A quick plug today for Statistics Parser by Richie Rump, a free web site that takes the output from “set statistics io” and formats them (client side) into a tabular format. Interesting and useful to someone who doesn’t have permission to run Profiler (or know how to use it). More interesting because turning on statistics io doesn’t require any additional permissions over that required to execute whatever statement you’re wanting to know the read/write count on, and that made for the inspiration for a new question of the day I just submitted.
