Sybase ASE Anti-Patterns
​
Weds 14th July 2021
5pm (90 mins)
​
Joe Woodhouse
​
Design patterns are generalised solutions to recurring problems, intended to be the results of lessons learned and to stop us reinventing the wheel each time. They're how we're supposed to code and to use IT infrastructure. There are also anti-patterns which as the name suggests are the opposite: undesirable approaches to problems, often the result of "learned mistakes" where we inherit or are taught a poor practice which we re-use without ever really thinking about it.
This presentation will discuss common anti-patterns in Sybase ASE at every level: hardware, OS, storage, ASE architecture, database layout, data model, and SQL code. This blends the approaches of performance & tuning, DevOps, and SRE (Site Reliability Engineering).

ASE Temdb Masterclass
Wednesday 29th July 2020
​
Tempdb is part of every ASE and it's not unusual for it to be the busiest database. Tempdb performance is therefore often the bottleneck for your overall ASE performance. Featured at various Sybase conferences since 2011, this presentation has finally been brought up to date for ASE 16.0 SP03 PL08 HF1 and is the definitive reference of literally everything you can do to make tempdb faster. Nothing is out of bounds and everything is considered, from rewriting your queries to buying better hardware to dozens of ASE features which are clearly grouped by each release level. If you can think of a tempdb-specific performance & tuning measure not presented here you will win a small prize from the presenter!
