Video: Don't Let SQL Server Overestimates Slow Your Queries

- select the contributor at the end of the page -
When creating an execution plan for a query, SQL Server can sometimes over or under estimate the amount of memory required which can greatly affect the performance of concurrently running queries.  In this video excerpt from Joe Sack's new course SQL Server:  Troubleshooting Query Plan Quality Issues you'll see how to catch SQL Server in the act of overestimating memory usage and how that can starve other queries.  In the full course Joe covers other key query plan issues such as resolving NO RECOMPUTE issues, hidden column correlation, and complex predicates.
