Balance the load across different platforms. One way to do this is through pushdown optimization. I asked leading trainer in Russia on development and administration of Informatica products, Alexey Ananyev, to share about […]

Recently, I was somewhat surprised to find out that in one of the departments of the large company where I work, launching SQL profiler during business hours is prohibited. I don't know how they manage to analyze performance issues that occur during business hours. Performance views often do not provide an accurate picture, especially if one or two procedures/queries are causing the slowdown without heavily loading the system. […]
