This nifty, free tool helps you to identify poorly configured SQL Servers. Give it a try and let us know what you think. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...1F-D3CA-44EE-893E-9E07339C1F22&displaylang=en ----------------------------- Brad M. McGehee, MVP Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com
That tool is quite nifty. I hope in future version they allow creation of custom rules, then it would be really sweet. I ran it against a few of our servers and found some things that we missed. I will likely run this against all of our servers.
From what I heard at PASS, the final version will allow for custom rules. ----------------------------- Brad M. McGehee, MVP Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com

That is a very nifty tool, epseically the Yukon Readiness bit. Some of the rules seem a bit over-the-top, but you can always leave them out. Thanks for poitning it out, Brad! Tom Pullen DBA, Oxfam GB
Very nifty tool. The question is, how to tell developers: guys Microsoft said you have about 400 (real case, no imanginary) recomendations to improve your software. Thanks Brad.

I think the original version caused a problem to a few people - it's been updated, so if you did download it, download it again. _________ Satya SKJ Moderator SQL-Server-Performance.Com
I will, but when I see recomendations like " there is a begin transaction without commit", in a lot of SP, I don't think is because Beta.

This problem is more likely to occur when writing nested stored procedures. _________ Satya SKJ Moderator SQL-Server-Performance.Com
