Muitas vezes existe a necessidade de fazer algo com o SQL Server que não necessariamente é
fornecido com o produto. Graças à Microsoft há uma abundância de ferramentas livres adicionais que
podem ser usadas para aprimorar seu ambiente SQL Server.
Microsoft tem abundância de ferramentas adicionais que você pode tirar proveito do que interagir ou
suporte do SQL Server. Abaixo está uma lista de algumas ferramentas que poderiam vir a calhar e
aprimorar o conjunto de ferramentas você já tem disponível. Algumas dessas ferramentas são
específicas ao SQL Server 2000 ou SQL Server 2005, portanto, leia a documentação que está
disponível no download.
A lista abaixo é apenas uma amostra do que pode ser encontrado no site de download da Microsoft
para SQL Server. Então dê uma olhada nessas opções e também pesquisar para ver se existem
ferramentas que você pode se beneficiar.
Ferramenta
Descrição
Read80Trace
Read80Trace is a command line utility for processing trace files
generated by SQL Server 2000. As output, it generates RML files
and/or a database populated with normalized data that can be
useful for analyzing the performance of the system. Read80Trace
requires that the destination database also run SQL Server 2000
or later.
OSTRESS
OSTRESS is a multithreaded ODBC-based query tool. It reads its
input from a command line parameter, RML file(s) produced by
read80trace, or standard go-delimited .SQL scripts. In stress
mode one thread is created for each connection and all threads
run as fast as possible with no synchronization among the
threads. This mode is quite useful for generating a specific type of
stress load on the server. The replay mode provides a means to
synchronize events by ensuring that they play back in the correct
sequence that they originally happened, with the same relative
duration between events, or both. Three key features provided by
OSTRESS replay that are not in the Profiler replay tool are the
ability to replay RPC events as remote procedure calls, replay
attentions, and replay DTC transactions. It is also command line
based so that it can be run as part of an automated process or test
script.
PSSDiag
PSSDiag is a diagnostic data collector for Microsoft SQL Server. It
can simultaneously collect Perfmon/Sysmon logs, Profiler traces,
event logs, SQLDIAG reports, and detailed blocking information. It
is commonly used by Microsoft Product Support Services
engineers to collect diagnostic data from end-user installations
and can also be used by end-users to troubleshoot and monitor
their own SQL Server installations.
SQLIO
SQLIO is a tool provided by Microsoft which can also be used to
determine the I/O capacity of a given configuration.
SQLH2
The Microsoft SQL Server Health and History Tool (SQLH2)
allows you to collect information from instances of SQL Server,
store this information, and run reports against the data in order to
determine how SQL Server is being used.
SQLH2
Performance
Collector
The SQLH2 Performance Collector is a stand-alone service of
Microsoft Windows that collects and stores performance counter
data from selected servers. You should install this optional
component if you are interested in collecting performance
counters along with system information. The SQLH2 Collector
gathers the data that this service collects and stores this data in
the repository when you run the SQLH2 Collector.

SQL 2000 JDBC
Driver
The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC is a Type 4 JDBC
driver that provides highly scalable and reliable connectivity for the
enterprise Java environment. This driver provides JDBC access to
SQL Server 2000 through any Java-enabled applet, application, or
application server.

Best Practices
Analyzer
Microsoft SQL Server Best Practices Analyzer is a database
management tool that lets you verify the implementation of
common Best Practices. These best practices typically relate to
the usage and administration aspects of SQL Server databases
and ensure that your SQL Servers are managed and operated
well.

Management
Pack
SQL Critical Update scans the computer on which it is running for
instances of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 that are
vulnerable to the Slammer worm, and updates the affected files.
SQL Scan scans an individual computer, a Windows domain, or a
range of IP addresses for instances of SQL Server 2000 and
MSDE 2000, and identifies instances that may be vulnerable to
the Slammer worm.
SQL Check scans the computer on which it is running for
instances of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 that are
vulnerable to the Slammer worm. SQL Check also identifies
vulnerable SQL Server 2000 clusters, but does not disable them.
The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Management Pack provides both
proactive and reactive monitoring of SQL Server 2000 in an
enterprise environment. Availability and configuration monitoring,
performance data collection, and default thresholds are built for
enterprise-level monitoring. Both local and remote connectivity
checks help ensure database availability.
SQL 2005 JDBC
Driver
The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver is a Type 4 JDBC
driver that provides database connectivity through the standard
JDBC application program interfaces (APIs) available in J2EE
(Java2 Enterprise Edition).
