DESCRIPTION:
A Necessary and Important Reference Manual You know those technical manuals that sit on your desk, slowly collecting little post-it tabs with notes on them, the spines are cracked, the covers are wrinkled, when people come to borrow them you snatch it from their hands? You know those books? Yeah, well, this is one of them. I've only owned it for a few days, but I've already opened it several times to look stuff up, even stuff I had just finished reading.I really like the approa. It's like reading two useful books at once Noel McKinney Reading this was like absorbing the knowledge of two books at the same time, with one book on performance tuning and the other on dynamic management objects. I bought this book primary to learn more about dynamic management objects, but was surprised by the high coverage of performance tuning in general (and not just as pertains to dynamic management objects). The focus is still on use of dynamic management objects, but you can learn m. The Devilish DMOs Have Been Demystified The biggest pain of Dynamic Management Views/Objects is that they often aren't that well documented, and you spend too much time figuring out which ones to use to diagnose which problems. This book helped to bridge that divide. It breaks it down by problem type, so you know which views to use, and which ones complement each other.

This book investigates all of the DMVs that are most frequently useful to the DBA in investigating query execution, index usage, session and transaction activity, disk IO, and how SQL Server is using or abusing the operating system. In fact, however, once you start to write your own scripts, you'll see the same tricks, and similar join patterns, being used time and again. Firstly, some DBAs are simply unaware of the depth and breadth of the information that is available from the DMvs, or how it might help them troubleshoot common issues. * Find out where SQL Server is spending time waiting for resources to be released, before proceeding * Monitor usage and growth of tempdb The DMVs don't make existing, built-in, performance tools obsolete. Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) are a significant and valuable addition to the DBA's troubleshooting armory, laying bare previously unavailable information regarding the under-the-covers acti
