Building on Rob's introduction to the MDA tables earlier in the year this talk shows how the monitoring tables are a rich source of information that can help you identify and correct the causes of many types of performance problems.

The presentation illustrates how the monitoring tables have been used to diagnose a number of real-life problems. Advanced topics on the use of the monitoring tables are covered examples of applications of these tables that you will be able to apply to your own servers are provided.

The field experiences of a number of Sybase's senior engineers have been drawn on to demonstrate how you can benefit from these tables.
