    Thanks for the great check list, but i also want to take some of your other advice that this doesn't substitute reading books and white papers on SQL Performance. Can you please recommend several of the books you've read that you believe would be most beneficial to read for another DBA?

    e-mail is cameron.g.wells@gmail.com

    Thanks,

    Cameron
