One-time work
One-time SQL Server services
For a single project without a monthly plan. Each service is a fixed price per SQL Server instance.
| Service | What we do | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Install SQL Server | Install and configure SQL Server with the same settings, backup management, and maintenance scripts we use on our managed instances. | $400 |
| dbachecks setup and run | Set up the open-source dbachecks tool on your instance, run a full health check, and walk you through the results so you can re-run it yourself. | $200 |
| Security audit | Review failed logins, orphaned users, and permissions, and apply outstanding service packs and cumulative updates. | $200 |
| Index maintenance | Find missing, unused, and duplicate indexes and check fragmentation, with recommended changes. | $100 |
| Maintenance task setup | Deploy our standard maintenance jobs (integrity checks, index and statistics maintenance, cleanup) on your instance. | $100 |
| Test restore | Restore your backup files to a test instance and check them for corruption and consistency errors. | $100 |
