What’s new in SQL Monitor? Tagging and Current Activity Page (minor release v12.1)

We've released a minor version of SQL Monitor, v12.1, that includes two exciting new features: ‘Tagging’ and a ‘Current Activity’ page. In a nutshell: tags allow you to record aspects of a server so that you have information at your fingertips, and the Current Activity page directly queries the monitored server when you open it to get the most up-to-date information possible. It’s all part of our commitment to making SQL Monitor the best monitoring tool out there!

Question of the Day

Restoring On Top I

I am doing development work on a database and want to keep a backup so I can reset my database. I make some changes and want to restore over top of my changes. When I run this code, what happens? 

USE Master
BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO

USE DNRTest
GO
CREATE TABLE MyTest(myid INT)
GO
USE master
RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
