Hi there
Good point actually! 🙂 I was more interested in the underlying architecture of SQL Server purely from a "i wonder" point of view initially. I also like to match up the hearsay that sets bantered around the internet re SQL Server in relation to object storage, show contig, read-ahead ops, shrinking etc, so the mapper was a way to seeing what really happens.
As I also do oracle work, the tool actually makes sence in this space, so it was a good learning experience once again in SQL Server.
Cheers
