Wait Statistics – The Top 5 Waits You Should Know – August Monthly Meeting
Wait statistics are a great tool for troubleshooting performance problems in SQL Server.

Even after discovering that SQL Server is waiting for something, most DBAs don’t know where to look next. In this session, we’ll examine 5 of the most frequently seen wait types in SQL Server and how to troubleshoot each of them. You’ll learn how to determine the root cause of a particular wait type, and how to avoid common mistakes made when troubleshooting with wait statistics.
