The August meeting for the Ohio North Database Training user group was held on Tuesday, August 3, 2021. Our speaker was Kimberly Tripp (b | t), and the session title was Stored Procedure Optimization Techniques. The session was not recorded, but you can download the slide deck and demos here.
Abstract: Kimberly will discuss stored procedure caching and the potential for performance problems due to a problem known as parameter sniffing. There are some common solutions and while they can drastically improve performance, they can also cause other problems. Sometimes a hybrid solution is needs, from this session, you’ll know the best way to write procedures so that stable requests are cached and unstable requests are not (giving you the most optimal performance without wasting resources).
