Kevin Kline – Troubleshooting and Performance Tuning Microsoft SQLServer with Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) The festivities started on Friday with our three Pre-Con events. Kevin [...] Anyone who reads this blog should know that I’m a fan of Todd McDermid and his free Kimball Slowly Changing Dimension Transform.
