indexes, database engine, queries, and other features to achieve optimal performance.

Note: This course can also be taught using SQL Server 2008 R2. It is designed for administrators, rather than developers, who are new to tuning SQL Server 2008.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This SQL Server training is 50% hands-on, 50% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 40 minutes.

SQL Server 2008 Training Materials

All attendees receive a copy of APress's SQL Server 2008 Query Performance Tuning Distilled (from which the course outline is derived), as well as related course materials.

Software Needed on Each Student PC

  • At least 3GB RAM
  • Windows XP, Vista, 7 or later; or Server 2003, 2008, or 2008 R2 or later, with the latest service packs
