Index Methods You're Not Using

Jes Borland, Premier Field Engineer Microsoft

There are index methods in SQL Server that can enhance the performance of your queries – but most likely, you aren't using them!

If you have a solid knowledge of index basics and want to add to your collection, this is the session for you.
