The year is 2025, and the databases that once seemed so clever have gotten old and cranky. They’re no longer content with sitting there, quietly holding onto rows and columns like good little librarians. Nope. Now they’ve got opinions. They’ve got styles. They’ve got ideas about how to organize themselves, how to spread out across the clouds, how to speak human language, and how to lock the door behind you when you’re done rummaging through their shelves.

The old way of doing things — shoving everything into a single warehouse and hoping for the best — is about as appealing as canned spinach.  So, what will we do instead?

Considering the sheer volume of data slugging through the digital pipelines, knowing your indexes shou be your bread and butter. Here, we’re slicing through the thick crust of complexity to expose clustered and non-clustered indexes and their cousins.

Why bother? Because we live at the age of instant grafitication. The speed at which you can retrieve data can be the difference between leading and trailing behind. That’s why we will be going through the ins and outs of clustered and non-clustered indexes and their specialized kin. On they way, keep in mind that each type has a role. For every one there is a specific scenario where its purpose becomes the most obvious.

It’s about knowing who to tap for the performance you crave, at precisely the right moment.

In the high-tech tangle of our time, more cores usually mean a slower tick-tock in the CPU clock. The sage database administrators find themselves revisiting the old battleground of processor usage. The latest update to DBPLUS Performance Monitor (Version 2024.2) includes significant enhancements that aid in this monitoring. Particularly through its dedicated page for OS statistics—OS Stat Page.

Statistics can lie—” The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself” This old adage attributed to Sir Winston Churchill rings especially true if you’re dealing with daily database monitoring. When data is only captured in 15-minute intervals, transient issues that can severely impact performance might slip through the cracks, unnoticed and unaddressed until they’ve already caused significant problems.

In the newest release of the DBPLUS PERFORMANCE MONITOR, we’re extremely excited to show you the solution that the new functionality brings to the table.
