Online Course: SQL Server Locking, Blocking and Row Versions


Five On-Demand Sessions Start on Oct. 11, 2011 and End Nov. 10, 2011


Course Overview

In SSWUG.ORG’s virtual class, you will learn about locking, blocking and row versions, which are some of the most important topics to understanding SQL Server’s internal behavior. By the end of the five sessions, you will know how these technologies are used to manage SQL Server concurrency - the ability of multiple users to access data at the same time.

Kalen Delaney, course instructor and celebrated author of SQL Server 2008 Internals, will start by discussing what consistency might mean to one’s applications, and describe the details of how each of the concurrency models works internally. She will examine the costs and trade-offs between the two concurrency models that SQL Server 2008 supports through different transaction isolation levels.

The target audience of this class is administrators, developers or IT professionals who have some experience with SQL Server Management Studio and TSQL queries, as well as an understanding of basic transactional work processing. Most importantly, students should want to learn more about the way SQL Server works internally and how to take advantage of the inner working to create the best performing system and applications possible.

Session Descriptions

Throughout the 30-day course, you will learn how to:

  • Design an application with concurrency in mind
  • Understand the ways SQL Server manages concurrent user access
  • Spot causes of poor application performance
  • Troubleshoot concurrency problems
  • Recognize the details of both concurrency models – optimistic and pessimistic
