SUMMARY:Top 10 Administrator Mistakes on Microsoft SQL Server
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft SQL Server is easier to administrate than any other relational database on the market.&nbsp; But<br />
&ldquo;easier than everyone else&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t mean it&rsquo;s easy.&nbsp; And it doesn&rsquo;t mean that database administration<br />
on SQL Server is problem free.&nbsp; And since SQL Server is constantly growing from small, home-grown applications, many IT professionals end up encountering issues that others had tackled and solved<br />
years ago.&nbsp; Why not learn from those who first blazed the trails of database administration, so that we don&rsquo;t make the same mistakes over and over again.&nbsp; In fact, wouldn&rsquo;t you like to learn about those mistakes before they ever happen?<br />
<br />
This session will answer questions like:<br />
<ul>
    <li>What&rsquo;s the mistake most likely to cost a DBA their job?</li>
    <li>Why do inexperienced database administrators make their own job more difficult and less efficient? </li>
    <li>Where can I get time-tested scripts so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?</li>
</ul>
<br />
There is a short list of mistakes that, if you know of them in advance, will make your life much easier.&nbsp; These mistakes are the &ldquo;low hanging fruit&rdquo; of application design, development, and administration.&nbsp; Once you apply the lessons learned from this session, you&rsquo;ll find yourself performing at a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness than before.<br />
<br />
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of SQL Server architecture, development, design, and administration.<br />
