Hi,

Very nice article!

Readers can discover a lot more about improving SQL performance via DMVs in this recently published book "SQL Server DMVs in Action" www.manning.com/stirk. It contains more than 100 scripts to identify problems, and offers a wide range of solutions.

Chapters 1 and 3 can be downloaded for free. Chapter 1 includes scripts for:

A simple monitor

Finding your slowest queries

Find your missing indexes

Identifying what SQL is running now

Quickly find a cached plan

Thanks

Ian
