On-call burden — sound familiar?
- ▸ Default sa-account ownership of jobs — Critical SQL Agent jobs owned by sa; when sa is disabled per security policy, all jobs fail. Ownership migration is touchy and nobody's done it before.
- ▸ Wait stats analysis quarterly, not daily —
sys.dm_os_wait_statsreviewed only during incidents; small regressions accumulate for weeks before someone notices the trend. - ▸ Licensing audit risk per SQL Server — Standard Edition deployed for cost; under-the-radar use of Enterprise features (Always-On readable secondaries, In-Memory OLTP) puts you at audit risk.
