SQL Cache – optimising database performance and improving application performance

icon

Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Faster query analysis - You will learn how to read execution plans and spot where SQL wastes time on unnecessary work, so you can identify the real source of performance issues much faster.

icon

Effective cache usage - You will understand when caching truly improves database performance and when it only adds complexity, helping you choose the right approach for a specific workload.

icon

Better table design - You will see how table structure, keys, and relationships affect SQL speed, so you can design data models that handle growing query volume more efficiently.

icon

Hands-on CACHE OBJECTS - You will work through queries and examples based on CACHE OBJECTS, giving you practical ways to reduce data access time in tasks that repeat across business applications.

icon

Automation with procedures - You will learn how stored procedures support automation and optimize recurring database operations, helping you reduce manual work and organize database logic more cleanly.

icon

Smoother system integration - You will explore how to connect SQL databases with external applications and analytics tools, so you can reduce delays and make better use of data across your environment.

icon

Cache control skills - You will learn how to manage and clear cache in a controlled way, which helps you avoid stale-data issues and maintain more predictable database behavior over time.

icon

Awareness of limitations - You will understand the limits of CACHE SQL and CACHE OBJECTS, so you can assess implementation risks and avoid solutions that look fast in tests but fail in production.

14. Explanation of processes related to managing and clearing cache in SQL databases

15. Discussion of limitations related to the use of CACHE in SQL

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

SQL basics - You should be comfortable writing simple SQL queries with SELECT, WHERE, JOIN, and ORDER BY, so you can focus on performance topics instead of core syntax.

icon

Understanding data relations - You should understand tables, rows, columns, keys, and relationships, because the training builds on these concepts and shows how they affect query speed.

icon

Database hands-on practice - You should have practical experience performing common data operations in an SQL database, so you can apply the caching techniques to tasks you already know.

icon

Query logic knowledge - You should understand subqueries as well as basic SQL functions and operators, because the training refers to them when analyzing plans and optimizing database work.
