Hello everyone,

We are having performance issues with one our SQL Server 2005 database. We have about 9 sql database on one server.

Example of my issue:

Database 1
Database 2
Database 3
Database 4

We have a problem with performance with Database 1 but everything in Database 1 is fined tuned.
Question: How can I know if Database 2 or 3 or 4 is cause the performance issue on Database 1?

Please help.

Run SQL Profiler to find the long running queries and those with high Reads and high CPU. You'll likely find that database 1 is not as fine tuned as you think.

I've never seen a database that was perfectly tuned, and that includes ones that I tuned for a couple of years straight.

It could be that queries in the other DBs are using memory and CPU that is affecting DB 1. It's more likely that with data growth, the queries and indexes in DB 1 need to be revised, indexes rebuilt and statistics updated.
