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 helps DBAs connect the user-visible slowdown to the waits, resource pressure, blocking or query plan responsible for it.
Effective tuning starts by identifying the actual constraint. The Console lets you move between live activity, historical trends, query evidence and execution plans without losing the affected server and time context.
- Find the waits and resources limiting throughput.
- Inspect blocking, deadlocks, expensive queries and execution plans.
- Compare current performance with retained metric and query history.
- Use AI Assistant to explain evidence and produce a DBA-reviewed next-step plan.
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.
Blocking and lock contention
Find the lead blocker and understand every waiting session.
Investigate blocking →Deadlock analysis
Preserve participants, statements and resources after the event.
Analyse deadlocks →Query performance
Prioritise expensive workload and inspect execution plans.
Analyse queries →Performance history
