Opened up SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager the other day to look at a performance problem (which turned out to be someone purging WSUS of old updates). Anyway, I went to look at Process Info (under Management –> Current Activity) to see what was happening. Process Info displays details on various SQL process IDs (e.g. Open Transactions, CPU, Physical IO, Memory Usage). It also lets you sort by various columns – which can be quite useful. I say “can be”, because, unfortunately, Enterprise Manager seems to do an ASCII or alphanumeric sort, rather than a numeric sort:
 |
| Process Info sorted by CPU |
What bright spark went to all that trouble to provide all this information in Process Info, and then didn’t do the last bit to allow us to sort it in an intelligent manner. I mean, it can’t be that hard.
It’s just not good enough!
