DECLARE @DBEngineLogin VARCHAR(100)
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_instance_regread
@rootkey = N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
@key = N'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServer',
@value_name = N'ObjectName',
@value = @DBEngineLogin OUTPUT
-- SELECT [DBEngineLogin] = @DBEngineLogin
DECLARE @physicalServerName varchar(128) = '%' + cast(serverproperty('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS') as varchar(64))+ '%'
DECLARE @ServerName varchar(128) = '%' + cast(SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') as varchar(64)) + '%'
DECLARE @spnCmd varchar(265)
SET @spnCmd = 'setspn -L ' + @DBEngineLogin + ' | findstr "' + cast(serverproperty('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS') as varchar(64)) + '"'
SELECT @spnCmd As CheckSpn
Author: ChatGPT
### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script retrieves the SQL Server service account name from the Windows registry and generates a command to check the registered Service Principal Name (SPN) for that account. The generated command can be run in a command prompt to verify the SPNs associated with the SQL Server instance.
### **Advantages:**
1. **Automates SPN Verification:** Instead of manually looking up the SQL Server service account and checking its SPNs, this script dynamically retrieves the necessary details.
2. **Improves Troubleshooting:** Helps in diagnosing Kerberos authentication issues by ensuring the SPN is correctly registered for SQL Server.
3. **Reduces Manual Errors:** Minimizes mistakes that could occur if SPN details are manually entered.
4. **Quick Execution:** Provides a ready-to-run command (`setspn -L`) that can be executed immediately for validation.
5. **Enhances Security Checks:** Useful in environments where Kerberos authentication is required for SQL Server connectivity.

select
CASE WHEN is_default = 1 THEN 'default trace'
WHEN path IS NULL then 'Live Profiler trace'
ELSE 'Custom Trace' END AS TraceType, * from sys.traces
Author: ChatGPT
### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script retrieves information about active traces running on the SQL Server instance by querying `sys.traces`, a system catalog view that lists details of all currently running traces, including default traces, live Profiler traces, and custom traces.
### **Advantages:**
1. **Identifies Active Traces:** Helps in determining what traces are running, whether they are system-generated (default trace), SQL Profiler sessions, or custom traces.
2. **Aids in Performance Monitoring:** Ensures that unnecessary or excessive traces are not running, which can impact performance.
3. **Improves Troubleshooting:** Useful for investigating server activity, auditing, or debugging performance issues.
4. **Enhances Security Auditing:** Can help detect unauthorized or unexpected traces that may be capturing sensitive data.
5. **Provides Insight into Trace Types:** Clearly categorizes traces to differentiate between built-in default traces, live Profiler sessions, and custom traces set up via `sp_trace_create`.

### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script gathers SQL Server high availability and transaction log health information across databases. It checks for configurations like clustering, mirroring, Always On Availability Groups (AAG), replication, and log shipping while also analyzing Virtual Log Files (VLFs) in transaction logs.
### **Advantages:**
1. **High Availability Insight:** Provides a consolidated view of clustering, mirroring, replication, AAG, and log shipping configurations, aiding in disaster recovery planning.
2. **VLF Health Analysis:** Identifies databases with excessive VLFs, which can impact transaction log performance and recovery times.
3. **Optimized Log Management:** Suggests log file adjustments by calculating optimal growth settings and generates commands for efficient transaction log management.
4. **Read-Only & Replica Detection:** Recognizes secondary replicas and read-only databases, preventing unnecessary modifications.
5. **Performance & Troubleshooting:** Helps diagnose potential transaction log fragmentation, replication bottlenecks, or backup-related issues.
6. **Automated Database Iteration:** Eliminates the need for manual checks by iterating through all databases dynamically.
This script is useful for DBAs monitoring SQL Server health, optimizing transaction log configurations, and ensuring high availability components are properly configured.

### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script collects detailed system and SQL Server instance metadata, including server configuration, available resources, operating system details, storage, CPU, memory, databases, SQL logins, and SQL configuration settings.
### **Advantages:**
1. **Comprehensive System Inventory:** Gathers critical system and SQL Server details, including OS version, CPU, memory, storage, and virtualization status.
2. **SQL Server Configuration Insights:** Extracts SQL version, edition, TCP/IP port, buffer pool settings, and key configuration options.
3. **Database Health Monitoring:** Checks the number of databases, their states (offline, read-only, unused), and total database size.
4. **Security Assessment:** Identifies SQL logins, disabled accounts, and logins violating password reset policies.
5. **Storage and Resource Usage Analysis:** Reports available disk space and SQL Server memory usage against physical memory.
6. **Performance Optimization Checks:** Extracts settings for parallelism, backup compression, and other SQL Server tuning options.
7. **Automated and Repeatable Execution:** Eliminates manual data collection, providing a standardized way to assess SQL Server health.
This script is particularly useful for DBAs conducting system health checks, troubleshooting performance issues, or documenting SQL Server environments.

### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script performs a comprehensive audit of SQL Server databases and system configurations, focusing on key enterprise features such as high availability, security, performance, and compliance.
### **Advantages:**
1. **Enterprise Feature Usage Assessment:**
- Detects databases using **partitioning**, **replication (publisher/subscriber)**, **log shipping**, **Always On Availability Groups**, and **Failover Cluster Instances (FCI)**.
- Identifies databases enabled with **Change Data Capture (CDC)** and **Change Tracking** for data auditing.
2. **Security & Compliance Insights:**
- Evaluates the use of **Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)**, **Always Encrypted**, and **Dynamic Data Masking**.
- Audits **SQL Server policies** and **SQL audits** for compliance monitoring.
- Checks for **untrusted foreign key and check constraints**, which can impact data integrity.
3. **Database Performance & Reliability Checks:**
- Identifies **Service Broker** usage for messaging applications.
- Finds **memory-optimized tables** that improve performance.
- Detects **server and database triggers**, which might affect transaction behavior.
4. **Access & Authentication Monitoring:**
- Reports **failed logins**, which can indicate security threats.
- Assesses the presence of **server and database triggers** that might enforce security policies.
5. **Object-Level Analysis:**
- Scans for **user-defined data types**, **sequences**, and **synonyms** to track custom database structures.
- Lists **SQL Server agent jobs** and policy-based management configurations.
6. **Automated Server-Wide Auditing:**
- Uses `sp_MSforeachdb` to iterate over all databases, ensuring a broad and automated assessment.
- Consolidates data into temporary tables for easy review and reporting.
This script is particularly useful for **DBAs conducting security audits, performance assessments, and compliance checks** across SQL Server environments.

### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script gathers SQL Server instance metadata, including patch level, cluster configuration, Always On Availability Group (AG) nodes, and application-specific contact information stored in extended properties.
### **Advantages:**
1. **Patch Compliance & Version Check:**
- Compares the server???s current SQL Server version with the latest known patch levels.
- Identifies if a **patch update is available** for the installed SQL Server version.

### **Purpose of the Script:**
This script **identifies missing indexes** in SQL Server **based on workload statistics**, helping DBAs **optimize query performance** by suggesting **non-clustered index recommendations**.
---
### **What This Script Does:**
1. **Scans for Missing Indexes:**
- Uses **`sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups`**, **`sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats`**, and **`sys.dm_db_missing_index_details`** to identify **missing indexes** that SQL Server suggests based on query execution history.
- Filters indexes based on **cost impact**, **seeks/scans frequency**, and **query workload statistics**.
2. **Checks Existing Indexes:**
- Uses **`sys.indexes`** to **verify if a similar index already exists**, avoiding duplicate recommendations.
- **Counts the number of indexes per table** to avoid excessive indexing.
3. **Considers Server-Specific Settings:**
- Dynamically determines if **Enterprise Edition** is running, enabling **online index creation** where applicable.
- Uses **the most suitable filegroup** for index placement.
4. **Generates SQL Index Creation Commands:**
- Creates **non-clustered indexes** using recommended columns.
- Uses **included columns** if SQL Server suggests them.
- Builds **index names** dynamically in the format:
```
IX_LI_<TableName>_<EqualityColumns>_<InequalityColumns>_Includes
```
- Ensures **indexes aren't duplicated** by checking against existing index names.
- Includes **compression (`DATA_COMPRESSION = PAGE`)** and **SORT_IN_TEMPDB** optimizations.
5. **Filters Out Unnecessary Index Recommendations:**
- **Ignores database snapshots** to avoid unnecessary indexing on read-only snapshots.
- **Excludes tables with zero rows** to focus on actively queried tables.
- Only recommends indexes **where total cost exceeds 50**.
---
### **Why This is Useful:**
- **Improves Query Performance**
- Helps **reduce high-cost query scans** by suggesting **efficient indexes**.
- Targets **frequently executed queries** to improve **response times**.
- **Prevents Index Overload**
- Avoids **duplicate indexes** or unnecessary indexes on small tables.
- Ensures **optimal indexing without excessive maintenance overhead**.
- **Automated Index Optimization**
- **Dynamically adapts** based on the database structure and **SQL Server version**.
- **Uses Enterprise Edition features (like Online Indexing) when available**.
---
### **Ideal Use Cases:**
- **Performance tuning** in **highly transactional databases**.
- **Detecting and fixing slow queries** due to missing indexes.
- **Optimizing indexing strategies** without manually reviewing execution plans.
This script **automates the index tuning process**, making it a **valuable tool for SQL Server DBAs** looking to **reduce query execution times and improve overall database performance**. ????

Author: ChatGPT
### **Purpose of the Query:**
This query retrieves **Page Life Expectancy (PLE) per NUMA node**, a crucial **SQL Server memory performance metric**. It converts the PLE value (in seconds) into a **human-readable `dd:hh:mm:ss` format**.
---
### **Breakdown of the Query:**
1. **Extracts PLE from `sys.dm_os_performance_counters`**
- Filters **only "Page life expectancy"** counter.
- Retrieves **PLE per NUMA node** (if multiple NUMA nodes exist).
2. **Converts PLE (seconds) into `dd:hh:mm:ss` format**
- Uses `DATEADD(SECOND, PLE, '1900-01-01')` to calculate elapsed time.
- Extracts **days, hours, minutes, and seconds** for better readability.
3. **Final Output Columns:**
- `NUMA Node`: Identifies the **NUMA node** where PLE is measured.
- `Page Life Expectancy (Seconds)`: The **raw PLE value**.
- `Estimated_PLE dd:hh:mm::ss`: **Formatted PLE in days, hours, minutes, and seconds**.
---
### **Why This Matters:**
- **Page Life Expectancy (PLE)** shows how long pages stay in memory before being flushed.
- **Lower PLE (<300 sec per NUMA node)** indicates **memory pressure** and potential performance degradation.
- **Higher PLE (>1000 sec per NUMA node)** is **ideal for OLTP workloads**.
---
### **How to Use This Data:**
- **If PLE is consistently low**, consider:
- Increasing **SQL Server max memory allocation**.
- Investigating **high query recompilation rates**.
- Checking **index fragmentation and tuning queries**.
- Analyzing **buffer cache hit ratio**.
This query **helps SQL DBAs assess memory efficiency and diagnose performance bottlenecks** effectively. ????

### **Purpose of the Query:**
This query helps identify **SQL Server queries with the largest variance between their maximum execution time and their average execution time**, which can indicate **performance inconsistencies**, parameter sniffing issues, or sporadic inefficiencies in execution.
---
### **Breakdown of the Query:**
#### **1. Retrieves SQL Server Restart Time**
- Uses `tempdb`'s `create_date` as an indicator of **when the SQL Server last restarted**.
- This helps correlate query execution times with the server uptime.
#### **2. Captures Query Execution Details from Dynamic Management Views (DMVs)**
- **`sys.dm_exec_query_stats`** ??? Tracks CPU, execution count, and runtime for cached queries.
- **`sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle)`** ??? Extracts the SQL query text.
- **`sys.dm_exec_query_plan(plan_handle)`** ??? Retrieves the query execution plan.
#### **3. Calculates Key Metrics:**
- `AverageSeconds`: **Average execution time per query**.
- `TotalExecutions`: **Total number of times the query ran**.
- `LastElapsedSeconds`: **Time taken by the most recent execution**.
- `MaxElapsedSeconds`: **Longest recorded execution time**.
- `% CPU`: **CPU usage percentage for the query**.
- `% Waiting`: **Percentage of total time spent waiting**.
- `cpu time average (s)`: **Average CPU time per execution**.
- `individual query`: **Extracted query text (truncated for readability)**.
- `QualifiedObjectName`: **Schema + Object Name of the executing procedure/function**.
#### **4. Filters Out System Queries (`fn.objectid IS NULL`)**
- Ensures that **only user-defined queries** are considered.
#### **5. Orders by Queries with the Largest Variance Between `MaxElapsedSeconds` and `AverageSeconds`**
- `(MaxElapsedSeconds - AverageSeconds) DESC`
- Helps find **queries that sometimes take significantly longer than their average execution time**, potentially due to:
- **Parameter sniffing** issues
- **Blocking**
- **Resource contention (CPU, memory, or disk)**
- **Plan cache inefficiencies**
---
### **How to Use This Data:**
- **Large Variance (High `MaxElapsedSeconds` - `AverageSeconds`)**
??? Investigate why execution time fluctuates. Check for:
- **Missing indexes**
- **Plan cache reuse issues (parameter sniffing)**
- **Blocking and deadlocks**
- **Disk IO bottlenecks**
- **High `% Waiting`**
??? Indicates excessive **query waiting time** due to resource contention.
- **Frequent Execution with High CPU (`% CPU`)**
??? Suggests **CPU-intensive queries** needing **optimization**.
---
### **Next Steps:**
1. Identify queries with **the largest difference between max and average execution time**.
2. Review execution plans (`query_plan` column) for **optimization opportunities**.
3. Investigate **parameter sniffing issues** by checking if different executions have drastically different plans.
4. Optimize indexing, memory allocation, and query structure to **reduce execution variance**.

Author: ChatGPT
### **Purpose of the Query:**
This query helps identify **stored procedures with multiple execution plans** cached in SQL Server. A **high number of plans per procedure** can indicate **parameter sniffing issues** or **inefficient query plan caching**.
---
### **Breakdown of the Query:**
#### **1. Retrieves Execution Statistics for Stored Procedures**
- **`sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats`** ??? Provides execution statistics for cached procedures.
- **`sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle)`** ??? Extracts the associated SQL text.
#### **2. Calculates Key Metrics:**
- `QualifiedObjectName` ??? **Fully qualified procedure name** (`schema.procedure_name`).
- `recomple` ??? **Generates a `sp_recompile` command** to force recompilation of procedures that have multiple plans.
- `TotalPlansPerProcedure` ??? **Counts the number of cached execution plans per procedure**.
#### **3. Filters Out System Queries (`fn.objectid IS NOT NULL`)**
- Ensures only **user-defined procedures** are included.
#### **4. Orders Results by the Number of Cached Plans**
- The procedure with the **most cached plans appears first**.
---
### **Why This Matters:**
???? **Multiple Plans for a Procedure ??? Possible Parameter Sniffing Issue**
- When SQL Server caches different plans for the same stored procedure, **query performance can be inconsistent**.
- The optimizer chooses a plan based on the first set of parameter values encountered (parameter sniffing).
- If these parameters differ greatly across executions, suboptimal plans may be used.
???? **Query Compilation Overhead**
- Frequent re-compilations increase CPU load and degrade performance.
---
### **How to Use This Data:**
1. **Identify procedures with excessive plan caching (`TotalPlansPerProcedure > 1`).**
2. **Run the suggested `sp_recompile` command** to force a recompile and clear suboptimal cached plans.
3. **Investigate parameter sniffing:**
- Use **`OPTION (RECOMPILE)`** inside the procedure for dynamic query plans.
- Consider using **local variables** to prevent sniffing.
- Use **`OPTIMIZE FOR UNKNOWN`** to generate more generic plans.
---
### **Example: Resolving Parameter Sniffing**
Instead of:
```sql
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate >= @StartDate
```
Use:
```sql
DECLARE @FixedStartDate DATETIME = @StartDate
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate >= @FixedStartDate
```
OR:
```sql
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate >= @StartDate OPTION (RECOMPILE)
```
---
### **Next Steps:**
1. **Run the query to identify procedures with multiple plans.**
2. **Execute the `sp_recompile` commands if necessary.**
3. **Review execution plans (`sys.dm_exec_query_plan`) for inconsistencies.**
4. **Optimize stored procedures to ensure consistent performance.**

### **Purpose of the Query:**
This query helps **identify stored procedures** in SQL Server that have high execution times and provides a way to **recompile them** if needed. It is useful for diagnosing **parameter sniffing issues**, **poor query plan caching**, and **identifying expensive stored procedures**.
---
### **Breakdown of the Query:**
#### **1. Retrieves Execution Statistics for Stored Procedures**
- **`sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats`** ??? Contains performance statistics for cached stored procedures.
- **`sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle)`** ??? Retrieves the associated SQL text.
- **`sys.dm_exec_query_plan(plan_handle)`** ??? Retrieves the execution plan.
#### **2. Calculates Key Metrics:**
- `ServerRestartedDate` ??? The last time SQL Server was restarted (from `tempdb` creation time).
- `LastCached` ??? The timestamp when the plan was last cached.
- `LastExecutionTime` ??? The last time the procedure was executed.
- `AverageSeconds` ??? The **average execution time** of the procedure.
- `TotalExecutions` ??? Total times the procedure has executed.
- `LastElapsedSeconds` ??? The last execution time of the procedure.
- `MaxElapsedSeconds` ??? The **maximum execution time** recorded.
- `dbname` ??? Database where the procedure resides.
- `recomple` ??? Generates a `sp_recompile` command to force recompilation of the stored procedure.
- `QualifiedObjectName` ??? Fully qualified name (`schema.procedure_name`).
- `query_plan` ??? The **execution plan** for performance analysis.
#### **3. Filters and Ordering:**
- The results are filtered by **database name** (`Db_name(fn.dbid) = DB_NAME()`).
- If an **@objectname** is provided, it filters to that specific procedure.
- **Orders results by `AverageSeconds DESC`**, listing the most time-consuming procedures first.
---
### **Why This Matters:**
???? **Identifies Slow-Running Procedures:**
- Procedures with high `AverageSeconds` or `MaxElapsedSeconds` may have **query plan inefficiencies**.
???? **Pinpoints Parameter Sniffing Issues:**
- If a procedure has **varying execution times**, it might suffer from parameter sniffing.
???? **Helps Optimize Query Plans:**
- The `sp_recompile` suggestion allows **forcing SQL Server to recompile** the stored procedure to generate an optimal execution plan.
---
### **How to Use This Data:**
1. **Identify stored procedures with high execution times** (`AverageSeconds` and `MaxElapsedSeconds`).
2. **Check execution frequency** (`TotalExecutions`) to understand impact.
3. **Review the execution plan (`query_plan`)** to identify inefficiencies.
4. **Run the suggested `sp_recompile`** command if you suspect parameter sniffing.
5. **Consider query tuning, indexing, or using `OPTION (RECOMPILE)` for dynamic parameterized queries.**
---
### **Example: Resolving Performance Issues**
If a stored procedure **executes slowly**, but has varying execution times, use:
```sql
EXEC sp_recompile 'dbo.MySlowProcedure';
```
Or modify the procedure:
```sql
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MySlowProcedure (@SomeParam INT)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Force recompilation for dynamic query plans
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate >= @SomeParam OPTION (RECOMPILE);
END
```
---
### **Next Steps:**
1. **Run the query to identify slow procedures.**
2. **Investigate query plans (`sys.dm_exec_query_plan`).**
3. **Recompile problematic procedures and monitor execution times.**
4. **Use `DBCC FREEPROCCACHE` cautiously if needed to clear cached plans.**

### **Purpose of the Query**
This SQL Server script collects and analyzes **database file usage and last activity information**. It helps identify:
- **Unused or stale databases** with no recent activity.
- **Database file sizes**, **log space usage**, and **potential storage savings**.
- **Databases that may require shrinking or archival** based on last read/write timestamps.
---
### **Key Components & Analysis**
#### **1. Collects Information on All Databases**
- The script **creates temporary tables** to store details on **databases, file information, and log usage**.
- Populates `#tblServerDatabases` with all databases from `sys.databases`.
- Excludes **system databases** (`master`, `tempdb`, `model`, `msdb`).
#### **2. Retrieves File Information for Each Database**
- **Data file details** from `DBCC SHOWFILESTATS`
- **Log file details** using `sp_helpfile`
- Uses `DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE)` to get log file space usage.
#### **3. Calculates Space Usage**
- **Total size, used space, free space** for both **data and log files**.
- Derives **percentage of space used**.
- Helps **identify large log files that may need shrinking**.
#### **4. Retrieves Database Activity (Last Reads & Writes)**
- Joins with `sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats` to determine the **last time indexes were used**.
- `last_user_seek` ??? Last **index seek**
- `last_user_scan` ??? Last **index scan**
- `last_user_lookup` ??? Last **index lookup**
- `last_user_update` ??? Last **data modification**
- Aggregates this data to get the **most recent read and write activity**.
#### **5. Calculates Potential Storage Savings**
- If a database **has not been read or written to**, its **entire size** is flagged as **potential savings**.
- Helps **identify inactive or archived databases** that may be **eligible for compression or deletion**.
---
### **Key Output Columns**
| Column | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `ServerRestartedDate` | SQL Server restart date (based on `tempdb` creation time) |
| `DBName` | Database name |
| `recovery_model_desc` | Recovery model (Full, Simple, Bulk-Logged) |
| `user_access_desc` | Access level (MULTI_USER, SINGLE_USER, etc.) |
| `state_desc` | Database state (ONLINE, OFFLINE, RESTORING) |
| `last_read` | Last time a read operation (seek/scan/lookup) was performed |
| `last_write` | Last time a write operation (update/insert) was performed |
| `TotalFileSize(MB)` | Total file size for the database (data + log) |
| `PotentialSavings(MB)` | If **no read/write activity**, the entire database size is flagged for **potential savings** |
---
### **How to Use This Data**
#### ???? **Identify Databases That Can Be Shrunk or Archived**
- If `last_read` and `last_write` **are NULL**, the database **has no recorded activity**.
- Consider **shrinking**, **moving**, or **decommissioning** these databases.
#### ???? **Find Large Unused Log Files**
- If `TotalFileSize(MB)` **is large but activity is low**, consider **truncating or shrinking logs**.
#### ???? **Check Databases Running in Wrong Recovery Model**
- If `recovery_model_desc = FULL` but there are **no recent writes**, consider **switching to SIMPLE mode**.
---
### **Example: Finding Stale Databases**
```sql
SELECT DBName, TotalFileSize(MB), last_read, last_write, PotentialSavings(MB)
FROM #tblDBFilesExtendedInfo
WHERE PotentialSavings(MB) > 0
ORDER BY PotentialSavings(MB) DESC;
```
This identifies **databases that haven't been accessed** and are **taking up space**.
---
### **Next Steps**
1. **Review inactive databases.**
2. **Decide whether to shrink, archive, or delete unused databases.**
3. **Optimize log file sizes** based on usage patterns.
4. **Consider migrating rarely used databases** to cheaper storage.
???? **This is a great way to clean up and optimize SQL Server storage!** ????

### **SQL Server Wait Statistics Analysis**
This script is a **diagnostic query** to analyze **SQL Server Wait Statistics**, helping to identify **performance bottlenecks** in the system.
---
### **???? Purpose**
- **Identify the top waits** affecting SQL Server performance since the last restart or since statistics were cleared.
- **Filter out non-problematic waits** (idle waits, background processes, and common benign waits).
- **Calculate average wait times** to prioritize tuning efforts.
- **Provide SQL Server restart time** (`tempdb.create_date`) to correlate performance issues.
---
## **???? Breakdown of the Query**
### **1?????? Collecting & Filtering SQL Server Wait Statistics**
```sql
WITH &#91;Waits] AS
(SELECT
&#91;wait_type],
&#91;wait_time_ms] / 1000.0 AS &#91;WaitS],

&#91;signal_wait_time_ms] / 1000.0 AS &#91;SignalS],
&#91;waiting_tasks_count] AS &#91;WaitCount],
100.0 * &#91;wait_time_ms] / SUM (&#91;wait_time_ms]) OVER() AS &#91;Percentage],
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY &#91;wait_time_ms] DESC) AS &#91;RowNum]

)
AND &#91;waiting_tasks_count] > 0)
```
- Uses **`sys.dm_os_wait_stats`** to get wait statistics.
- Converts **wait time** to **seconds**.
- Filters out **idle waits** and **common background waits** that do not impact performance.
- Calculates **percentage contribution** of each wait type.

```sql
SELECT
MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;wait_type]) AS &#91;WaitType],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS &#91;Wait_S],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;ResourceS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS &#91;Resource_S],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;SignalS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS &#91;Signal_S],
MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitCount]) AS &#91;WaitCount],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;Percentage]) AS DECIMAL (5,2)) AS &#91;Percentage],
CAST ((MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitS]) / MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS &#91;AvgWait_S],
CAST ((MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;ResourceS]) / MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS &#91;AvgRes_S],
CAST ((MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;SignalS]) / MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS &#91;AvgSig_S],
CAST ('https://www.sqlskills.com/help/waits/' + MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;wait_type]) as XML) AS &#91;Help/Info URL]
FROM &#91;Waits] AS &#91;W1]
INNER JOIN &#91;Waits] AS &#91;W2] ON &#91;W2].&#91;RowNum] <= &#91;W1].&#91;RowNum]
GROUP BY &#91;W1].&#91;RowNum]
HAVING SUM (&#91;W2].&#91;Percentage]) - MAX( &#91;W1].&#91;Percentage] ) < 95;
```
- Calculates **total wait time**, **resource wait**, and **signal wait**.
- Ranks waits based on their **contribution to overall waiting time**.
- Excludes waits that contribute **less than 5%**.
- Generates **average wait times** per occurrence.
- Provides a **direct help link** for each wait type from **SQLSkills**.

### **3?????? Server Restart Time**
```sql
DECLARE @ServerRestartedDate varchar(30);
SELECT @ServerRestartedDate = CONVERT(varchar(30),dbz.create_date,120)
FROM sys.databases dbz WHERE name='tempdb';
```
- **Retrieves SQL Server restart time** using `tempdb.create_date`.
---
### **4?????? Alternative Wait Stats Analysis (Glenn Berry's Diagnostic Query)**
```sql
WITH Waits AS (
SELECT wait_type,
wait_time_ms / 1000. AS wait_time_s,
100. * wait_time_ms / SUM(wait_time_ms) OVER() AS pct,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY wait_time_ms DESC) AS rn
FROM sys.dm_os_wait_stats
WHERE wait_type NOT IN ('CLR_SEMAPHORE', 'LAZYWRITER_SLEEP', 'RESOURCE_QUEUE', 'SLEEP_TASK',
'SLEEP_SYSTEMTASK', 'SQLTRACE_BUFFER_FLUSH', 'WAITFOR', 'LOGMGR_QUEUE')
)
SELECT @ServerRestartedDate AS ServerRestartedDate,
W1.wait_type,
CAST(W1.wait_time_s AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS wait_time_s,
CAST(W1.pct AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS pct,
CAST(SUM(W2.pct) AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS running_pct
FROM Waits AS W1
INNER JOIN Waits AS W2 ON W2.rn <= W1.rn
GROUP BY W1.rn, W1.wait_type, W1.wait_time_s, W1.pct
HAVING SUM(W2.pct) - W1.pct < 99
OPTION (RECOMPILE);
```
- Another **variation of wait stats analysis**, focusing on the **top 99% of waits**.
- Useful if you need to **compare different methods of identifying top waits**.

## **???? How to Use This Data**
| **Column** | **Meaning** | **Action Item** |
|------------|------------|----------------|
| **WaitType** | The type of wait encountered | Investigate high-wait types |
| **Wait_S** | Total wait time in seconds | High values = system slowness |
| **Resource_S** | Time spent waiting for resources (e.g., I/O, locks) | Optimize indexes, reduce contention |
| **Signal_S** | Time spent in scheduler queue | Indicates CPU pressure |
| **WaitCount** | Number of times the wait occurred | Higher count = frequent issue |
| **AvgWait_S** | Average wait time per event | Higher = performance bottleneck |
| **Percentage** | Percentage of total wait time | Identify **top waits** |
| **Help/Info URL** | Link to SQLSkills documentation | Use to research wait type |
---
## **???? Next Steps**
1. **Identify High Impact Waits**
- Look at waits with **high "Wait_S" and "Percentage" values**.
- Investigate **locks, I/O contention, and CPU pressure**.
2. **Research Problematic Wait Types**
- Use the **"Help/Info URL"** to research problematic waits.
- Example: If `PAGEIOLATCH_SH` is high ??? **I/O bottleneck**.
3. **Take Action Based on Findings**
- **High CPU waits (`SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD`)** ??? Add CPUs, tune queries.
- **I/O waits (`PAGEIOLATCH_SH`)** ??? Tune indexes, move tempdb to SSD.
- **Locking issues (`LCK_M_IX`, `LCK_M_S`)** ??? Optimize queries, reduce transactions.
- **Memory pressure (`RESOURCE_SEMAPHORE`)** ??? Increase memory, tune workloads.

### **???? SQL Server Trigger Performance Analysis**
This script **analyzes trigger execution statistics** to identify triggers that may be causing **performance issues**.
---
### **???? Purpose**
- **Identify long-running triggers** that may be slowing down transactions.
- **Check trigger execution frequency** to find frequently executed triggers.
- **Analyze cached execution plans** for triggers.
- **Find triggers with high CPU and elapsed time usage**.
---
## **???? Breakdown of the Query**
### **1?????? Retrieve SQL Server Restart Time**
```sql
DECLARE @ServerRestartedDate varchar(30);
SELECT @ServerRestartedDate = CONVERT(varchar(30),dbz.create_date,120)
FROM sys.databases dbz WHERE name='tempdb';
```
- Retrieves **SQL Server restart time** using `tempdb.create_date`.
- Helps correlate long-running triggers with server uptime.
---
### **2?????? Extract Trigger Execution Statistics**
```sql
;WITH MyCTE AS (
SELECT
@ServerRestartedDate AS ServerRestartedDate,
st.last_execution_time AS LastExecutionTime,
st.cached_time AS LastCachedTime,
CONVERT(DECIMAL(9,3),(st.total_worker_time/ 1000000.0) / NULLIF(st.execution_count,0)) AS AverageSeconds,
st.execution_count AS TotalExecutions,
(st.last_elapsed_time / 1000000 ) AS LastElapsedSeconds,

CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(st.&#91;sql_handle]) fn
WHERE DB_NAME(fn.dbid) = DB_NAME() OR DB_NAME() = 'master'
)
```
- Uses **`sys.dm_exec_trigger_stats`** to retrieve **execution statistics** for all triggers.
- Retrieves **database name, schema, object name, last execution time, and execution count**.
- Calculates:
- **Average execution time** (`AverageSeconds`)
- **Total executions** (`TotalExecutions`)
- **Last execution time** (`LastExecutionTime`)
- **Last cached time** (`LastCachedTime`)
---
### **3?????? Filter & Sort Results**
```sql
SELECT * FROM MyCTE
WHERE NULLIF(@objectname,'') IS NULL OR @objectname = objectname
ORDER BY AverageSeconds DESC;
```
- Filters results to **a specific trigger** if `@objectname` is provided.
- **Sorts by `AverageSeconds`**, prioritizing the **slowest triggers** first.
---
## **???? How to Use This Data**
| **Column** | **Meaning** | **Action Item** |
|------------|------------|----------------|
| **ServerRestartedDate** | SQL Server restart time | Helps correlate trigger performance with system uptime |
| **LastExecutionTime** | Last time the trigger ran | Identify infrequently used triggers |
| **LastCachedTime** | Last time the execution plan was cached | Detect recompiled triggers |
| **AverageSeconds** | Average execution time per execution | Optimize triggers that run slow |
| **TotalExecutions** | Total number of executions | Identify frequently executed triggers |
| **LastElapsedSeconds** | Duration of the most recent execution | Spot long-running triggers |
| **MaxElapsedSeconds** | Longest recorded execution time | Find worst-case trigger performance |
| **QualifiedObjectName** | Fully qualified trigger name | Locate the exact trigger to optimize |
| **SQL Query Text** | SQL definition of the trigger | Review for optimization |
---
## **???? Next Steps**
### **1?????? Identify & Optimize Slow Triggers**
- Look for **triggers with high `AverageSeconds` or `MaxElapsedSeconds`**.
- If a trigger is slow **AND runs frequently**, it's a high-impact issue.
### **2?????? Reduce Unnecessary Executions**
- Check **`TotalExecutions`**???if a trigger executes **thousands of times per hour**, it may be overused.
- Consider **moving logic to stored procedures** instead of using triggers.
### **3?????? Optimize Trigger Code**
- **Avoid RBAR (Row-By-Agonizing-Row) operations**.
- Use **`INSERTED` and `DELETED` tables** efficiently.
- Avoid using **cursors** inside triggers.
- **Minimize I/O operations** (don't perform expensive queries inside triggers).
### **4?????? Consider Disabling or Removing Unused Triggers**
- If a trigger has **zero executions**, it may be **obsolete**.
- Consider **disabling** it to test impact.
### **5?????? Check Execution Plan Caching**
- If **`LastCachedTime` frequently changes**, the trigger may be **recompiling** too often.
- Use **`WITH RECOMPILE` sparingly** and ensure **indexes support queries inside the trigger**.

### **???? SQL Server Database Storage & Usage Analysis**
This SQL script is a **comprehensive database storage analysis tool** designed to:
- **Analyze database sizes, usage, and file details**.
- **Identify unused or underutilized databases**.
- **Provide insights into disk usage & potential savings**.
- **Replace `sp_MSforeachdb`** with a **cursor-free approach** for looping through databases.
---
## **???? Query Breakdown**
### **1?????? Create & Populate Temporary Tables**
#### **???? `#tblServerDatabases` (Holds all databases)**
```sql
CREATE TABLE #tblServerDatabases (DBName NVARCHAR(128), state_desc NVARCHAR(128));
INSERT INTO #tblServerDatabases (DBName, state_desc)
SELECT dbz.&#91;name], state_desc FROM master.sys.databases dbz;
```
- Stores a **list of all databases** and their **state** (online, offline, etc.).
#### **???? `#tblDBFilesExtendedInfo` (Tracks File Sizes & Usage)**
```sql
CREATE TABLE #tblDBFilesExtendedInfo (
Idx INT IDENTITY(1, 1),
FileID INT,
FileGroupID INT,
TotalExtents BIGINT,
UsedExtents BIGINT,
DBFileName NVARCHAR(128),
LogicalFileName NVARCHAR(128),
DBFilePath NVARCHAR(1024),
DBFileType VARCHAR(16),
DBName NVARCHAR(128),
&#91;TotalFileSize(MB)] MONEY,
&#91;TotalUsed(MB)] MONEY,
&#91;TotalFree(MB)] MONEY,
&#91;SpaceUsed(%)] MONEY,
Status INT
);
```
- Stores **file details** for **data and log files** (name, path, usage, space used, etc.).
#### **???? `#tblDBFilesBasicInfo` (Captures File Paths)**
```sql
CREATE TABLE #tblDBFilesBasicInfo (
DBName NVARCHAR(128),
DBFileName NVARCHAR(128),
FileID INT,
FilePath NVARCHAR(1024),
FileGroupDesc NVARCHAR(128),
FileSizeKB NVARCHAR(64),
MaxSizeDesc NVARCHAR(64),
Growth NVARCHAR(64),
Usage NVARCHAR(64)
);
```
- Stores **basic file information** from `sp_helpfile` results.
---
### **2?????? Loop Through Each Database**
```sql
SELECT @CurrentDB = MIN(DBName) FROM #tblServerDatabases WHERE state_desc = 'ONLINE';
WHILE @CurrentDB IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
EXEC ('USE &#91;' + @CurrentDB + '] DBCC SHOWFILESTATS'); -- Get file statistics
EXEC ('USE &#91;' + @CurrentDB + '] EXEC sp_helpfile'); -- Get file details
```
- Uses **a `WHILE` loop** to **iterate through all databases**.
- **Executes**:
- `DBCC SHOWFILESTATS` ??? Fetches file size and usage details.
- `sp_helpfile` ??? Retrieves file paths.
---
### **3?????? Process & Update File Statistics**
```sql
UPDATE #tblDBFilesExtendedInfo
SET &#91;DBFileName] = RIGHT(DBFilePath, CHARINDEX('\', REVERSE(DBFilePath)) -1),
&#91;TotalFileSize(MB)] = CAST(((TotalExtents*64) / 1024.00) AS MONEY),
&#91;TotalUsed(MB)] = CAST(((UsedExtents*64) / 1024.00) AS MONEY),
&#91;TotalFree(MB)] = CAST(((TotalExtents*64) / 1024.00) AS MONEY) - CAST(((UsedExtents*64) / 1024.00) AS MONEY),
&#91;SpaceUsed(%)] = CASE
WHEN CAST(((TotalExtents*64) / 1024.00) AS MONEY) = 0.0 THEN 0.0
ELSE (CAST(((UsedExtents*64) / 1024.00) AS MONEY)*100) / CAST(((TotalExtents*64) / 1024.00) AS MONEY)
END;
```
- **Processes and formats storage usage details** for data and log files.
---
### **4?????? Capture SQL Server Restart Time**
```sql
WITH ServerRestart AS (
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), dbz.create_date, 120) AS ServerRestartedDate
FROM sys.databases dbz WHERE name = 'tempdb'
)
```
- Uses **`tempdb.create_date`** as a **proxy for SQL Server restart time**.
---
### **5?????? Determine Database Activity**
#### **Identify Last Read & Write Activity**
```sql
SELECT
AllDatabases.TheDatabase,
MAX(statz.last_user_seek) AS last_read,
MAX(statz.last_user_scan) AS last_read,
MAX(statz.last_user_lookup) AS last_read,
MAX(statz.last_user_update) AS last_write
FROM AllDatabases
LEFT JOIN sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats statz
ON AllDatabases.database_id = statz.database_id;
```
- Uses **`sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats`** to determine:
- **Last read (seek, scan, lookup)**
- **Last write (update)**
---
### **6?????? Identify Unused Databases**
```sql
SELECT NearlyDone.ServerRestartedDate,
FileSizes.DBName,
NearlyDone.recovery_model_desc,
NearlyDone.user_access_desc,
NearlyDone.state_desc,
NearlyDone.last_read,
NearlyDone.last_write,
FileSizes.&#91;TotalFileSize(MB)],
CASE
WHEN NearlyDone.last_read IS NULL AND NearlyDone.last_write IS NULL
THEN FileSizes.&#91;TotalFileSize(MB)]
ELSE 0
END AS &#91;PotentialSavings(MB)]
FROM (
SELECT DBName, SUM(&#91;TotalFileSize(MB)]) AS &#91;TotalFileSize(MB)]
FROM #tblDBFilesExtendedInfo
GROUP BY DBName
) FileSizes
LEFT JOIN NearlyDone
ON NearlyDone.TheDatabase = FileSizes.DBName
WHERE dbname NOT IN ('master','model','tempdb','msdb')
ORDER BY DBName;
```
- Flags **databases with NO recent reads or writes**.
- Suggests **potential space savings** if the database is **no longer in use**.
---
## **???? How to Use This Data**
| **Column** | **Meaning** | **Action Item** |
|------------|------------|----------------|
| **ServerRestartedDate** | SQL Server restart time | Helps correlate storage with uptime |
| **DBName** | Database name | Identify target databases |
| **Recovery Model** | Full, Simple, Bulk-Logged | Check if log backups are needed |
| **State** | Online, Offline, etc. | Identify inactive databases |
| **Last Read/Write** | Timestamp of last activity | Find unused databases |
| **Total File Size (MB)** | Total allocated space | Understand overall storage impact |
| **Potential Savings (MB)** | Space that could be freed | Identify databases to shrink or drop |
---
## **???? Next Steps**
### **1?????? Identify & Cleanup Unused Databases**
- Look for **databases with `NULL` in last_read & last_write**.
- **Consider archiving or deleting** databases with **no recent activity**.
### **2?????? Optimize Storage Usage**
- **Check for over-provisioned databases** with large files but low usage.
- Use **`DBCC SHRINKDATABASE`** cautiously to reclaim space.
### **3?????? Investigate High Log File Usage**
- Large `TotalFileSize(MB)` for **log files** may indicate **a lack of log backups**.
- Ensure **regular transaction log backups** are running for databases in **FULL recovery mode**.
### **4?????? Monitor SQL Server Restart Impact**
- **If tempdb restarted recently**, cached objects were lost.
- Helps correlate performance issues with **recent restarts**.

END
from sys.objects tabz
INNER JOIN sys.schemas sch ON tabz.schema_id = sch.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns colz ON tabz.object_id = colz.object_id
where type_name(colz.system_type_id) IN('image','text','ntext')
Author: ChatGPT
This SQL query identifies **deprecated data types** (`image`, `text`, `ntext`) within a database and **generates the `ALTER TABLE` statements** needed to convert them to modern data types (`varbinary(max)`, `varchar(max)`, `nvarchar(max)`).
---
## **???? Breakdown of the Query**
| **Column** | **Purpose** |
|------------|------------|
| `db_name()` | Retrieves the **current database name**. |
| `sch.name` | Captures the **schema name** for clarity. |
| `tabz.name` | Extracts the **table (object) name**. |
| `tabz.type_desc` | Describes whether it's a **user table or view**. |
| `colz.name` | Retrieves the **column name**. |
| `type_name(colz.system_type_id)` | Displays the **current column data type**. |
| `cmd` | Generates the **ALTER TABLE command** for migration. |
---
## **???? Example Output**
| **DatabaseName** | **SchemaName** | **ObjectName** | **ColumnName** | **Data Type** | **Generated Command** |
|-----------------|--------------|-------------|-------------|------------|--------------------------------|
| `MyDatabase` | `dbo` | `Customer` | `ProfileImage` | `image` | `ALTER TABLE &#91;dbo].&#91;Customer] ALTER COLUMN &#91;ProfileImage] varbinary(max);` |
| `MyDatabase` | `dbo` | `Orders` | `Notes` | `text` | `ALTER TABLE &#91;dbo].&#91;Orders] ALTER COLUMN &#91;Notes] varchar(max);` |
| `MyDatabase` | `dbo` | `Comments` | `Feedback` | `ntext` | `ALTER TABLE &#91;dbo].&#91;Comments] ALTER COLUMN &#91;Feedback] nvarchar(max);` |
---
## **???? How to Use**
### **1?????? Review the Results**
- The **`cmd` column** contains the `ALTER TABLE` commands.
- **Verify the schema & object names** before executing.
### **2?????? Migrate to `varchar(max)`, `nvarchar(max)`, or `varbinary(max)`**
- `image` ??? `varbinary(max)`
- `text` ??? `varchar(max)`
- `ntext` ??? `nvarchar(max)`
### **3?????? Execute ALTER Statements**
- Copy & execute the suggested `ALTER TABLE` commands.
### **4?????? (Optional) Drop Old Constraints**
- If there are **dependencies (constraints, indexes, foreign keys)** on these columns, remove them **before** altering the column.
```sql
ALTER TABLE dbo.Customer DROP CONSTRAINT &#91;Constraint_Name];
```
### **5?????? Test Your Queries**
- Run queries to **validate** that the new data types function correctly.
---
## **???? Why This Matters**
??? **Modernizes deprecated SQL Server data types**
??? **Prepares for SQL Server upgrades (image, text, ntext are removed in future versions)**
??? **Improves performance & compatibility with modern apps**
??? **Ensures your database follows best practices**
---
### **???? Pro Tip: Automate the Execution**
If you're confident with the output, you can execute all `ALTER TABLE` statements dynamically:
```sql
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX) = ''
SELECT @sql +=
'ALTER TABLE ' + QUOTENAME(sch.name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(tabz.name) +
' ALTER COLUMN ' + QUOTENAME(colz.name) +
CASE
WHEN TYPE_NAME(colz.system_type_id) = 'image' THEN ' varbinary(max);'
WHEN TYPE_NAME(colz.system_type_id) = 'text' THEN ' varchar(max);'
WHEN TYPE_NAME(colz.system_type_id) = 'ntext' THEN ' nvarchar(max);'
END + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
FROM sys.objects tabz
INNER JOIN sys.schemas sch ON tabz.schema_id = sch.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns colz ON tabz.object_id = colz.object_id
WHERE TYPE_NAME(colz.system_type_id) IN ('image', 'text', 'ntext');
PRINT @sql; -- Review the SQL before executing
EXEC sp_executesql @sql; -- Run all ALTER statements dynamically

This SQL query retrieves **CPU, memory, and SQL Server buffer usage details**, providing insights into **server performance and memory consumption**. It captures **physical and virtual CPU details, total memory, SQL Server memory allocation, and buffer usage per database**.
---
## **???? Breakdown of the Query**
### **???? Step 1: Capture CPU & Memory Details**
- Uses **`sys.dm_os_sys_info`** to fetch:
- `cpu_count` ??? Total logical CPUs.
- `hyperthread_ratio` ??? Number of threads per core.
- `NumberofCores` ??? Derived as `cpu_count / hyperthread_ratio`.
- `PhysicalMemoryMB` ??? Total RAM in MB.
- `VirtualMachineType` ??? Detects whether SQL Server is running on a **virtual machine**.
- **SQL Server Max Memory** (`max server memory (MB)`) is extracted from `sys.configurations`.
### **???? Step 2: Capture Buffer Pool Usage**
- Uses **`sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors`** to analyze how much memory each database is consuming.
- **`ROLLUP`** is used to calculate a **total memory consumption row**.
### **???? Step 3: Compute Free & Used Memory**
- `TotalFree` ??? Available free memory (`PhysicalMemoryMB - Used`).
- `TotalServerPercentUsed` ??? Percentage of total system memory used by SQL Server.
- `AssignedSQLPercentUsed` ??? Percentage of memory used from the allocated SQL Server memory.
---
## **???? Example Output**
| ServerName | DatabaseName | MemoryUsedMB | TotalFree | ServerMemUsed% | SQLMemUsed% |
|------------|-------------|--------------|------------|--------------|--------------|
| `SQLServer1` | `AdventureWorks` | 1500 MB | NULL | 30.5% | 55.8% |
| `SQLServer1` | `ReportDB` | 1200 MB | NULL | 24.5% | 47.1% |
| `SQLServer1` | `Total` | 5000 MB | 3000 MB | 50.0% | 80.3% |
---
## **???? Why This Query Is Useful**
??? **Identifies CPU & memory resources allocated to SQL Server**
??? **Detects memory pressure by analyzing buffer pool usage per database**
??? **Determines if SQL Server is running on a virtual machine**
??? **Compares actual memory usage vs. assigned SQL Server memory**
---
## **???? Next Steps**
1?????? **Adjust `max server memory (MB)` if SQL Server is over-consuming RAM:**
```sql
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'max server memory (MB)', 32000; -- Adjust as needed
RECONFIGURE;
```
2?????? **Investigate high-memory usage databases:**
```sql
SELECT db_name(database_id), COUNT(*) / 128 AS MemoryUsedMB
FROM sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors
GROUP BY database_id
ORDER BY MemoryUsedMB DESC;
```
3?????? **Monitor CPU Load on SQL Server:**
```sql
SELECT scheduler_id, cpu_id, is_online, active_worker_count
FROM sys.dm_os_schedulers
WHERE scheduler_id < 255;
```

Author: ChatGPT
### **???? Breakdown of This Query**
This query provides **insights into SQL Server buffer pool activity**, analyzing how pages are stored and whether they are **clean** or **dirty**.
---
## **???? What This Query Does**
- Retrieves data from **`sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors`**, which tracks **cached pages** in SQL Server memory.
- Groups results by:
- **Database Name (`db_name(database_id)`)**
- **Page Status** (`is_modified` column ??? Identifies if a page is 'Clean' or 'Dirty')
- Computes **averages** for:
- **Read time per page (`read_microsec`)** ??? How long SQL Server takes to read pages.
- **Row count (`row_count`)** ??? Average number of rows per page.
- **Free space (`free_space_in_bytes`)** ??? Amount of unused space per page.
- Counts the **total number of pages** in memory.
---
## **???? Example Output**
| DatabaseName | database_id | Page_Status | avg_read_microsec | avg_row_count | avg_free_space_bytes | Pages |
|--------------|------------|------------|------------------|---------------|----------------------|--------|
| `AdventureWorks` | 5 | `Clean` | 500 | 128 | 4096 | 50,000 |
| `AdventureWorks` | 5 | `Dirty` | 700 | 125 | 3000 | 5,000 |
| `ReportDB` | 10 | `Clean` | 300 | 150 | 2048 | 60,000 |
| `ReportDB` | 10 | `Dirty` | 600 | 140 | 3072 | 6,000 |
| `system_resource` | 32767 | `Clean` | 400 | 132 | 3500 | 12,000 |
---
## **???? Key Insights**
??? **"Dirty" pages** (Modified pages that haven???t been written to disk yet) indicate **write activity**.
??? **High `read_microsec` values** could suggest **I/O bottlenecks**.
??? **Lots of "Dirty" pages** might mean **lazy writer activity** is occurring often.
??? **Monitoring free space** helps understand if tables are **fragmented** or have **wasted memory**.
---
## **???? Next Steps**
1?????? **Check if Dirty Pages are High**
```sql
SELECT COUNT(*) AS DirtyPages FROM sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors WHERE is_modified = 1;
```
**???? If high**, consider running a **CHECKPOINT** to flush dirty pages to disk:
```sql
CHECKPOINT;
```
2?????? **Investigate High Read Latency**
```sql
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats(NULL, NULL) ORDER BY io_stall_read_ms DESC;
```
**???? If `io_stall_read_ms` is high**, investigate **disk I/O performance**.
3?????? **Find Fragmented Tables with High Free Space**
```sql
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id), index_id, avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL, 'LIMITED')
ORDER BY avg_fragmentation_in_percent DESC;
```
**???? If fragmentation is high**, consider rebuilding/reorganizing indexes:
```sql
ALTER INDEX &#91;IndexName] ON &#91;TableName] REBUILD;
```

This script performs **a deep dive into high availability, transaction log fragmentation, and database log file management in SQL Server**.
---
## **???? What This Script Does**
### **1?????? High Availability Configuration Check**
- Stores details on:
- **Clustering** (`sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes`)
- **Database Mirroring** (`sys.database_mirroring`)
- **Always On Availability Groups (AAGs)** (`sys.dm_hadr_database_replica_states`)
- **Replication status** (`sys.databases`)
- **Log Shipping** (`msdb..log_shipping_primary_databases`)
- Excludes **SharePoint system databases** from consideration.
### **2?????? Transaction Log Fragmentation Analysis**
- Uses `DBCC LOGINFO()` or `sys.dm_db_log_info()` (for SQL Server 2016+).
- Retrieves:
- **Virtual Log File (VLF) Count** (Too many VLFs = Slow recovery & performance issues)
- **Current Log File Size** (KB)
- **Growth Settings** (Fixed KB or %)
- Generates **T-SQL recommendations**:
- **Shrink the log file** (`DBCC SHRINKFILE`)
- **Reset log growth policy** (`ALTER DATABASE MODIFY FILE`)
### **3?????? Identifying Log File Growth and Optimizing VLF Count**
- Retrieves **log file size, growth settings, and active/inactive VLF counts**.
- Helps identify **excessive VLF fragmentation**, which can **slow down transaction log performance**.
- Prioritizes:
- Databases with **more than 24 VLFs** (ideal is <50).
- Logs with **suboptimal growth settings** (should be **64MB increments**).
- Read-only **databases & secondary replicas** (which should not have VLF optimizations applied).
---
## **???? Example Output**
### **High Availability Summary**
| ServerName | MachineName | DatabaseName | ClusterStatus | MirroredStatus | AAGGroupName | AAGStatus | LogShippingStatus |
|-------------|------------|--------------|---------------|---------------|--------------|------------|-------------------|
| SQLPROD1 | SQLNODE1 | SalesDB | Clustered | Mirroring configured | AG_Sales | is_primary_replica=1 | Log Shipping |
| SQLPROD1 | SQLNODE1 | OrdersDB | Not Clustered | | | | |
| SQLPROD1 | SQLNODE1 | HRDB | Clustered | Mirroring configured | AG_HR | is_primary_replica=0 | |
---
### **VLF Fragmentation Analysis**
| DatabaseName | VLF Count | VLF Size (MB) | Active VLFs | Active VLF Size (MB) | Inactive VLFs | Inactive VLF Size (MB) |
|-------------|----------|--------------|------------|--------------------|---------------|--------------------|
| SalesDB | 250 | 5000 | 10 | 200 | 240 | 4800 |
| OrdersDB | 30 | 1200 | 5 | 200 | 25 | 1000 |
| HRDB | 12 | 800 | 3 | 150 | 9 | 650 |
---
### **???? Key Findings & Actions**
??? **Excessive VLF Count (e.g., `SalesDB` has 250 VLFs)**
???? **Recommendation**: Shrink & resize log file:
```sql
USE &#91;SalesDB];
DBCC SHRINKFILE (N'SalesDB_log', TRUNCATEONLY);
ALTER DATABASE &#91;SalesDB] MODIFY FILE (NAME = N'SalesDB_log', SIZE = 512MB, FILEGROWTH = 64MB);
```
??? **Poor Log Growth Settings (e.g., `% Growth` instead of fixed MBs)**
???? **Recommendation**: Switch to **64MB fixed growth**:
```sql
ALTER DATABASE &#91;OrdersDB] MODIFY FILE (NAME = N'OrdersDB_log', FILEGROWTH = 64MB);
```
??? **Read-Only / Secondary Replicas Identified**
???? **Recommendation**: Skip log file optimizations for **read-only or secondary databases**.
---
## **???? Next Steps**
1?????? **Run this script regularly** to detect **high VLF counts & misconfigured log growth settings**.
2?????? **For high VLF databases (>50 VLFs)**, use **`DBCC SHRINKFILE` followed by `ALTER DATABASE MODIFY FILE`**.
3?????? **For Always On / Mirrored Databases**, ensure **AAG status is monitored** and logs are properly configured.
4?????? **Adjust log growth settings** to **64MB increments** for better log file management.
---
### **???? Why This Matters**
??? **Reduces long recovery times** during failovers or SQL Server restarts.
??? **Optimizes log file performance**, preventing unnecessary fragmentation.
??? **Ensures high availability settings are correctly configured** for disaster recovery.
**???? Run this script on your SQL Server today to improve performance & availability!** ????

This **SQL Server disk space and transaction log management script** performs multiple **critical checks and optimizations**.
---
## **???? What This Script Does**
### **1?????? Database Log Space & Reuse Wait Analysis**
- Queries `sys.databases` to check **log reuse wait descriptions**:
- Identifies whether a database **cannot truncate logs** due to active transactions, replication, mirroring, etc.
```sql
SELECT dbz.log_reuse_wait_desc, dbz.*
FROM sys.databases dbz
WHERE (DB_NAME() = 'master' OR dbz.name = DB_NAME());
```
---
### **2?????? Drive Space Usage Report**
- Uses `sys.dm_os_volume_stats` to retrieve:
- **Total disk size**
- **Used & free space**
- **Percentage used/free**
- Helps detect **low-disk-space issues** affecting SQL Server performance.
```sql
SELECT DISTINCT(volume_mount_point),
total_bytes/1048576 AS Size_in_MB,
(total_bytes/1048576) - (available_bytes/1048576) AS Used_in_MB,
available_bytes/1048576 AS Free_in_MB,
(total_bytes/1048576) / 1024 AS Size_in_GB,
(((total_bytes - available_bytes)/1048576) /1024) AS Used_in_GB,
(available_bytes/1048576) / 1024 AS Free_in_GB,
CONVERT(Decimal(5,2),(((((total_bytes - available_bytes)/1048576) /1024))/((total_bytes/1048576) / 1024 * 1.0)) * 100) AS PercentUsed,
CONVERT(Decimal(5,2),(((available_bytes/1048576) / 1024)/((total_bytes/1048576) / 1024 * 1.0)) * 100) AS PercentFree
FROM sys.master_files AS f
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_os_volume_stats(f.database_id, f.FILE_ID)
ORDER BY 1;
```
---
### **3?????? Database File Size & Usage Report**
- Uses `sys.database_files` and `sys.master_files` to retrieve:
- **Total allocated file size (MB)**
- **Used space**
- **Free space**
- **Percentage used**
- Helps identify **databases consuming excessive disk space**.
```sql
SELECT
DBName,
SUM(&#91;TotalFileSize(MB)]) AS &#91;TotalFileSize(MB)],
SUM(&#91;TotalUsed(MB)]) AS &#91;TotalUsed(MB)],
(SUM(&#91;TotalUsed(MB)]) / SUM(&#91;TotalFileSize(MB)]) * 100) AS &#91;SpaceUsed(%)],
SUM(&#91;TotalFree(MB)]) AS &#91;TotalFree(MB)]
FROM #tblDBFilesExtendedInfo
GROUP BY DBName, &#91;recovery_model_desc];
```
---
### **4?????? Identifying Log File Growth Issues**
- Uses `DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE)` to:
- Find **databases with excessive log file usage**.
- Suggest **log shrink operations** for underutilized logs.
```sql
DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE);
```
- Generates **recommended shrink commands** for logs that are **too large**:
- Shrinks log files **by 10GB**, unless the total file size is under 10GB.
```sql
SELECT
DBName,
LogicalFileName,
DBFileName,
CASE
WHEN &#91;TotalFileSize(MB)] - 10000 < 0 THEN

### **5?????? Optimizing TEMPDB Growth & Cleanup**
- **For TEMPDB**, suggests running the following if the database **does not shrink**:
```sql
CHECKPOINT;
CHECKPOINT;
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE;
DBCC FREESYSTEMCACHE ('ALL');
DBCC FLUSHPROCINDB (2);
DBCC FREESESSIONCACHE;
DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS;
```
- Ensures that **TEMPDB does not grow excessively** and **frees unused cache**.
---
## **???? Key Benefits**

This **SQL Server Wait Statistics Analysis Script** helps identify **performance bottlenecks** by analyzing **wait types**, which indicate why SQL Server threads are waiting.
---
## **???? What This Script Does**
### **1?????? Analyzes Wait Statistics**
- Uses **sys.dm_os_wait_stats** to detect **top wait types** affecting SQL Server performance.
- Filters out **non-problematic** waits (e.g., idle waits, background tasks).
- Computes:
- **Total Wait Time (Seconds)**
- **Resource Wait Time (Seconds)**
- **Signal Wait Time (Seconds)**
- **Total Wait Count**
- **Percentage of Total Waits**
- **Average Wait Time per occurrence**
- **Average Resource Wait per occurrence**
- **Average Signal Wait per occurrence**
- **Direct URL for more information** on wait types.
```sql
WITH &#91;Waits] AS
(SELECT
&#91;wait_type],
&#91;wait_time_ms] / 1000.0 AS &#91;WaitS],
(&#91;wait_time_ms] - &#91;signal_wait_time_ms]) / 1000.0 AS &#91;ResourceS],
&#91;signal_wait_time_ms] / 1000.0 AS &#91;SignalS],
&#91;waiting_tasks_count] AS &#91;WaitCount],
100.0 * &#91;wait_time_ms] / SUM (&#91;wait_time_ms]) OVER() AS &#91;Percentage],
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY &#91;wait_time_ms] DESC) AS &#91;RowNum]
FROM sys.dm_os_wait_stats
WHERE &#91;wait_type] NOT IN ( /* List of ignored wait types */ )
AND &#91;waiting_tasks_count] > 0
)
SELECT
MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;wait_type]) AS &#91;WaitType],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS &#91;Wait_S],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;ResourceS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS &#91;Resource_S],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;SignalS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS &#91;Signal_S],
MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitCount]) AS &#91;WaitCount],
CAST (MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;Percentage]) AS DECIMAL (5,2)) AS &#91;Percentage],
CAST ((MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitS]) / MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS &#91;AvgWait_S],
CAST ((MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;ResourceS]) / MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS &#91;AvgRes_S],

CAST ('https://www.sqlskills.com/help/waits/' + MAX (&#91;W1].&#91;wait_type]) as XML) AS &#91;Help/Info URL]
FROM &#91;Waits] AS &#91;W1]
INNER JOIN &#91;Waits] AS &#91;W2] ON &#91;W2].&#91;RowNum] <= &#91;W1].&#91;RowNum]
GROUP BY &#91;W1].&#91;RowNum]
HAVING SUM (&#91;W2].&#91;Percentage]) - MAX( &#91;W1].&#91;Percentage] ) < 95; -- percentage threshold
```
---
### **2?????? Provides a Quick Summary**
- Displays **why SQL Server threads are waiting**.
- Focuses on **top wait types contributing to performance issues**.
- Helps diagnose **CPU pressure, I/O bottlenecks, or query blocking**.
```sql
SELECT 'Purpose: isolate top waits for server instance since last restart or statistics clear.' AS notes;
```
---
### **3?????? Includes Glenn Berry???s Performance Diagnostic Query**
- Retrieves top waits since the **last SQL Server restart**.
- Filters out **non-impactful wait types**.
- Computes:
- **Total wait time per type**
- **Percentage of overall waits**
- **Cumulative percentage of waits**
```sql
WITH Waits AS
(SELECT wait_type,
wait_time_ms / 1000. AS wait_time_s,
100. * wait_time_ms / Sum(wait_time_ms) OVER() AS pct,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY wait_time_ms DESC) AS rn
FROM sys.dm_os_wait_stats
WHERE wait_type NOT IN ( /* Ignored wait types */ ))
SELECT
@ServerRestartedDate As ServerRestartedDate,
W1.wait_type,
Cast(W1.wait_time_s AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS wait_time_s,
Cast(W1.pct AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS pct,
Cast(Sum(W2.pct) AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS running_pct
FROM Waits AS W1
INNER JOIN Waits AS W2 ON W2.rn <= W1.rn
GROUP BY W1.rn, W1.wait_type, W1.wait_time_s, W1.pct
HAVING Sum(W2.pct) - W1.pct < 99
OPTION (RECOMPILE);
```

??? **Identifies SQL Server performance bottlenecks**
??? **Detects excessive waits affecting query execution**
??? **Pinpoints potential CPU, I/O, or memory issues**
??? **Provides direct links for wait type explanations**
Use this script **regularly** to **analyze and improve SQL Server performance** ????.

This **SQL Server Missing Index Analysis and Index Creation Script** is designed to **identify and recommend missing indexes** that could **improve query performance** based on **query execution statistics**.
---
## **???? What This Script Does**
### **1?????? Collects Missing Index Information**
- Uses **`sys.dm_db_missing_index_details`**, **`sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats`**, and **`sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups`** to:
- Identify **missing indexes** with high potential impact.
- Calculate the **total cost impact** based on `avg_total_user_cost`, `avg_user_impact`, and `user_seeks + user_scans`.
### **2?????? Gathers Additional Table Information**
- Stores:
- **Table row count** (`sys.partitions` joined with `sys.indexes`).
- **Existing non-clustered index count** (`sys.indexes`).
- **Filegroups for index placement** (`sys.filegroups`).
- **SQL Server version** to determine whether **ONLINE index creation** and **SORT_IN_TEMPDB** options are supported.
---
### **3?????? Constructs a Smart Index Creation Script**
- **Dynamically generates** `CREATE INDEX` statements for missing indexes.
- **Includes:**
- **`INCLUDE` columns** (to cover queries fully).
- **Online indexing (`ONLINE = ON`)** if supported by **Enterprise Edition**.
- **Sort in tempdb (`SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON`)** for SQL Server 2012 and later.
- **Index fill factor** (retrieved from `sys.configurations`).
- **Index placement** on the **optimal filegroup**.
---
### **4?????? Filters Out Unnecessary Index Recommendations**
??? **Excludes already existing indexes**
??? **Ignores system tables (`is_ms_shipped = 0`)**
??? **Excludes database snapshots**
??? **Considers only high-impact missing indexes** (`avg_total_user_cost > 50`)
??? **Skips tables with zero rows**
---
## **???? Query Breakdown**
### **1?????? Prepares Temporary Tables**
```sql
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..&#91;#TableCounts]') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE &#91;dbo].&#91;#TableCounts]
CREATE TABLE &#91;dbo].&#91;#TableCounts] (
&#91;DatabaseName] VARCHAR(128) NULL,
&#91;QualifiedObjectName] NVARCHAR(517) NULL,
&#91;TheCount] BIGINT NULL)
```
- Holds **table names and row counts**.
```sql
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..&#91;#TempIndexes]') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE &#91;dbo].&#91;#TempIndexes]
CREATE TABLE &#91;dbo].&#91;#TempIndexes] (
&#91;DbObjectName] VARCHAR(390) NULL,
&#91;IndexCount] INT NULL)
```
- Stores the **number of existing indexes per table**.
---
### **2?????? Retrieves Missing Indexes & Table Statistics**
```sql
execute sp_MSforeachdb '
INSERT INTO #TempIndexes(&#91;DbObjectName],&#91;IndexCount])
SELECT ''&#91;?]'' + ''.'' + QUOTENAME(sch.name) + ''.'' + QUOTENAME(obj.name) AS DbObjectName,
COUNT(*) AS IndexCount
FROM &#91;?].sys.objects obj
INNER JOIN &#91;?].sys.schemas sch ON obj.schema_id = sch.schema_id
INNER JOIN &#91;?].sys.indexes ix ON obj.object_id = ix.object_id
WHERE ix.index_id > 1
AND obj.schema_id <> 4
GROUP BY ''&#91;?]'' + ''.'' + QUOTENAME(sch.name) + ''.'' + QUOTENAME(obj.name);'
```
- Uses `sp_MSforeachdb` to **loop through all databases** and collect **existing index counts**.
---
### **3?????? Gathers SQL Server Configuration Data**
```sql
SELECT @ServerVersionNumber = CONVERT(DECIMAL(5,2),
PARSENAME(CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), ISNULL(SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'),'')), 4)
+ '.'
+ Parsename(CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), ISNULL(Serverproperty('productversion'),'')), 3))
SELECT @OnlinePossible = CASE
WHEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(128),SERVERPROPERTY('edition')) LIKE '%Enterprise%'
THEN 'ON' ELSE 'OFF'
END
```
- Determines the **SQL Server version** and whether **ONLINE index creation** is supported (Enterprise Edition only).
---
### **4?????? Generates Index Creation Commands**
```sql
SELECT TOP (100)
ServerInfo.SQLServerRestartedDate,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(128),@@serverName) AS ServerName,
TableName = d.statement,
&#91;WeightedTotalCost] = ROUND(s.avg_total_user_cost * s.avg_user_impact * (s.user_seeks + s.user_scans),0),
s.avg_user_impact,
s.user_seeks,
s.user_scans,
ISNULL(tix.IndexCount,0) AS TableIndexCount,
ISNULL(tct.&#91;TheCount],0) AS TableTotalRows,
'USE ' + LEFT(d.statement,CHARINDEX('.',d.statement) -1) + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'GO'
+ 'IF EXISTS(SELECT OBJECT_ID(''' + d.statement + ''') )' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

+ CASE WHEN d.included_columns IS NOT NULL THEN ' INCLUDE(' + d.included_columns + ')' ELSE '' END
+ @IndexOptions
+ ' ON ' + QUOTENAME(@FileGroup) + ';'
+ CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'GO'
FROM sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups g
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats s ON s.group_handle = g.index_group_handle
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_details d ON d.index_handle = g.index_handle
LEFT JOIN #TempIndexes tix ON d.statement = tix.DbObjectName
LEFT JOIN #TableCounts tct ON d.statement = tct.DatabaseName + '.' + tct.&#91;QualifiedObjectName]
WHERE 1=1
AND (LEFT(d.statement,CHARINDEX('.',d.statement) -1) = QUOTENAME(DB_NAME()) OR DB_NAME()='master')
AND ISNULL(tct.&#91;TheCount],0) > 0
AND s.avg_total_user_cost > 50
ORDER BY &#91;WeightedTotalCost] DESC;
```
- **Constructs `CREATE INDEX` statements** dynamically.
- **Ensures indexes do not already exist**.
- **Formats SQL properly** for readability and execution.
---
## **???? How This Helps**
??? **Improves query performance** by detecting **missing indexes**
??? **Prioritizes high-impact indexes** based on **query cost impact**
??? **Excludes unnecessary recommendations** (zero-row tables, existing indexes)
??? **Automates index creation** with **best practices** (`ONLINE = ON`, `SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON`, `DATA_COMPRESSION = PAGE`)
??? **Supports multiple databases dynamically**
---
## **???? Next Steps**
1?????? **Run this script on your SQL Server instance**
2?????? **Review the recommended indexes**
3?????? **Test index creation on a non-production environment**
4?????? **Monitor performance improvements** using `sys.dm_exec_query_stats`
???? **Use this script regularly** to keep your **indexes optimized!**

I am trying to use LM Studio and the model deepseek-r1-distill-llama-8b to do the same logic we are doing here: get a description and analysis of what a script does, and it's advantages. for any of the longer SLQ Scripts I test in LM Studio, i get an error {"error":"Current model (arch: deepseek2) does not support context overflow. Stopping
generation at the loaded context length. Try reloading with a larger context length or using a shorter prompt."}, but when run via ChatGPT, I have no issues. my Execution server has 64GB of Ram on it, which i think i smore than enough for the operations. In LM Studio, If I increase the Context Length over 8192, i get an error "Failed to allocate compute buffers"
Author: ChatGPT
You're running into **context length and memory allocation issues** with **LM Studio** and **deepseek-r1-distill-llama-8b** while trying to analyze long SQL scripts.
### **???? Understanding the Issue**
1. **Context Length Limitation (8192 Tokens)**
- The **deepseek-r1-distill-llama-8b** model has a maximum **context length** limitation.
- **8192 tokens (~6000 words) is the limit** in LM Studio. When you exceed this, it **stops** generating output.
- If your SQL scripts are **very long**, they might be exceeding this limit, causing truncation.
2. **Memory Allocation Failure**
- When increasing **Context Length beyond 8192**, the error `"Failed to allocate compute buffers"` suggests that **your GPU (or RAM if using CPU mode) is running out of available memory**.
- The **8B model is large**, and increasing the context window demands **more VRAM (GPU) or RAM**.
### **???? Potential Fixes**
#### **Option 1: Reduce Input Token Count**
??? **Break large SQL scripts into smaller chunks.**
- Try **analyzing smaller sections** of the script **individually**.
- If your script is **20,000+ characters**, try running it in **two or more parts**.
??? **Use Summarization First**
- Instead of pasting the entire SQL script, **extract the key sections** and run only the essential parts.
- Example:
```sql
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM sys.dm_db_missing_index_details;
```
- Run queries in chunks **instead of pasting an entire stored procedure**.
---
#### **Option 2: Adjust Model Settings in LM Studio**
??? **Lower the context length** to **8192 or less**
- Go to **"Settings" ??? "Model Settings"**
- Set **Context Length to 8192** (or **4096** to be safer).
??? **Use `Enable KV Cache` (if available)**
- This **reduces memory usage** while keeping performance optimal.
??? **Try CPU Mode Instead of GPU (if applicable)**
- If running on a **GPU with limited VRAM (e.g., 8GB or less)**, **switch to CPU mode** in LM Studio.
- It will be slower but might handle larger inputs.
---
#### **Option 3: Switch to a More Memory-Efficient Model**
??? **Try a smaller model, like `deepseek-coder-6.7B`**
- The **6.7B version** is lighter than the **8B version**, consuming **less VRAM**.
- Smaller models like **Mistral-7B** or **Phi-2** might also work better for long scripts.
??? **Use a 4-bit or 8-bit quantized model**
- If using **LLama.cpp**, try a **4-bit quantized** model (`deepseek-8b.Q4_K_M.gguf`) instead of a **full 8B model**.
---
### **???? Summary**
| Issue | Solution |
|--------|-------------|
| **Context length exceeded** | Reduce input size (split scripts) or keep context ??? 8192 |
| **Memory allocation error** | Lower context size, use a smaller model, or switch to CPU mode |
| **Slow execution** | Try a quantized model (4-bit, 8-bit) or reduce script size |
If you still face issues, let me know your **GPU model** and **LM Studio settings**, and I can fine-tune the advice further! ????
Author: user
is contextlength the length of the string to analyze?
Author: ChatGPT
Yes, **context length** refers to the **total number of tokens** (words, characters, punctuation, and spaces) that a model can process at once.
### **???? Context Length Breakdown**
- It includes both:
- **The input (your SQL script + prompt)**
- **The output (model's generated response)**
- Example:
- If a model has **8192 tokens max**:
- If your SQL script takes **7000 tokens**, the response can only be **1192 tokens** before truncation happens.
- If your script is **8500 tokens**, the model **won't accept it entirely** and will cut off part of the input.
### **???? How to Check Context Length for SQL Scripts?**
- A **token ??? a word**. On average:
- **1 token ??? ?? words in English** (or 4 characters).
- SQL scripts are more compact (because of symbols, keywords).
- **1 token ??? 3???4 characters in SQL**.
**To estimate your script???s token count:**
```sql
SELECT LEN(@YourSQLScript) / 4 AS EstimatedTokens;
```
???? **If it exceeds 8192 tokens, shorten it or split it into parts.**
---
### **???? Fix: How to Work Around Context Limits?**
??? **Check token count before pasting**
Use an online tokenizer like &#91;OpenAI Tokenizer](https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer) to check your SQL script size.
??? **Split long SQL scripts**
Instead of pasting a **50,000-character script**, break it into **smaller logical sections**.
??? **Use a model with a higher context window**
Some models (like **Claude 2/3** or **GPT-4 Turbo**) support **100K+ tokens**.
Let me know your **SQL script length** if you need help optimizing it for LM Studio! ????
Author: user
some of my scripts far exceed 16K. when using the local LM endpoint at http://localhost:1234/v1/chat/completions, would it help if I added the script as an attachment?
Author: ChatGPT
No, adding the script as an **attachment** won't help because local LLMs like **DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B** process text **entirely within memory** and do not support external files in API requests.
### **???? Why Context Length Matters?**
- **LM Studio runs models locally**, meaning:
- The model loads the entire input (SQL script + prompt) into **VRAM or RAM**.
- If the **total tokens** exceed the model???s **context length**, it **truncates or errors out**.
- Even if you have **64GB RAM**, the **model's architecture** still limits context size (e.g., **8192 tokens max** for DeepSeek-R1-Distill).
---
### **??? Solutions to Process Large SQL Scripts Locally**
Here are a few ways to work around the issue:
#### **1?????? Use a Model with a Larger Context Window**
- Your current model **(DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B)** has **a limited context window**.
- **Better local models for large scripts**:
- **Mistral-7B-Instruct (32K tokens)**
- **GPT-4 Turbo (via OpenAI API, 128K tokens)**
- **Claude-3 (via Anthropic API, 200K tokens)**
???? **Alternative:** Try **"Mistral-7B-Instruct"** in LM Studio, which has a larger context.
---
#### **2?????? Split the SQL Script into Chunks**
If your script is **>16K tokens**, **manually split it** into:
- **Smaller functional parts** (e.g., "Table creation," "Indexes," "Performance tuning").
- **Send each chunk separately** to LM Studio.
Example:
```python
import requests
# Load large SQL script
with open("large_script.sql", "r") as f:
sql_script = f.read()
# Split into smaller chunks
chunks = &#91;sql_script&#91;i:i+6000] for i in range(0, len(sql_script), 6000)] # 6000 tokens per request
# Process each chunk separately
for chunk in chunks:
payload = {
"model": "deepseek-r1-distill-llama-8b",
"messages": &#91;{"role": "user", "content": chunk}]
}
response = requests.post("http://localhost:1234/v1/chat/completions", json=payload)
print(response.json()&#91;"choices"]&#91;0]&#91;"message"]&#91;"content"])
```
???? This **avoids truncation** and allows you to analyze long SQL scripts **in parts**.
---
#### **3?????? Enable Sliding Window Processing**
- Some local models **(like Llama-3-based models)** **support sliding context**.
- Check if **LM Studio** has an **option to "extend" context** (sometimes by overlapping parts of input).
---
### **???? Final Answer:**
??? **Uploading as an attachment won???t help**
??? **Your model (DeepSeek) cannot exceed 8192 tokens**
??? **Use a different model (like Mistral-7B)**
??? **Split your script into smaller parts and analyze separately**
Would you like help in **automatically splitting** your **SQL scripts** into logical sections?
Author: user
it seems you, ChatGPT using the ChatGPT4o model, does nto have that limitaiton
Author: ChatGPT
That's correct! **ChatGPT-4o** has a much larger **context window** (128K tokens) compared to **DeepSeek-R1-Distill-LLama-8B** (8192 tokens). This means I can process **entire large SQL scripts** without running into the truncation issues that LM Studio is facing.
---
### **???? Why Does ChatGPT-4o Work, but LM Studio Fails?**
- **ChatGPT-4o (via OpenAI API)**
- Uses a **cloud-based architecture** with **efficient memory management**.
- **Supports up to 128K tokens**, meaning even **huge** SQL scripts can be analyzed in one go.
- Automatically handles **long inputs** by efficiently compressing important details.
- **LM Studio with DeepSeek-R1-Distill (Local Model)**
- **Limited to 8192 tokens**.
- **RAM & VRAM-dependent**???If a script exceeds its **context size**, it fails.
- Requires **manual chunking** to process large SQL scripts.
---
### **??? Your Best Options for Large SQL Scripts**
Since you're already running **LM Studio**, here are some solutions:
1?????? **Switch to a local model with a larger context window**
- Try **Mistral-7B-Instruct (32K tokens)**
- If you have a **GPU with high VRAM (>=48GB)**, consider **Mixtral-8x7B (32K tokens)**.
2?????? **Use OpenAI API (GPT-4o) for large scripts**
- If you need **single-pass analysis**, **ChatGPT-4o handles 128K tokens**.
- Run via OpenAI API if needed.
3?????? **Manually split SQL scripts into smaller chunks**
- Send parts of the script (e.g., **CREATE TABLE, INDEX, PERFORMANCE TUNING**) separately.
4?????? **Use LM Studio???s "Streaming Mode"**
- Some models in LM Studio allow **partial streaming** of responses, which may help with large SQL files.
---
### **???? Next Steps**
Do you want help setting up **automatic SQL script chunking** in Python or PowerShell? That way, you can process **long scripts** in LM Studio **without hitting the token limit**. Let me know! ????
