Wait stats in SQL Server are a powerful diagnostic tool that help you understand where SQL Server is spending time waiting for resources. They can reveal performance bottlenecks in your system, such as slow disk I/O, CPU pressure, lock contention, or inefficient queries.
In this webinar, our resident SQL Server experts Randy Knight and Rich Benner will discuss the value of wait stats and the best practices for using them. Join us and see how invaluable they can be in solving performance issues, and learn how to turn raw wait data into real performance wins.

In addition, he has numerous Novell, Microsoft, and Cisco legacy certifications.
Prior to founding SSG, he spent many years as a Database Administrator in a variety of industries, including financial services, telecommunications, and with well-known dot com properties. As a data professional, Randy says he has done lots of fun stuff, encountering the most interesting data during his time as database architect for match.com (and no, he didn’t meet his wife while working there).
