Continuing to share tips and tricks using dbatools like the Refresh databases that belongs to availability group using dbatools posted a few days ago, today I will share a way to export the permissions of a login/user at instance/database level and apply them to a new login/user.
The typical request Client: “We have a new colleague, can you please grant them the exact same permissions I have?!”
A quick note/suggestion that may help minimize your work: If we are talking about a Windows Login, please suggest the use of AD groups to help you (so that you don’t need to do this process) and also them (they don’t need to make this request).
Just a quick post as may help any of you searching for this.
Scenario Client wants to analyze most recent deadlocks that happened on a specific instance. They asked us to send the xdl files.
How do we get the deadlocks? Depending on the version of SQL Server that you are running, there are different ways to do it. In this post I will share how you can do it from all files that belongs to the system_health extended event session.
Few days ago I was surfing on Twitter when dbatools asked about how it’s PowerShell module changed the way people work .
Open and check the answers given by the community as there is really good stuff there!
My turn I have shared one of my recipes related to database refreshes. You know, when the client says, “please restore this backup or the most recent backup on our instance.”. But what if the databases belong to an availability group?
Disclaimer: The title is my assumption because I saw it in the past happening this way.
This blog post aims to make you remember something: something that is obvious to you, might not be obvious to others.
Scenario A client has a process which consists of a stored procedure that wraps a bunch of other stored procedures. The process runs for about 10 hours.
Taking a look…what is running right now?
There are some actions that we know that will have to be repeated from time to time, but the surprise comes when it’s time to do so and the process that used to work does not work anymore.
This is a short post to document a slight change that I had to do to achieve the same final result as the first time.
Long story short A client needed to run a setup to install an application.
