Hi all,
This is an extremely important set of views and objects that really opens up what is going on in the inside of SS, and MS has *finally* taken this very welcome step to allow us to look at this info easily. Btw, Oracle has had this functionality for a very long time - these were called "V$" performance views and were around since V7. I (and most Oracle DBAs as well) regularly use these to quickly determine issues in Oracle. In fact so many books have been written about this, I have lost count!
I mention all of this to say that we are possibly at the cusp of really being able to break into this black box of MS performance, and hence I am excited!
Regards to all,
