Hi There
Can you please let me know where we are running this tool or we running this tool against the production environment?? If that is the case then would that not be big overhead on the production environment as I have read in many place that do not run the SQL Server profiler(UI) on production environment, instead just run the script for profiling on the production environment and put them in table and use for analyses purpose
Please update
Many thanks
Syed

I think the question is out of line. Why bother to answer it Pinal?

Nobody cares about 3rd party tools when there are so many in SQL Server already. Useless article

This is my experience with the product. As I mentioned in summary – DB-Optimizer-XE has a lot of great features, but it’s not perfect. Keep in mind that you have to be smarter than the tools you use, so you can’t rely on one program alone to solve all your problems.

Is Embarcadero paying you for this? If so, that is fine but it should be made public so your readership can make an educated decision about this tool.

Thanks for the article. Do you think the tool does a significanlty better job compared to the built in profiling tool in SQL Server itself?
