Tech Talks: “Writing Optimal SQL”
Wednesday, April 29, 2020
3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Via Zoom
Please join Amit Poddar, Enterprise Architect, ITS Platform Services & Support for this virtual Tech Talk via Zoom on “Writing Optimal SQL.”
Many applications use relational databases such as Oracle or Microsoft SQLServer as their backend. A lot of these applications suffer from SQL performance issues.
Since a SQL statement does not prescribe any execution details, many application developers incorrectly attribute SQL performance issues as a general database performance issue.
By understanding some of the details behind execution plans, modern database optimizer calculations, and execution plan generation, it is possible for the application developers to address, or prevent many performance issues.

Security is everyone’s job… But, not in the same way. - Paul Rivers
In this session, Paul will discuss the role InfoSec is playing in supporting the University during this pandemic, lessons learned, and how we are adjusting strategically going forward.
