Last week it was wonderful to spend time at the GIDS conference to meet all the enthusiastic developers. Had fun preparing for the session and the number of people who walked to me and say they read this blog makes me really humble and motivated to write more. I love attending and presenting at these conferences because I get an opportunity to meet people and at many times able to answer real world problems.

dbForge Event Profiler is one of the most useful SQL Server “build-in” tools. The Profiler records data associated with various SQL Server events for further analysis.

The tool allows you to view communications between a client and SQL Server, and gives you an insight into its internal performance. To take full advantage of its potential, download dbForge Event Profiler for SQL Server for free now. Let us learn about Analyze SQL Server Data Efficiently.

Some of these practices are powerful and are mean to enhance performance of the box that you have bought.

[Note from Pinal]: This is a 77th episode of Notes from the Field series. Every week, I personally wait for the notes from the fields from Mike because it contains lessons of life which directly impacts DBA and Developer’s life positively. Mike Walsh is an amazing person to meet and know. I am fortunate to be his friend. Every single time I meet him, I learn something as a human. He is always looking for an opportunity to improve the life of DBAs and Developers.
