    Hello,

    I will be taking over the role of a SQL Server DBA for my company. Our SQL Servers have always been maintained by our Server Admins. I will be going to training in about a week. I would like any suggestions on what I should begin looking at when I come back from training. I am familair with SQL Server Versions 2005, 2008, and 2008 R2 from a developers viewpoint. The DBA role will be new to me. What would be some of the first issues I should address as I take over the responsibility of these databases?

    Thanks!

    First let me say ... something that I would make sure my training course covered and covered well, and that is "database backups and restores". Including frequency of backups and restores to a point in time.

    For without the data user queries can run fast or slow it matters not.

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

    Ron
