The SQL Server needs attention.
Your Windows machine is elsewhere.
Naturally.
SQL DM 14.3 is bringing real-time instance monitoring to the browser.
🦆 First look: idera.com/sql-diagnostic-man…
#SQLServer
Four databases.
Four sets of files, logs, indexes, and configurations.
One DBA expected to remember which tab belongs to which.
SQL DM 14.3 is bringing expanded database views with a selector that follows you between tabs.
Quacky approves of keeping your place. 🦆

The SQL Server job succeeded.
The application says it failed.
The logs have entered their mysterious phase.
Schrödinger's SQL Agent Job is alive and well.
🦆 Quacky is opening the box. He's brought the job history.

Somebody says, "The database doesn't need indexes. We have plenty of RAM."
A veteran DBA has just experienced seventeen years of flashbacks in approximately two seconds.
Quacky is preparing a presentation on the laws of physics. 🦆

Query Monitor has plenty to tell you.
Finding the useful bit shouldn't require an archaeological expedition.
SQL DM 14.3 is bringing a cleaner, easier-to-scan Query Monitor.
Quacky has put away his tiny excavation brush. 🦆

Tomorrow, @pinaldave puts generative AI to work on real SQL Server tuning examples.
The interesting part? Where AI recommendations can be misleading or harmful.
Because a confident answer still deserves a second look.

The SQL Server problem is familiar.
Finding every piece of evidence shouldn't be a second investigation.
Mark Slavens is taking us inside SQL DM 14.3 on Oct 29.
New Console, reporting, live Web Console monitoring, and more.

A query rewrite looks promising.
Then you check the execution plan.
Then the statistics.
Then the waits.
SQL Server tuning remains a fascinating profession. 😅
@pinaldave explores AI-assisted tuning on Oct 22.

#DBA
AI can rewrite your SQL.
It can also give you a very convincing explanation for a questionable decision.
Pinal Dave is digging into both sides with real SQL Server tuning examples on Oct 22.
Your DBA instincts are invited. 🦆

#SQLServe
A query rewrite from AI.
An execution plan with questions.
A DBA who has seen this sort of thing before.
Pinal Dave digs into AI-assisted SQL tuning with real examples on Oct 22.

#SQLServer #DBA
AI has some exciting ideas about your indexes.
SQL Server has opinions of its own.
Pinal Dave is exploring where generative AI helps with query tuning and where its suggestions can go sideways.

#SQLServer #DBA
AI can rewrite your SQL query.
It can suggest indexes, identify possible bottlenecks, and offer a very confident explanation.
Lovely.
Now comes the interesting part: deciding whether those suggestions deserve a place in your environment. 🧵
A convincing recommendation can still be misleading or even harmful.
Execution plans, statistics, waits, indexing, and query behavior all matter when evaluating AI-assisted tuning.
The fundamentals still get a vote.
And so does the DBA.
On October 22, @pinaldave is putting generative AI to the test with real SQL Server examples in a practical, demo-driven session.
Where AI helps, where it gets things wrong, and how to use it alongside proven tuning techniques.

“I just need to check one thing in the backup.”
A small request. A potentially feature-length restore.
📺 See SQL Safe Backup’s Virtual Database access backed-up data without a traditional full restore.

Less searching across screens. More time investigating.
