This is a continuation of the framework to SQL Server performance tuning with Mini DBA (download free edition Get it here). Read part 1 here.
The first part focussed on server level performance issues, the second part on database issues, this part will look at T-SQL query tuning and all the tools Mini DBA provides to help you with this.
The above screenshot gives you an idea of the information available in this screen. Pay particular attention to very high log use percentages and IO activity. These are key indicators of potentially performance hitting loads.

8. Which Database?
If you are not sure which database is causing your server to have problems you can view each database side by side in the databases screen. It allows you to compare databases for current activity and tell which ones have the highest load.
