Analysis of results:
Summary of the traces can be sent to the development team on a regular basis, so they will be able to tune the bad performing units.

We can summarize the traced data in few modes, such as:

  • Top X commands order by Duration descending
  • Top X commands order by Reads descending
  • Top X commands order by Writes descending
  • Top X commands order by CPU descending
  • Top X commands that are mostly used, for example: select substring(TextData,1,100), count(*) group by substring(TextData,1,100)
  • Conclusion:
    You can record bad performing T-SQL in your servers and send the information to the developers on a regular basis allowing them to be pro-active to performance issues.
