Investigate in the Console
Move from estate health to the affected server, database, session, query, alert or plan while preserving the context of the incident.
Mini DBA is a SQL Server memory monitoring tool that connects allocation and pressure with waits, queries, cache behaviour and server history so DBAs can identify what changed.
Low available memory does not automatically mean SQL Server needs more RAM. Compare max server memory, workload demand, memory grants, plan cache, buffer activity, operating-system pressure and competing resource signals before changing limits or hardware.
- Review server memory, buffer and cache indicators.
- Connect memory pressure with waits, sessions and expensive queries.
- Use alerts and history to find recurring or growing pressure.
- Ask the AI Assistant to interpret the selected memory context and suggest checks.
One current Mini DBA workflow
The Mini DBA Engine collects monitoring data and evaluates alerts continuously. Teams use the browser Console to investigate live and historical evidence through the current Console and Engine architecture.
Ask the AI Assistant
Optionally send relevant metrics, sessions, alerts and page detail for guided analysis of the problem in front of you.
Query the estate through MCP
Connect an approved MCP-compatible AI client to ask questions across servers, history or managed customer estates.
Deploy for your environment
Install Mini DBA on Windows, host it on a suitable Linux virtual machine, or use the supported container deployment. One Engine suits most environments; additional Engines are optional for advanced multi-site or network-separated estates.
Review installation options or see all database monitoring features.
Investigate the database problem, not just the platform
Use a problem-led workflow across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle and Azure SQL.
