SQL Server Database Performance Tuning and Optimization

SQL SERVER tuning tip:

If you have complex query with multiple joins and aggregations,
consider splitting it in multiple steps, by storing intermediate results in temporary tables or table variables.
This way load will be distributed in time and will not cause CPU, IO or Memory pressure.

	SQL Server Performance Tuning

Experiencing SQL Server database performance problems with a mission critical application? Did your SQL server started slowing down?

Many companys simply throw thousands of dollars at their server hardware, only to receive minimal, incremental improvements in database performance.

Only 1% of issues can be attributed to the bottle neck on hardware side or absense of regular maintenance like de-fragmentation or SQL Server bug.

In most cases the root cause of the issue is poor database architecture, code and data integrity issues, including:

Poorly designed schema
Bad choice and improper use of indexes
Lack of data integrity enforcement
Poorly coded Stored Procedures, Triggers and Views
Poorly coded Queries
Improper use of CLR prcedures and functions
Improper use of optimization hints
Buggy application code

All these issues can be resolved simply by code optimization and some re-design.

We have an extensive experience tuning SQL Server applications for optimal performance and reliability in extremely big and complex databases environments. Our expert database engineers can find the SQL Server slowdowns and apply proven remedial database design techniques to substantially increase database performance and improve data integrity.
