In the spirit of the new closer communication and interaction between the 3 Front Range SQL Server user groups, I'm going to use this space to promote not just the Denver SQL User Group, but our peers in Colorado Springs and Boulder/Broomfield.

Here are the events this month (I don't have info yet on Boulder's meeting):

Dynamic Management Views

Glenn Berry, NewsGator Technologies

Dr. DMV: How to Use Dynamic Management Views to Monitor and Diagnose Performance Issues With High Volume OLTP Workloads.

SQL Server 2005 introduced Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) that allow you to see exactly what is happening inside your SQL Server instances and databases with much more detail than ever before. SQL Server 2008 adds even more capability in this area. You can discover your top wait types, most CPU intensive stored procedures, find missing indexes, and identify unused indexes, to name just a few examples. This session (which is applicable to both 2005 and 2008), presents and explains over twenty DMV queries that you can quickly and easily use to detect and diagnose performance issues in your environment.
