能否为本地SQL Server获取类似Azure SQL Database的运行时查询分析性能优化建议？

Absolutely! You can absolutely get similar, data-driven performance tips for your on-premises SQL Server—just like the ones you pull from the Azure portal for Azure SQL Database. Here are the most reliable ways to access these recommendations:

1. Use Built-in SSMS Tools (No Extra Software Needed) #

• Query Store: This is your go-to, just like in Azure SQL. It automatically captures query execution data over time, and in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), you can navigate to the Query Store node under your database to find:
  • Top Resource Consuming Queries: Identify slow, high-CPU, or high-I/O queries
  • Query Store Recommendations: Automated suggestions for missing indexes, query rewrites, or fixing regressed query plans
• Database Engine Tuning Advisor: Right-click a query, database, or even a workload file in SSMS, launch this tool, and it will analyze your workload to recommend indexes, partitioning strategies, and statistics updates tailored to your actual usage.

2. Leverage Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) & Extended Events #

• You can pull raw performance data directly using DMVs like sys.dm_exec_query_stats (to find inefficient queries) or sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats (to spot unused indexes). Many community-maintained scripts wrap these DMVs into easy-to-read reports that include actionable optimization tips.
• Extended Events let you capture granular performance events (like long-running queries or deadlocks) without the overhead of SQL Trace. You can use the built-in event sessions in SSMS to analyze bottlenecks and derive your own recommendations, or build custom sessions for specific issues.

3. Sync with Azure via Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server #

If you want an experience nearly identical to the Azure portal, register your on-premises SQL Server with Azure Arc. This syncs your local performance data to Azure, where Microsoft’s machine learning models analyze it—just like they do for Azure SQL Database—to generate tailored performance recommendations directly in the Azure portal.

4. Third-Party Tools (Optional) #

Commercial tools like Redgate SQL Monitor or SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer offer automated, ongoing performance monitoring and recommendations. These can be useful if you need enterprise-grade alerting and pre-built optimization workflows, but the native tools above are more than sufficient for most use cases.

At the end of the day, on-premises SQL Server has robust, built-in tools that mirror the core functionality of Azure’s performance recommendations—you don’t need to rely on the cloud to get great optimization tips.
