Servicios de soporte DBA para SQL Server

Un DBA debe poder demostrar que los backups se ejecutan a tiempo e identificar bases que se estan desviando de la politica.

SELECT
    d.name AS database_name,
    MAX(CASE WHEN b.type = 'D' THEN b.backup_finish_date END) AS last_full_backup,
    MAX(CASE WHEN b.type = 'I' THEN b.backup_finish_date END) AS last_diff_backup,
    MAX(CASE WHEN b.type = 'L' THEN b.backup_finish_date END) AS last_log_backup
FROM sys.databases AS d
LEFT JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset AS b
    ON b.database_name = d.name
WHERE d.database_id > 4
GROUP BY d.name
ORDER BY last_full_backup ASC;

Esto da un punto de partida rapido cuando los usuarios informan que la aplicacion se queda colgada o la latencia sube de golpe.

SELECT
    r.session_id,
    r.blocking_session_id,
    r.status,
    r.wait_type,

    r.total_elapsed_time,
    DB_NAME(r.database_id) AS database_name,
    SUBSTRING(
        t.text,
        (r.statement_start_offset / 2) + 1,
        (
            (CASE r.statement_end_offset
                WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(t.text)
                ELSE r.statement_end_offset
            END - r.statement_start_offset
            ) / 2
        ) + 1
    ) AS running_statement

ORDER BY r.total_elapsed_time DESC;
