Simon Sabin's Sessions
Performance tuning from the fieldSQLBits 2011
In this session we will look at some common practices I have seen in the field that cause performance problems. We will diagnose the cause of the problem and the resolution to the problem.

Encapsulating common code in fucntions is one of the first things you learn as a programmer. However with SQL Server functions can be very bad for performance. In this session we will examine scalar functions in both TSQL and in .Net.
You will come away from this session understanding the pitfalls of TSQL functions and how you can make them run 100 times faster.
