The short videos and complimentary tools provided by SQL Down Under are both quick to learn and an invaluable resource for SQL DBAs and developers. This query analysis method presents an extremely useful summary view making it easy to identify heavy hitting queries and overly chatty applications. I would highly recommended this intro course for anyone involved with performance tuning SQL Server apps and thank Greg for sharing this with the community.
