Which Administrators database am I searching for?

  • A few years ago I found an article from/about some1 who had created a database for DBA's, which had all kind of special reports which gave you all kind of interesting info on the status of an instance or a specific database: things like top 100 most expensive queries, procedures, failed jobs, max waittimes on al kinds of things, what-have-you I have tried several search phrases, but can't find it. I know it was also mentioned in an article here in SSC.

    Does any1 know what database I mean? I know it was made for SQL2005, did not work well on 2008, so I lost sight of it. Now I'm working at a company where they use SQL2005, where this DB would be a tremendous help to analyze and manage the SQL Server instances.

    Help me find this database, any hints & help would be appreciated.

  • Looks like performance dashboard for SQL Server 2005: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22602.

  • Tnx, this sure is helpful. I wonder though if this is the Real Thing. As I recall this database was designed and build by a private person and had it's own database; here everything is created in msdb. For one thing, I cannot copy text from the reports generated, like queries or xml.

    But it is still helpful, tnx again.

  • You can actually export reports to Excel and copy text from there. That's what I do when I need it.
