Title: Performancesteigerung durch Window Functions

Abstract: Durch die Einführung von Window Functions ergeben sich viele neue Ansätze für die Lösung bestehender Aufgaben. In der Vergangenheit haben sich andere Lösungswege etabliert, die aber heute wesentlich eleganter und für die Performance deutlich positiver neu geschrieben werden können. In dieser Session wollen Uwe Ricken und Christoph Muthmann gemeinsam anhand typischer Aufgabenstellungen zeigen, welche alternativen Wege zum Einsatz kommen können. Anschließend werden die Performance-Aspekte dieser Lösungen untersucht und anhand der Ausführungspläne die Auswirkungen auf die Zugriffswege gezeigt. Ziel der Session ist zum einen ein Grundverständnis im Lesen von Ausführungsplänen zu erreichen und zum anderen anzuregen, über das Redesign einiger Queries mittels Window Functions nachzudenken.

Title: Anwenden u. Erweitern des SSIS CatalogDB für ein Logging Framework

Abstract: Seit der Version SQL 2012 haben die Integration Services mit der SSISDB eine eigene Datenbank. Darin werden u.A. die Paketausführungen / bzw. die -Ergebnisse gespeichert. Im Logginglevel VERBOSE/ASUFÜHRLICH werden zusätzlich auch die “verarbeiteten Zeilen” im DataFlow-Task erfasst. Für andere Verarbeitungen z.B. im T-SQL Task ist das Logging anzupassen. Der Vortrag zeigt zunächst die Konfiguration, die Ausführung sowie die Auswertung im DataFlow-Task, so wie das Logging “out-of-the-box” bereits enthalten ist. Anschließend erfolgt ein T-SQL MERGE für eine ‘SlowlyChangingDimension’. Hierbei sind die internen SSISDB StoredProcedures aufzurufen, um das gleiche Logging-Ergebnis zu erhalten. Obgleich SQL 2012 für die .dtsx-Files bereits ein “übersichtlicheres” XML aufweist, sind einige xml-Queries hilfreich, um auch den Admins einen “Blick-ins-Package” zu ermöglichen. ..und fürs Reporting können die 5 enthaltenen Reports mit eigenen ergänzt werden.

Title: Yahoo Cloud Serving Benchmark - MS SQL Server vs. MongoDB

Abstract: Big Data und Cloud-Anwendungen sind zwei Stichworte, die häufig mit der technischen Entwicklung der letzten Jahre in Verbindung gebracht werden. Längst machen sich die Global Player wie Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook oder Twitter Gedanken darüber, wie sich Terabytes der in der Cloud anfallenden Daten besonders effektiv verwalten lassen. An dieser Stelle wird zunehmend die Speichertechnik sogenannter schemaloser bzw. NoSQL-Datenbanken nachgefragt. Ist die erreichbare Performance solcher NoSQL-Datenbanken tatsächlich so viel höher als die der traditionellen relationalen Datenbanken? Dieser Frage soll mit dem von der Firma Yahoo! entwickelten Cloud Serving Benchmark Framework (YCSB) nachgegangen werden. Im Benchmark soll MongoDB als Vertreter der NoSQL-Familie gegen den SQL Server als Kandidat der traditionellen relationalen Systeme antreten. Der Benchmark und die Ergebnisse der Messungen werden erläutert und hinsichtlich der Performance bewertet, verglichen und interpretiert.

Title: SSIS Custom Data Flow Components

Abstract: SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) include several most important components required in data acquisition, transformation, and load operations. If the problem at hand demands a solution that cannot be solved using the built-in components alone, you can resort to the freely extensible Script Component, but when the circumstances also call for a more complex, and more robust solution, that will be deployed to more than one destination server, the more appropriate alternative is to design a Custom Component.In this session you will learn how this can be achieved, what advantages it provides, and how to perform even the most complex data transformations in a standardised and reliable environment.

Title: SSIS und HDInsight - Zwei Welten treffen aufeinander?

Abstract: HDInsight ist der auf Hadoop basierende Dienst von Microsoft, der eine 100-prozentige Apache Hadoop-Lösung in der Cloud zur Verfügung stellt. Mit HDInsight steht eine Cloud-basierte Big Data Plattform zur Verfügung, die Daten jeden Typs und beliebiger Größe, ob strukturiert oder unstrukturiert verwalten kann. Während mit Hadoop Petabytes von unstrukturierten Daten in einigen Stunden verarbeitet werden können, können mit dem SQL Server Terrabytes von strukturierten Daten in wenigen Sekunden verarbeitet werden. Was liegt da näher als die beiden Welten miteinander zu verbinden und Daten zwischen HDInsight und SQL Server zu transferieren?

Title: ROLAP mit der PDW - Endlich der nötige Performanceboost

Abstract: Seit vielen Jahren wird ROLAP als eine Möglichkeit zur Cubebereitstellung angeboten. Die eigentliche Herausforderung, welche wir im jedem Projekt antreffen, ist die Daten auch schnell genug bereitstellen zu können. Mit dem SQL Server 2012 kam ein erster Schritt in die richtige Richtung dank des Column Store. Dieses Feature brachte einen erheblichen Performance-Gewinn. Mit der Einführung der PDW V2 steht dem praktischen Einsatz nichts mehr im Wege. Innerhalb dieser Session möchten wir demonstrieren für welche Zwecke ROLAP sinnvoll ist und für welche nicht.

Title: Database Replication - What, How and Why

Abstract: Database replication doesn’t get much attention, especially now that the AlwaysOn features have been released into the wild.

However, replication offers another way to make data available on multiple servers/locations that steps outside of “normal” HA/DR scenarios.

This session will explain what database replication is, what the different parts are that make up the replication architecture and when/why you would use replication.

The content will be valid for all versions of SQL Server from 2005 onward.
