Attach to Process in Visual Studio 2017 not working
I started seeing a weird issue while working in Visual Studio 2017 few days back. I was not able to attach to running processes with the Visual Studio debugger. The IDE used to freeze/hung each time I tried to do so. The ‘Attach to Process’ window used to come up but it was blank and all I saw was the spinner – eventually the screen became unresponsive after some time.
JSON_MODIFY FUNCTION IN SQL SERVER 2016

JSON_QUERY FUNCTION IN SQL SERVER 2016
JSON_QUERY is used to extract an object or array from a JSON string. JSON_VALUE function returns a scalar value whereas JSON_QUERY returns an object or an array from the JSON data.
JSON_VALUE Function in SQL Server 2016
SQL Server 2016 provides built-in support for storing, managing and parsing JSON data.

ISJSON Function in SQL Server 2016
SQL Server 2016 provides built-in support for storing, managing and parsing JSON data. Lot of web services and Web APIs are using JSON these days, primarily as their data interchange format. The inability of the older versions of SQL Server to parse, store and process JSON data has been a hindrance. This makes the integration of JSON tinto SQL Server as one of the most popular features of SQL Server 2016.

Searching in SQL Execution Plans – SSMS 17
SQL Server Management Studio 2017 gives us the ability to search on execution plans. If you want to look at say a particular table, index, index scan/seek operation in the execution plan, you can now just search for those operators in the execution plan.
SSMS 17: Built-in Performance Dashboard Reports
SQL Server Performance Dashboard Reports are used to monitor and resolve performance issues in your Database Server. They are generally targeted towards a Database Administrator, and enabling them to quickly identify any performance bottlenecks in the system, gather diagnostic information that can potentially help to resolve the issue.

Diagnosing a SQL Performance Issue in Production
We bumped into a Performance issue last week for one of our web application in Production. After doing some research and looking at Logic Monitor reports for web servers and database servers, we figured out that the Deadlocks and Lock Timeouts in the Database have increased considerably.
