SQL Server - Useful DBA queries you always have to look for on the Internet

Reading Time: 42 minutes

Hey guys!
In this article I would like to share with you a number of useful DBA day-to-day scripts that you always have to look for on the Internet when you need to make a particular query. My idea here is to make your life easier and have a multi-purpose article for many different purposes for you to bookmark in your browser and always have the information you want here 🙂

No more tangling, let's get down to business!

Identifies when the SQL Server service started

Using the sys.dm_os_sys_info DMV we can identify the date the SQL Server service was started. Recommended reading to supplement this information: SQL Server - How to find out how long the instance has been online or when the instance was started

SELECT sqlserver_start_time FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info

Identifies DDL and DCL operations performed on the instance.

Using Default Trace, we can identify DDL (ALTER, CREATE, DROP) and DCL (GRANT, DENY, REVOKE) operations performed on the instance. To better understand this feature, I recommend reading the article. Monitoring DDL and DCL Operations Using SQL Server fn_trace_gettable.

Identify DBCC Command Execution

Using the default trace, we can identify the occurrence of DBCC commands executed in the instance, such as CHECKDB. For a better understanding of this script, I suggest reading the article. Using SQL Server Standard Trace to Audit Events (fn_trace_gettable).

DECLARE @path VARCHAR(MAX) = (SELECT [path] FROM sys.traces WHERE is_default = 1)

SELECT
    TextData,
    Duration,
    StartTime,
    EndTime,
    SPID,
    ApplicationName,
    LoginName
FROM
    sys.fn_trace_gettable(@path, DEFAULT)
WHERE
    EventClass IN ( 116 )
ORDER BY
    StartTime DESC

Tables and Indexes

In this session I will share some scripts related to queries on tables and indexes, such as identifying HEAP tables, fragmented indexes, etc.

Identify uncompressed tables and indexes

Using the query below, we will identify the tables and indexes in RowStore mode that are not using data compression. Keep in mind that until 2016, this feature was unique to the Enterprise version (in addition to Trial and Developer), so if your version is inferred from 2016 and Standard edition, this script will not be useful for you. To better understand what data compression is, I suggest you read the article Compressing all tables in a database in SQL Server.

Identify Index Fragmentation

To identify the level of fragmentation of the indexes and to assess whether a REORGANIZE or REBUILD is required, use the script below. To better understand the structure of indexes and what fragmentation is, read the article. Understanding Index Functioning in SQL Server.

SELECT
    C.[name] AS TableName,
    B.[name] AS IndexName,

A.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 30

AND OBJECT_NAME(B.[object_id]) NOT LIKE '[_]%'

AND A.index_type_desc != 'HEAP'

ORDER BY

A.avg_fragmentation_in_percent DESC

Identify HEAP tables (without clustered index)

Using the query below, you will be able to identify tables that do not have a clustered index created, which can almost always represent a potential query performance issue, as data will not be sorted and the use of only non-clustered indexes can end up generating many Key Lookup events.

To better understand the structure of indexes and what a clustered index is, read the article. Understanding Index Functioning in SQL Server.

SELECT
    B.[name] + '.' + A.[name] AS table_name
FROM
    sys.tables A
    JOIN sys.schemas B ON A.[schema_id] = B.[schema_id]
    JOIN sys.indexes C ON A.[object_id] = C.[object_id]
WHERE
    C.[type] = 0 -- = Heap 
ORDER BY
    table_name

SELECT

B.[name] + '.' + A.[name] AS table_name

FROM

sys.tables A

JOIN sys.schemas B ON A.[schema_id] = B.[schema_id]

JOIN sys.indexes C ON A.[object_id] = C.[object_id]

WHERE

C.[type] = 0 -- = Heap

ORDER BY

table_name

Using Indexes

With the query below, you will be able to identify if the indexes created are being used correctly. It is also useful for identifying indexes that may be good candidates for deletion, as they are just taking up space, and it also helps you identify tables that are widely accessed and not accessed for a long time.

To better understand performance tuning and understand what is Seek operation, Scan, etc. read the article SQL Server - Introduction to Performance Tuning Study.

Identifying Possible Good Clustered Index Candidates

With the query below, I will help you identify possible better clustered index candidates than the current ones. The metric to identify this is through the number of seek reads between nonclustered and clustered indexes. Remember that this is just to give you an idea of the best candidate for the clustered index. You should not only rely on this query, do your analysis!

To better understand the structure of indexes and what a clustered index is, read the article. Understanding Index Functioning in SQL Server. To better understand performance tuning and understand what is Seek operation, Scan, etc. read the article SQL Server - Introduction to Performance Tuning Study.

Missing Index Suggestions

Statistics for more than 7 days without updating

Identify Deadlock Events

Using Extended Events, which is already enabled by default in SQL Server, System_Health, we can identify Deadlock events that have recently occurred in the instance. To better understand the use of this script, I recommend reading the article. SQL Server - How to generate a deadlock history for failure analysis in routines.

DECLARE @TimeZone INT = DATEDIFF(HOUR, GETUTCDATE(), GETDATE())
