SQL Server expert Ken Henderson, author of the best-selling Guru's Guides to SQL Server, has assembled a "dream team" of SQL Server developers and support engineers to provide in-depth troubleshooting and diagnostic information that has never been documented before: information that would be impossible to get without access to Microsoft's own source code.

From caching to clustering, query processing to Service Broker, this book will help you address even the toughest problems with database engine operations. Each chapter begins with a brief architectural overview of a key SQL Server component, then drills down into the most common problems users encounter, offering specific guidance on investigating and resolving them. You'll find comprehensive, in-depth chapters on
