Query Fingerprints and Plan Fingerprints
SQL Server 2008 has been released, but the full capabilities of the product are still be discovered. This isn’t a case of discovery so much as Microsoft, in the person of Bart Duncan, has shown us something new. Read the article. This is one of the most exciting things I’ve seen in a long time. It’s especially exciting as we see databases becoming less and less manageable through the implementation of tools like nHibernate.
As I noted in a previous post, nHibernate will create a lot of execution plans. With the capabilities here, we’ll be able to easily and quickly aggregate some of those plans to identify the costly queries coming out of nHibernate without having to resort to 24 hour Profiler monitoring.
Great stuff.
