SAN FRANCISCO – April 2, 2012 – Join industry expert Karen Morton for a free webinar on the “Best Practices for Developing Optimally Performing SQL” on April 5 at 6:00am and 11:00am PDT. Morton, an OakTable Network Member and an Oracle ACE member, will reveal the importance of planning first, the key questions to ask during the process, and how to use “what if” analysis to ensure that the code is performing its best.
 
Anyone interested in attending this webinar sponsored by Embarcadero can register at:http://www.embarcadero.com/landing-pages/best-practices-for-developing-optimally-performing-sql and choose to attend any one of the two sessions at 6 a.m. or 11 a.m. PDT.

In this webinar, attendees will take away best practices such as:

  • Plan first - There’s almost always more than one way to write a SQL statement. Cover your bases.
  • Ask questions - You have to “tune the question, not the query”. The more questions you ask, the deeper your understanding.
  • Focus on the journey, not the destination - If you are only focused on what the query answer/result is, you’ll likely overlook how you write SQL.  Typically, how and why are more important questions to ask.
  • Gather data - You have to know/understand the resource consumption of your SQL in order to know if it will perform well (both short and long term).
  • Play “what if” - Try to determine what would happen if certain conditions occurred. Things like data volume increase and number of users can have an effect on how your query will perform. “What if” games will help you think about scalability.
  • Instrument your code - Add a way to monitor and trace your code easily on demand.
  • TTT (Test To Destruction) - Test, test, test!
