He mentioned he was going to put it online and I encouraged him to do so as I could see the benefit to many people out there of not having to write their own analysis tools\/spreadsheets. <\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">You can get to David&#39;s free analysis site at <\/font><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">http:\/\/tools.davidklee.net\/sqlio.aspx<\/font><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\">. Clicking on the link at bottom right allows you to upload a SQLIO results text file. Once you&#39;ve clicked ANALYZE, select the option to output the results to a spreadsheet and one will be automatically generated for you. If you look in the Analysis pane of the spreadsheet, you&#39;ll see something like below (using David&#39;s supplied example SQLIO output).<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font size=\"2\">Very cool stuff &#8211; thanks David!<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogs\/paul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/5\/sqlio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogs\/paul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/5\/sqlio2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During every one of our Immersion Events, we designate Thursday evening as &#39;open mic&#39; night where anyone can do a 15-minute presentation on anything they want (to do with SQL Server) to the class.
