6 Things I learned at SQLSaturday #94 (#sqlsat94)
Today was an awesome day filled with much learning and some networking. To quickly summarize my experience at SQLSaturday here in Salt Lake City, I’ve compiled my list of 6 things that I learned today from the sessions I attended.
- When evaluating performance of a query, logical reads matter more than duration.
- If you think that Reports in Reporting Services are boring, you need to learn to use F4.
- SQL Server has its own, trimmed down version of the CLR.
- Don’t be afraid to be uncomfortable.
- Document before, during, and after a process.
- Before investigating another 3rd party reporting tool, download Report Builder and give it a whirl.
Unfortunately, these points don’t even begin to cover everything there was to learn today. I want to thank Randy Knight (blog|@randy_knight), Doug Lane (blog|@douglane4), Mitch Bottel (blog|@SacSQLDude), and TJay Belt (blog|@tjaybelt) for their excellent presentations. Finally, thanks to all the sponsors for making these events possible. For those of you that have a SQLSaturday coming to your area, I strongly recommend you attend.
