  • RE: Replacement for rowmodctr in sys.sysindexes?

    It's the column 'modification_counter' in sys.dm_db_stats_properties.

    You don't need to use a cursor for object ID and stats ids. You can use CROSS APPLY to pass them.

  • RE: application_name is not available in audit logs in SQL Server 2017

    Keep in mind that application name can be pretty easily spoofed. It's set by the connecting application.

  • RE: Reorganise indexes

    How big is the index? iirc, by default Ola's script ignores small indexes that don't need to be rebuild/reorganised.

  • RE: Tempdb

  • RE: SpinLocks

    Spinlocks, for the most part, are not going to be an indication or guide for why a query is slow. They're something that you can and should ignore inmost cases.
