Today’s blog post created from a recent conversation with one of my customers. They asked me a very interesting question – “When should they hire me for my famous Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check?”. I send them following 10 questions and told them to take a quick quiz about their SQL Server Environment. They replied back to with YES to all the answers. If the answer to any of the following questions in YES, that means user can for sure improve your SQL Server’s Performance.

Initially we decided to ignore this SP as there were quite a lots of other things which we needed to take care to get maximum performance of the server.

One of my client was unable to modify the maintenance plan using SSMS. When we did various tests, we found that existing maintenance plans could execute and work.
