Checking CHECKDB
One of the recommendations for SQLServer is that you run a DBCC CHECKDB regularly on your system. Those individuals that have worked with SQL Server for some time and worked on learning more about the system know to schedule this … Continue reading
Update Oddness for SQL Server
I’ve been meaning to patch some of my development instances. With a little spare time while doing other work, I started the process the other day. My first step was to patch SQL Server 2016 with SP2. This went as … Continue reading
Checking Tempdb with dbatools
I really like the dbatools project. This is a series of PowerShell cmdlets that are built by the community and incredibly useful for migrations between SQL Servers, but also for various administrative actions. I have a short series on these … Continue reading

More SQL Server Updates
This was a busy week for updates. I finished adding new builds to the build lists for 2017, 2016, and 2014, the first time I’ve done all three platforms on the same day. To be fair, two updates were on the 19th and … Continue reading
Template Configuration
One of my goals this year is to really spend some time learning more about Extended Events (XE). I’m somewhat embarassed that almost a decade after their introduction in SQL Server 2008, I have a fairly rudimentary grasp of the … Continue reading
