Plan it right for optimum performance―from the ground up!
Make your database applications
- More productive
- More reliable
- Simpler to use
With Microsoft(r) SQL Server: Designing and Building a High Performance Database, you'll learn how to develop the blueprint for a Microsoft SQL Server database that will grow with your unique needs. Make the most of the Microsoft SQL Server by mastering the structural approach that gives you high performance from Day 1, and keep your system running at its best throughout its lifetime.
Efficient design―Some databases seem to grow almost organically, without any logical form. Learn to evaluate your requirements and create a customized structure that will handle the way you really use your database. Master the three forms of normalization and when to use them. Discover the strategies that lead to a successful index, including structure, columns, keys, data types, and clustering. Unlock the power of the Microsoft SQL Server optimizer to get the highest degree of performance.
Effective access―Users judge a database by what it can do for them. When you understand the power of stored procedures and triggers, you'll be able to make transactions quick and easy for users at all levels, as well as simplifying many programming tasks. You'll also learn how to assess your network's capabilities to minimize traffic and improve distribution by taking advantage of Microsoft SQL Server's facility with joins, batches, searches, and tables. Get insider's tips on powerful features including transactions, cursors, and concurrency.
Ongoing performance tuning―Data always grows faster than the storage and hardware that accommodate it. Using Microsoft SQL Server's monitoring tools, you can find and fix problem areas before they become a drag on performance. Master the secrets of disk management and replication to optimize your database engine's capacity.
Testing for success―When you're ready to put your new plans to work, you'll need accurate feedback before you implement change. Learn the essentials of a successful testing environment, and the planning strategies for an effective roll-out of your innovations.
Learn from experience―Five detailed case studies show how a range of organizations have used Microsoft SQL Server to maximize their database power. You may recognize situations you have already faced, and see the experts' solutions.
Microsoft SQL Server: Designing and Building a High Performance Database is packed with experience and tips, but it's not just for application developers. Database administrators, systems analysts, and system administrators can all learn the basics of Microsoft SQL Server applications, without having to master all the intricacies of the Microsoft SQL Server engine.
Microsoft SQL Server: Designing and Building a High Performance Database also includes a free disk containing SQL Replay, a performance monitor designed specifically for Microsoft SQL Server. Use it to analyze processes, measure user activity, uncover bottlenecks, isolate locked tables, and benchmark overall server activity.
For Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0 and newer.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
