First Responder Kit

My free First Responder Kit (zip) is packed with scripts, worksheets, and checklists like:

sp_Blitz, sp_BlitzIndex, sp_BlitzCache – free health check scripts
SQL Server Setup Checklist – with the common questions I get about configs
High Availability and Disaster Recovery Planning Worksheet – communicating your RPO and RTO clearly
The Data Professional Annual Salary Survey responses

It’s totally free because I’ve been there too. I know how hard it is to keep SQL Server fast and reliable, and I want to make your job easier. Later, if you need consulting or training for tough pains that have you stumped, I hope you’ll stop by.

Download the First Responder Kit, and if you want, you can also sign up for email reminders when I publish new versions:

Need a SQL Server remote DBA consultant to help?

Don’t have time to learn the hard way? I’m here to help!

I wrote sp_Blitz because I’m a consultant, and I needed a quick, easy way to find out if a client’s server is in a safe space for consulting. sp_Blitz isn’t my end deliverable: it’s just the starting point to getting a fast, reliable Microsoft SQL Server.

I specialize in a quick SQL Critical Care® process that gets to the root cause of your database health and performance pains. I’ll get your entire team on the same page and teach you how to make your databases faster and more reliable.
