Get Move Names

Handy when I am scripting a restore from Prod to a testing lab.
SELECT
CONCAT('move','''',space(1),name,'''',space(1),'TO','''',SPACE(1),Physical_name,'''',',')
FROM sys.master_files
WHERE db_name(database_id) = 'TLC_CDC'

When will my Restore complete? Script

SELECT      command, percent_complete,
            'elapsed' = total_elapsed_time / 60000.0,
            'remaining' = estimated_completion_time / 60000.0
FROM        sys.dm_exec_requests
WHERE       command like 'BACKUP%'


SELECT r.session_id,r.command,CONVERT(NUMERIC(6,2),r.percent_complete)
AS [Percent Complete],CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),DATEADD(ms,r.estimated_completion_time,GetDate()),20) AS [ETA Completion Time],
CONVERT(NUMERIC(10,2),r.total_elapsed_time/1000.0/60.0) AS [Elapsed Min],
CONVERT(NUMERIC(10,2),r.estimated_completion_time/1000.0/60.0) AS [ETA Min],
CONVERT(NUMERIC(10,2),r.estimated_completion_time/1000.0/60.0/60.0) AS [ETA Hours],
CONVERT(VARCHAR(1000),(SELECT SUBSTRING(text,r.statement_start_offset/2,
CASE WHEN r.statement_end_offset = -1 THEN 1000 ELSE (r.statement_end_offset-r.statement_start_offset)/2 END)
FROM sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle)))
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests r WHERE command IN ('RESTORE DATABASE','BACKUP DATABASE')

SP_HelpDB 'DBName'

SP_HelpDB 'DBName'
This is useful for getting the names with address for Database files. I use it when I an scripting restores. I like it because it gives the useable name and address even when a VMWare mount point is specified.

Capture SQL Permissions for an Instance

This is for SQL DBAs to capture information on a server on which they have System Admin rights. It is not for hacking other peoples servers. This is for migrating an instance to a new server.
