How much is the database being read from vs written to?
- by Bill Paetzke
I'd like to determine if my web app is read-heavy, write-heavy, or somewhere in between. I could take a guess, but I want proof.
Is there a query I could run in Sql Server 2005 that would tell me the overall read/write ratio? Are there any caveats I should be aware of?
Perhaps it can be found in a DMV query, or the Performance Dashboard, or examining a Sql Profiler trace. I'm not sure exactly how.
