  1. Steve, I would like to see more same DMVs on SQL 2012 Availability groups and AlwaysOn both from an administrative/maintenance and health point of view.

  2. Hi Steve
    Just loaded down and install locally the beta 10 (January 2015) version of Database Health…..first let me say it a brilliant and wonderful product so please, please keep up the good work……
    Now for the bad news…..when I launch the product I get a message indicating that I need to upgrade (which I just did) and absolutely nothing happens…..help….it is a great product and I really do not want to stop using it……

  3. Week 10 – Database Corruption Challenge. I was wondering you are going to posted the solutions for week 10.

    Thanks for running this challenge it was a great learning experience and found it interesting on how people came up with the correct answers.

    Thanks

  4. Steve,
    I need a mentor to teach me how to be a Ninja level data analyst with SQL. Would you be interested ?

  5. Hello Steve,

    Hope you had good week so far. I am getting the below error whenever I am test the connection for the HistoricDB on only one of the servers but not others.
    Also I can see that the Login DBHealthUser is not getting created after successfully configuring the Historic database.

    Thanks,
    Sai

    Starting test…

    1. Testing HistoricDB connection (MYDOMPRDSQL02).
    HistoricDB connection is good.

    2. Testing configuration for (MYDOMPRDSQL02).
    ERROR: Database configured multiple times.

    • Hello Sai –

      You will want to look at the table [dbo].[instanceMonitor] in the DBHealthHistory database.

      SELECT *
      FROM [DBHealthHistory].[dbo].[instanceMonitor]

      Then look for multiple configurations for the same instance, and delete one of them.

      That should clear up the multiple instance configuration issue.
