@sqL_handLe @sqlstudent144 Wow, an oldie but a goodie! Great explanations @sqL_handLe ! @sqlstudent144 just remember that optimize for sequential key doesn't necessarily make things faster, it makes them more predictable. It smoothes out the spikes so the server doesn't come crashing down.

@sqlstudent144 in this post, @SQLGoddess describes a latch convoy, which can consume all schedulers on a #sqlserver system. mitigating latch convoy for last page is where i think this is very valuable. ~~ Behind the Scenes on OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY 2019 August 16 techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/sqlserver…

@IrishSQL @bweissman Judging from this tweet (are we still calling them that??) I'm guessing it's autocorrect's fault :-P

STOP FUCKING REPLYING ALL

@vickyharp Is it wrong that the first thing that popped into my head was "yum!!!"? Congrats!!!

@bobwardms @AnalyticAnna @SQLServer @slava_oks @AnalyticAnna does it have the CD inside?? If I remember correctly this book shipped with the first version of some killer tools. I never owned it myself, but my career at Microsoft is built on its legacy ❤️

@AnalyticAnna @SQLServer @slava_oks Oh wow. You found my first attempt at writing all thanks to the late, great Ken Henderson.

Just got my copy of @SQLServer 2005 practical troubleshooting for some light Sunday reading. Did/do you have this book? Some authors I recognize include @slava_oks @bobwardms

@shanselman you and Fabulous Batman inspired me, I had to build a Chief Sprinkle Officer minifig at the LEGO store today 😁 #AzureSQL #DoubleSprinklesVMs

HADR in Azure with @SQLGoddess and @tarynpivots . Excellent as usual. #PASSDataSummit

Pretty happy with my superhero alter ego! Thanks @PureStorage #PureStorage #DiskIsDone #PASSDataSummit
