Hi all,

At last, SQL Server incorporates "Wait events" in SQL Server 2005. The
article was written by someone in MS who works as an Oracle
Performance Engineer on MS platforms. He makes reference to YAPP and
credits the Oracle community for taking this up. (Anjo - you should
have patented YAPP...) The link is at:

Some +/-: Wait stats (as seen) is not yet available at a session
level, but ties in very well to the OS stats. Documentation is sparse
and general awareness is still not very prevalent, so there is still
hope for someone who wants to write a "SQL Server Wait Interface
Tuning" book! (Kirti/Gopal - wanna go over to the dark side??)
