Free tools for troubleshooting SQL Server performance

This session will be useful for anyone responsible for troubleshooting SQL Server performance problems.

The session provides details on when and how to use the PerfStats scripts to co-ordinate SQL Trace and PerfMon data capture and SQL Nexus for trace analysis.  These tools are completely free to use and make analysis of huge trace files trivial.

These tools provide reports and drill-down analysis for performance troubleshooting and are an invaluable tool for rapid problem diagnosis.

Following this session, attendees will be familiar with the PerfStats and SQLNexus troubleshooting tools, knowing where to get the tools, when to use them and how to interpret the results.
