Course feedback: 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Jäin koolitusega väga rahule. Oli väga laiapõhjaline ja ka meeldivalt detailne. Õppisin päringute jälgimist baasis. Henn on hea suhtleja, keda on meeldiv jälgida. Sain kindlasti juurde vähemalt ühe öökapiraamatu."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Uued teadmised on juba käiku läinud. Koolitusel õppisin: force query plan, indekseeritud viewd, query store võimalusi kasutades koormavate päringute leidmist, execution plan-ist actual ja estimated ridade arvu erinevuse järgi statistika ümberarvutamise vajaduse leidmist. Henn jagas palju näiteid ja kõrvalpõiked excelisse olid ka huvitavad."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Meeldis, et teooria ja praktikumid käisid käsikäes.
Tean nüüd paremini, mis serveri 'kõhus' toimub ja sain ka ülevaate, kust mida otsida. Töötame niikuinii tihedalt haldusega koos. Halduse inimestega vesteldes, tean paremini, mis serveris toimub ja kas mingit featuuuri võiks sisse-välja lülitada jne."
