sp_BlitzLock gets better identification of parallel deadlocks, sp_DatabaseRestore uses Ola's scripts for logging, and lots of bug fixes this month.

To get the new version:

sp_Blitz Changes

sp_BlitzFirst Changes

  • Improvement: in @expertmode = 1, when we show the top files by read & write stalls, show 20 files instead of 5, and also sort them by the worst stalls. (#2707)
  • Fix: ignore FT_IFTSHC_MUTEX waits. (#2697)

sp_BlitzIndex Changes

  • Fix: index suggestions on really long table names could be truncated. (#2680, thanks Ralf Pickel.)
  • Fix: columnstore visualization only worked on tables in the dbo schema. (#2683, thanks Ali Hacks.)
  • Fix: nonclustered columnstore visualization didn't report the correct columns. (#2684, thanks Ali Hacks.)
  • Fix: if you passed in databases to be ignored, they were still counting against the 50-database limit before we made you pass in BringThePain = 1. (#2693, thanks skrishnan31.)
  • Fix: temporal tables had table.schema in the detail names rather than schema.table. (#2694, thanks Mark Hions and Mikey Bronowski.)

sp_BlitzLock Changes

sp_DatabaseRestore Changes:

  • Improvement: commands are now run with CommandExecute so that they get logged if things go wrong. (#2700, thanks Frederik Vanderhaegen.)
  • Fix: the new @SkipBackupsAlreadyInMsdb switch was ignoring transaction logs if you were restoring them on the same server where you were taking backups (since they were already in msdb.) (#2710, thanks Greg Dodd, and you can watch a video of him fixing it.)

sp_ineachdb Changes

  • Fix: now handles database names with spaces in 'em. (#2702, thanks renegm.)

For Support

When you have questions about how the tools work, talk with the community in the #FirstResponderKit Slack channel. If you need a free invite, hit SQLslack.com. Be patient - it's staffed with volunteers who have day jobs.

When you find a bug or want something changed, read the contributing.md file.

When you have a question about what the scripts found, first make sure you read the "More Details" URL for any warning you find. We put a lot of work into documentation, and we wouldn't want someone to yell at you to go read the fine manual. After that, when you've still got questions about how something works in SQL Server, post a question at DBA.StackExchange.com and the community (that includes me!) will help. Include exact errors and any applicable screenshots, your SQL Server version number (including the build #), and the version of the tool you're working with.
