Welcome to the Leicester SQL Server User Group. Pass Official Chapter

We meet three times a year, in February, June, and October, and aim to provide presentations on a wide range of SQL Server related topics. Details of our next meeting are in the EventBrite link on the left.

We use the Percy Barrett room at the YMCA on East Street in Leicester, obliquely opposite the train station. We'll start at 6:15pm, have a break around 7:45, and finish at about 9:00, just in time for a swift

In addition to support from Microsoft and SQLPass, we're sponsored by Pluralsight - Hardcore Developer Training, and CampusMVP.net, for more details on these you'll need to come to a user group event.

SQL Server 2012 Memory Management?

SQL Server 2012 brings a wide range of changes from its previous versions - one key change is the way SQL Server memory is managed.

With releases prior to SQL Server 2012, there were 2 memory managers, these have been merged into 1 with the latest version, and that’s just the start of the changes for SQL Server memory.

This session will dive into questions related to memory in SQL Server 2012.

Session Takeaways:
• Explore SQL Server 2012’s new memory architecture and learn how to diagnose memory performance issues
• Gain insight on memory pressure issues
• Discover settings to adjust the memory configuration levels and their impact
