Okay - I've been reading through a ton of blogs, and every other one
seems to have some neat, new-to-me tool that I've missed that I could
really use. Our production DBA recently left, and I'd rather find
code to help me do his job, improve things, and maybe get some
sleep.

For instance, I hadn't seen these until recently:
Performance Dashboard - SSMS reports with everything from CPU usage to
top queries, etc.
SQL DMVStats - code that builds and populates a repository of
performance data using DMVs
SQL Server Hosting Toolkit - potentially a way to better deploy code
to QA & Production.

What other projects have I missed? Our environment has Clusters,
VLDBs, a QA environment, etc, etc ... and after finding these I'm sure
that other, brighter, minds have come up with stuff to make my life
easier.

Thanks in advance.
