The first SQL Server performance tuning book built from the ground up for the AI era. Every SQL Server book teaches you what to look at. This one teaches you how to think -and how to make AI think with you.
AI-Augmented SQL Server Performance Tuning gives you a complete diagnostic methodology-a structured, repeatable process that starts with wait statistics and drills down through execution plans, indexing strategy, and query rewrites to targeted fixes. Then it does something no other SQL Server book does: it shows you exactly how to load each chapter's framework into an AI assistant so it becomes a precision co-pilot that knows your methodology, your data, and your environment.
What You'll Learn:
The 5-level diagnostic funnel: from "the server is slow" to a specific, targeted fixWait statistics decoded-which waits matter, which are noise, and what to do about each categoryExecution plan analysis: scans, key lookups, spills, implicit conversions, and the operators that actually matterIndexing strategy that balances read performance against write overhead without over-indexingParameter sniffing, plan cache pollution, and the "it was fast yesterday" problemsTempDB contention, memory grants, blocking chains, and deadlock resolutionStatistics, cardinality estimation errors, and why the optimizer makes bad decisionsQuery anti-patterns that silently destroy throughput-and their rewritesBuilding baselines that make future problems immediately visibleA triage playbook for when the phone rings at 2 AMHow to communicate findings to stakeholders in language that drives actionA complete prompt library: copy-paste AI prompts for every chapter's methodology
Who This Book Is For:
Experienced DBAs and SQL Server professionals who want a structured methodology-not a collection of tips-and who are ready to integrate AI into their workflow without handing over the wheel. Software engineers tuning production queries. Team leads who need a framework their entire team can follow consistently.
What Makes This Book Different:
This isn't "let AI write your queries." This is a book about human expertise amplified by AI context . You learn the methodology first. Then you learn how to make AI a force multiplier for that methodology. Every chapter includes an AI Prompt Framework section with ready-to-use prompts that load the chapter's diagnostic approach into any AI assistant.
From the trenches-where theory meets the 2 AM production alert.
