Kevin Hill continues a series on solving the age-old “The server is slow!” problem:
At this point you’ve:
- Defined what “slow” means and built a timeline (Part 1).
- Checked things outside SQL Server like network, storage, and VM noise (Part 2).
Now it’s time to open the hood on SQL Server itself.
I think Kevin’s checklist is a pretty solid one for the type of client he often deals with: one without an in-house DBA or the expertise to stay on top of server problems.
