Slow Running Queries are the most common problem that developers face while working with SQL Server. While it's easy to blame SQL Server for unsatisfactory performance, the issue often persists with the way queries are written and how Indexes are set up. The session will focus on the ways of identifying problems that slow down SQL Server and Indexing tricks to fix them. There will be a quiz during the session to keep the conversation alive.
