In one of the last gigs I stumbled upon an orphaned SQL Server db.Everybody used it, but nobody managed it. It had hummed along non stop over a full year on a cluster, without giving problems. A minimal maintainance plan had been setup when it was created, then it was "forgotten" by the admins. It had reached the size of about 70 GB without anybody noticing, filling up 4x36 GB RAID disks. Now diskspace was no more. And it started throwing fits.
The users noticed, the technical people were called. And then they noticed.Nobody had tenderly cared this "little" app since it was born, not even to notify by mail, pager or net send of incumbing problems.
The question: will Yukon force the creator of a db to create some minimal monitoring alerts/auto-partitioning/auto-indexing?
