If you’ve never considered using SQL server performance analysis tools before, or want to know more about them, you may be surprised by their level of functionality. The bottom line is that this software is designed to make your job easier, more productive, and to give you better results. Here are some of the main features.
What does it do?
Tools such as the miniDBA give you a detailed view into the SQL Server’s performance at every level. This allows you to diagnose issues as soon as they arise, allowing you to fine tune your server to achieve optimal performance levels.
It not only provides you with SQL Server information, but also other performance metrics. For example, you can view data about server memory, CPU load which is not related to SQL instance, and logical and physical disk performance. It is compatible with Linux and RDS, as well as Azure SQL Database.
What are the benefits?
The main advantage of the tool is that it allows you pinpoint which SQL Server instance is running slowly and why. This means that you don’t have to wait for an administrator to help solve the problem for you. The database can be maintained at an optimal level with minimal time and effort, making your overall outcomes faster and of better quality.
The miniDBA tool will run health check diagnostic reports, and can instantly identify issues with the disk, memory, and security.
How easy is it to use?
The software can either run in the background and you can view the data as required, or you can use it proactively to fine tune and strategically plan how to use the server and database. It requires no prior specialist knowledge to use, and there are built in links to guide you to the relevant operating information for any given function of the software.
