Chapter 12. Optimizing SQL Server 2008

Since the inception of SQL Server 7.0, the database engine has been enabled for self-tuning and managing. With the advent of SQL Server 2008, these concepts have reached new heights. When implemented on an optimized platform (as described in Chapter 11) with a properly configured SQL Server instance that has also been well maintained, SQL Server 2008 remains largely self-tuning and healing. In this chapter we introduce and discuss the SQL Server 2008 technologies needed to accomplish this feat.
