Tell me your secrets

/*******************************************************************************************************SQL SERVER 2005 - Tell me your secrets!********************************************************************************************************Description: Report on the current performance health status of a SQL Server 2005 server using non-instrusive methods.Purpose: Identify areas where the database server as a whole can be improved, using data collected by SQL Server itself. Many of these items apply to the database server as a whole, rather than specific queries. Author: Ian Stirk (Ian_Stirk@yahoo.com).Date: June 2007.Notes: This collection of SQL inspects various DMVs, this information can be used to highlightwhat areas of the SQL Server sever can be improved. The following items are reported on:1. Causes of the server waits2. Databases using the most IO3. Count of missing indexes, by database4. Most important missing indexes5. Unused Indexes6. Most costly indexes (high maintenance)7. Most used indexes8. Most fragmented indexes9. Most costly queries, by average IO10. Most costly queries, by average CPU11. Most costly CLR queries, by average CLR time12. Most executed queries13. Queries suffering most from blocking14. Queries with the lowest plan reuse********************************************************************************************************PRE-REQUISITE
1. Best to have as much DMV data as possible (When last rebooted? Want daily? weekly, monthly, quarterly results).
2. Output HSR to Grid? Text? File? Table? Reporting Services? If set results to text, get the actual sprocs in output.
3. Decide if want to put results in a database? Later analysis, historical comparisons, impact of month-end, quarter etc. 
4. Decide if want to run the defrag code, can be expensive.
5. Decide if want to iterate over all databases for a specific aspect (e.g. average IO).FOLLOW-UP (After running this routine's SQL)
1. Investigative work, use dba_SearchDB/dba_SearchDBServer for analysis.
2. Demonstrate/measure the improvement: Find underlying queries, apply change, run stats IO ON, see execuation plan.
3. SQL Server Best Practices Analyzer.INTRUSIVE INSPECTION (Follow-up and corollary to this work)
1. Trace typical workload (day, monthend? etc)
2. Reduce recorded queries to query signatures (Ben-Gan's method)
3. Calculate the total duration for similar query patterns
4. Tune the most important query patterns in DTA, then apply recommended indexes/stats.*********************************************************************************************************/-- Do not lock anything, and do not get held up by any locks.
