Performance tuning with SQL Monitor: tempdb usage, parameter sniffing, and blocking chains

Looking to level up your performance tuning game? Check out three new videos on tempdb, unstable query plans, and identifying blocking chains with SQL Monitor.

DBAle 27: Continuous Delivery with Chris, Chris and Santa

In this cracker of a DBAle episode, you can not only hear, but see our Chris-tmas duo as they embark on an end-to-end database journey where even the beers are getting Festiv-O.
