Every day the same types of questions come up repeatedly: Why is this query running slowly? Why is SQL Server ignoring my index? My response is the same in each case: have you looked at the execution plan? An execution plan describes what's going on behind the scenes when SQL Server executes a query. It shows how the query optimizer joined the data from the various tables defined in the query, which indexes it used, if any, how it performed any aggregations or sorting, and much more. It also estimates the cost of all of these operations, in terms of the relative load placed on the system....

Your application can have world-class indexes and queries, but they won't help you if you can't get your data, because another application has it locked. That's why...

Storing large object data in the database offers a number of benefits, but introduces performance challenges. Conversely, storing large object data in the file system has overriding performance advantages, but fails to offer some of the basic data integrity, security and manageability features that are required for business data, and which SQL Server provides. Up to now, most people have adopted file system storage by necessity, and often struggled to overcome the associated shortcomings. This is exactly where SQL Server's new FILESTREAM feature fits in.

In Designing Multi-Device Experiences, author Michal Levin discusses how UX design is currently evolving beyond the boundaries of the single-device model. Until recently, design models for online products considered only the standalone computer or laptop as the platform. Now, in our increasingly multi-device world, a user’s experience with one application can span many devices--a smart phone, a tablet, a computer, the TV, and beyond. In response to this reality, Michal introduces and explores three key patterns she identifies as critical to addressing multi-device design: consistent,...
