[...] All the four tabs provide very important information; however, the one which I refer most is “Recent Expensive Queries.” Whenever I find my server running slow or having any performance-related issues, my first reaction is to open this tab and see which query is running slow. I usually look at the query with the highest number for Average Duration. The Recent Expensive Queries monitors only show queries which are in the SQL Server cache at that moment.

I am just wondering why regions can be implemented with same syntax as used in Visual Studio, this style is great PITA because it doesn’t work in VS.

Whats wrong with this syntax :

#region RegionType 1

#endregion

We have noticed that in SSMS 2008 when you open a table to display data, the tab text (or MDI Title) does NOT contain the table name as it did in 2000 and 2005. It there anyway to get it to behave the old way? (I’ve been through the Tools\Options but haven’t found anything).

This is a major pain for us and we are wondering why MS would remove this display option.

Thanks in advance,

Ron Thomas

Dave,

I don’t know if you noticed, but Intellisense in Query Editor works only when you connect to SQL Server 2008. It worked with older versions while 2008 was in beta, but Microsoft turned it off in final version.

Since it’s hard to live without Intellisense once you tried it, you can take a look at DbOctopus.

Among other features it has intellisense which works with older versions of SQL Server too.

Btw. we’re currently giving away free licenses, so it’s practically a free tool for now.
