SQL 2012 Administration: Trace Flags, Blocking, and Locking
with expert Chris Bell
Trace flags are curious things. They actually change the fundamental ways that SQL Server functions. Sometimes these changes are good, sometimes bad, and sometimes just down right odd.Join Chris Bell as he introduces you to some of the trace flags in SQL Server 2012, discussing what they do and what they can actually be used for.Afterwards Chris will present a common occurrence in SQL Server: Blocking. What is it, why does it happen, how can you get more information to help resolve a blocking scenario? These will all be answered along with a quick look into a special, and hopefully rare type of blocking scenario, the Deadlock.
This webinar was originally recorded on September 25, 2013.
