Hey all
I am new here and fairly new to SQL server. And yes i have a question, that maybe dumb.
My boss wants me to reporting to him the health of the DB each week. So here are a few questions.
1. What really defines the "health" of a DB? What elements should I be reporting to him?
2. Is there any utilities out there that would be helpful or can SQL provide enough info?
3. I am using 2005 standard, so I have the shipped reports in summary page. But is this enough? and can I customize them?
Sorry I am having a hard time even asking the questions cause I am not really sure what to ask. Any help or pointing down t he correct path
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
jason
