I was asked to diagnose an actual problem they were having with a database. I was given access to their performance visualization tools so I could see the DB's vital signs. I was asked to explain why a spike in DB response time occurred at a specific time (as shown on a graph). I was able to log into the database and examine statistics and performance counters, but the best tools were their extensive graphs.
