Checklists
• Do you really mean a checklist.– Yes, just like a pilot will use before take off.
• Why– So that repetitive mundane tasks do not get
forgotten.– So that when audited there is proof of these
items being check.– DBA’s are human.
Checklists for What?
• In my opinion everything you can.– Calendar based tasks– Audits (Security, DDL,ect.)– Schema Changes– Installs and configurations– Replication setup– Trouble Shoot– Baseline– When you start a new position
What not to put into a Checklist
• Anything that you have automated, and is stable.– H2 Example– Microsoft MOM– Other performance tools.
Don’t forget Management Checklists
• Performance Reviews
• Code Reviews
• Team Building
Ways to Remember
• Calendar Items
• Tasks lists
• Share Point
• Good Old Fashion Desk Calendar
Example:
• Daily Checklist– Check the error logs– Check the disk space – Check job failures– Check your backups completed– Re-indexes– DBCC’s
Who should do the checklist
• Creations should be done from experiences and Sr. DBA’s
• Everyone in my opinion.
• I believe this is a great place to get Jr. DBA’s started.
