Top 3 Table Row count report via email alert in SQL Server

Automating Top 3 Table Row Count Reports in SQL Server

As database administrators, monitoring table sizes and row counts is crucial for performance tuning, space management, and optimizing database resources. One of the ways to accomplish this is by generating a report that lists the top 3 tables with the highest row counts in each database, along with space usage details.

Automating SQL Server Log Backup Status Monitoring and Email Alerts

In SQL Server environments, ensuring timely backups and monitoring their status is essential for maintaining database integrity. Here's a simple approach to automate the process of checking backup statuses and sending email notifications if there are any failures.

Set nocount ON

If OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Log') is not NULL
