Designing and Tuning high speed data loading

2010

TL; DR

If you want to understand how to load data into Sql Server very quickly then this is the session for you.

Session Details

In almost all data warehouses there is a requirement to quickly get data into SQL Server. In this talk, I will present the different options you have: SSIS vs. T-SQL. We will look at some common design patterns for scalability and take a deeper look at how the Bulk API for SQL Server works.

BigData vs. Data Warehousing

: We are looking at the dawn of a new workload: BigData. In this session I will talk about what BigData is, and which BigData technologies Microsoft are working on.

DW Design With The Product Team

This talk will explain the patterns that we recommend to customers when designing data warehouses. This talk will help people learning about DW for the first time and also give insight for those who wish to learn more.

Relational Modeling for Extreme DW scale

This session is taken from lessons learned in the field on being able to scale data models to handle multi-terabytes of data. Come to this session and understand the difficulties before you encounter them.

Finding the Limits

In this session, I will take simple SQL statements, the stuff you write every day, and bump up the scale until things start breaking
