The DBA MultiTool is a suite of scripts for the long haul: optimizing storage, on-the-fly documentation, general administrative needs, and more. Each script relies solely on T-SQL to ensure it is secure, requires no third-party software, and can be installed in seconds.

Scripts

To install/update all the scripts, use install_dba-multitool.sql.

Looking for ways to automate the scripts? Try Install-DbaMultiTool from dbatools :rocket:, or the Ansible collection lowlydba.sqlserver.

For detailed instructions and documentation, see dba-multitool.org
