Hello!
Hi,
My name is Danny and I’m the author of a tool called SQL Internals Viewer. If you haven’t already seen the application it can be downloaded here. Essentially the tool is a window on the SQL Server Storage Engine, displaying how SQL Server structures and stores data internally.
My plan for this blog is to cover a few things. Firstly I’d like to explain the functionality of the application. Second I’m going to cover some fundamentals of the Storage Engine so you can put what the viewer displays into context. Finally I’ll cover some general information that I’ve found out through the development of the app, and occasionally I’ll veer into more general SQL stuff.
I’ll try to keep the posts fairly short and concise so this blog isn’t a chore to read! I’ll also try to include a lot of examples. If there is anything you are interested in or if you would like me to go into a particular aspect of the app, including how it works, please let me know. I can be contacted at danny@sqlinternalsviewer.com.
