Hi all

I have been contiuously getting compliants from developers..that the database is very slow..The database is of size 45GB

Around 10 users are currently connected to the this database server..

I don't know what are the steps i should take to check when this issue arises..

as per my knowledge.. i went to EM-Management-Current Activity-Locks/objects there i found some of the table namess including some systemd tables from msdb and tempdb..

how can i resolve and come to the conclusion of cause of slowness of the database..

This is a common issue that i am facing..

any help on this is grealy appreciated...

Thanks in advance..

Add this sp to master

When you run it it will show what is happenning on the server.
Look at things with rapidly increasing disk io. It shows the instruction running and when the batch started.
That should show what you need to look at.

It also shows things that are blocking and the command. If that happens you should deal with it. Stop the user running that query and kill it if necessary (again look at the start time and decide if that user will get more upset than the ones being blocked.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
