Parameter Sniffing – What is and How to deal with it

Antonios Chatzipavlis
Monday 11 March 2013

Ένα από τα θέματα που σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις μας έχει ταλαιπωρήσει ιδιαίτερα αν δεν το γνωρίζουμε είναι το parameter sniffing.

Έχω κατά καιρούς διαβάσει και δει διάφορες προτάσεις για την αντιμετώπιση του.

Επειδή όμως δεν ήθελα απλά να το περιγράψω σε ένα ίσως μακροσκελές κείμενο αποφάσισα να το κάνω ένα web cast που ζωντανά δείχνω όλο το θέμα χωρίς slides αλλά με παραδείγματα.

Enjoy it.
