This blog is not just another SQLCommunity service pro

marketing tip – No, because I am absolutely, positively (still amazed myself)

to officially announce the impending, upcoming and yes, featured book on the awesome

April Apress collection of print and e-books available for pre-order, my authorship

of the one and only Healthy

SQL!

You’ve seen the presentation, you’ve seen the blog, and I’ve

been discussing the launch of the international Healthy SQL campaign – and now,

the BOOK!  I won’t give it all away (well

if you are attending the NYC SQLSaturday #380, on

May 30, 2015, I will be, but I digress); so if you are looking for [NOT]

another performance tuning book, but a Comprehensive Guide to Healthy SQL

Server Performance, then this is the must-have DBA book for you!

Whether you are a senior DBA, mid-level DBA, junior DBA,

accidental DBA, DBA consultant, or someone who manages a SQL Server

environment, this book will organize your DBA day and help you excel in your

DBA career.  My book (wow that sounds

nice) talks all about what a health check is and helps you put in place a

rigorous routine to monitor, manage and report on the continous performance health of your

SQL Server database(s).

Healthy

SQL is about ensuring the ongoing

performance health of a SQL Server database. An unhealthy database is not just

an inconvenience; it can bring a business to its knees. And if you are the

database administrator, the health of your SQL Server implementation can be a

direct reflection on you. It's in everyone's best interest to have a healthy

SQL implementation. Healthy SQL is built around the concept of a medical health

checkup, giving you the tools you need to assess the current health of your

database and take action to improve upon that health and maintain good

performance to your business. We discuss best practices, and preventative medicine.

You can learn

more about HealthySQL and how you can pre-order your copy now directly from

not a joke – I ain’t fooling you.  I’m
