  • SSMS is decoupled from SQL. You need to install that separately.

    That was the issue. Figured that out about 2 seconds after I hit "post"

    Christmas in June!!!

    The purchase of some Red Gate tools finally got approved by my boss. 😀

    Feels like I've been begging forever. I'm not trying to promote those tools over any other ones mind you. However, I will say that the tools I did demo were very intuitive and I was able to put them to good use right away.

    In retrospect, not having some of these types of tools at first probably helped me in the long run though. Had to learn to do some things the old fashioned way. lol

    Yeah. Good to hear, and let us know what things you want improved. There is some movement and refocus to update and improve the tools here and there, outside of the big work on Compare and Monitor.

    I'm guessing you probably can't mention anything about the 'big work' on Monitor but I will mention the same thing I told the sales rep. I do wish there was a little more focus on SQL Azure (PaaS). I realize that there are no exposed perfmon metrics/WMI on that platform but you already query DMV's on local instances so why not on Azure? That would be my only gripe but overall I'm pretty happy thus far. SQL Compare has been an absolute joy!

    I'm interested. What would you want to see for Azure monitoring? DTU certainly, but you can get that from the portal. What else?

    It's true the portal does offer a variety of charts to choose from for monitoring, but it would be nice to consolidate all that information in one location. That being said the usual suspects would be great.

    -Query Performance

    -Wait Stats

    -DB Sizes

    -Connections

    Also I do believe Azure v12 includes some new DMV's to choose from.

    OK. Fair enough. Pretty much the stuff I expect. There are new DMVs too. sys.dm_db_wait_stats is my favorite, waits for a database.

    I put in a request to ask for this last month, via connect? I love using this DMV in Azure SQL Database.

    I wish, but I've got a social club meeting from 5pm til 6.

    I think I'll celebrate it tomorrow.

    I must admit that it looks like as good a reason as any, but I don't think I'll ever have my long-term list done. Aside from normal work, there's the "nothing urgent, get it done when I have time" stuff that I actually want to do.

  • I'll leave the office early, to take a vehicle in for service.

    But I have to come back :hehe:

    Gail was kind enough to point out to me that this is just permission to leave the office early. It doesn't mean you stop working...

    Yeah, she's depressing like that.

    After leaving the office after 8pm everyday for 2 years, I've been celebrating this everyday for the last year. 😀

    Somehow, 4pm seems too early to leave the office.

    EDIT: Who stole my second "o" in too?

    The looks I get for leaving at 4pm, yet they do not know that I walk in at 7am.

    This is always a problem for early-starters.

    I suggest that you return the favour to those who just about manage to rumble in at 9am.

    I'm in the same boat. I've always been one to start early and leave on time.
