SQL Monitor Custom Metric: Performance-Related Database Settings

If you manage a server where you are not in complete control of the creation of databases, or you’re unfamiliar with what settings to change, you may miss things out or set them incorrectly. This metric could pick up on issues that affect performance in obscure ways, and saves you having to search for them when a system suddenly stops performing as you would expect.

Question of the Day

A Quick Restore

While doing some testing of an application, I wanted to reset my environment after doing some testing with this code:

USE DNRTest

BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO
/*
Bunch of stuff tested here
*/RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
What happens if this runs, assuming the "bunch of stuff" isn't anything affecting the instance.
