Environment
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

Cause
When a database becomes too large, this can lead to performance issues within the software. Waveforms take up a considerable amount of storage. In order to begin analyzing the database storage composition, it is helpful to see the number of waveforms recorded by individual devices.

Resolution

*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up prior to performing this procedure.*

Use the following SQL query:

use ION_Data
SELECT wl2.SourceID, s.Name as 'Source Name', COUNT(*) AS 'Number of Waveforms'
FROM  WaveformLog2 wl2
inner join Source s on wl2.SourceID = s.ID
group by wl2.SourceID, s.name
order by 'number of waveforms' desc
