Hi all,

I'm new to my environment, and recently one of my colleagues spotted that the statistics needed to be updated on one of our databases - so I obliged. I was shocked that they NEEDED to be updated - I had assumed a hardware issue as, everywhere else, I've seen this task automated at least weekly - but that's not the issue for this post, just the background.

Now, my question is, how did he work out where the problem lay? I remember him using a combo of Perfmon and SP-Who2 to identify who was running the query, but for something like this, what counters and columns (respectively) would you look at in each?

Thanks,


JB

You can see Standard reports that comes SQL Server for top CPU,Memory intensive and I/O Consuming queries. Or you can correlate Performance monitor with SQL Profiler to nail down the issue.
