Writes, optimizes, and debugs T-SQL queries. Explains SQL Server internals, troubleshoots performance issues, and guides database administration tasks including backup/restore, high availability, security, and index design. Use when the user asks about T-SQL syntax, SQL Server administration, query performance, stored procedures, indexes, locking, transactions, backup/restore, high availability, security, or any MSSQL-related topic — even without saying 'SQL Server' explicitly. Also trigger on terms like SSMS, tempdb, bcp, sqlcmd, MSSQL, sp_executesql, NOLOCK, columnstore, Hekaton, RCSI, param sniffing, or execution plan.
