When configuring your analysis, you can choose which database or application workload you want to include in the analysis. Picking a database or application allows you to further fine-tune the analysis results.

You can also set the amount of time (duration, in minutes) that you want SQL Doctor to spend collecting data for your analysis. When setting the analysis duration, select a number of minutes that is proportionate to the criticality of the performance issue you are experiencing. For example, if you are experiencing a serious performance issue and you select more than one performance category to analyze, you may want to run the analysis for at least 15 minutes to ensure that you collect enough data. The more data SQL Doctor can collect for a given analysis, the greater likelihood that the resultant recommendations accurately identify and resolve the issue.
