Hi,
In SQL Server 2008, could we have the profiler trace that collected only the blocked process reports as a workload for Database Engine Tuning Advisor. I am only facing blocking issues on my server which is causing performance issues. So I thought I could start collecting profiler trace for only the blocking reported.
Another question is, while DTA is analysing, will it create indexes in the background or create additional blocking? I noticed that indices get created even after I select this option "Keep All existing PDS". When I run sp_who2 while DTA is running, I could see some processes like 'create index'. Why this happens even after I select ""Keep All existing PDS".
Please share your comments.
