We have an application in production which was running great. But, all of a sudden, the response time has become slowly. The development team thinks it is the database problem. What steps would you take to figure out and resolve this performance issue if it is database related.

Thank you.

Check if there is anything else running...Antivirus? Some unnecessary jobs?
Perhaps you can restore the prod copy onto a dev envorinment and if you can reproduce the similar slow behaviour, run profiler and identify which procs taking longer time. If you have a baseline copy to compare to, you can identify the procs taking longer time than they should.

Also check what recently went into the release? and when you started experiencing this problem? What database side changes went in?

Also, check whether this scenario is happening for certain parts of application. If it is, then you can narrow down your search area to that particular functionality.

Go run a SQL profiler trace and see what's going on...it's the database....why is it always the database....
