 Resolving Deadlocks with Plan Explorer
Plan Explorer is the most popular and powerful free tool available for Microsoft SQL Server, and should be in every developer’s toolbox. This session will teach you how to use Plan Explorer to both improve SQL Server query performance and squash elusive deadlocks. We will cover new features including live query performance profiling and playback, actual plan recosting, index and statistics analysis, as well as saving and sharing your query tuning sessions.
