SQL Internals Viewer - looking into the SQL Server storage engine
Danny Gould, created a tool to graphically display database storage internals, and seeing how data is physically allocated, organised and stored - the SQL Internals Viewer.
...

AND, with some interesting benefits:
- Encode and Find - to encode a value to a particular data type and then search for it in the page
- SQL Server 2008 Page and Row Compression
- Key - Clicking on an item on the Key will highlight it on the Allocation Map

- Physical Stats nodes - information about sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats

- SQL Editor - includes a view on the Transaction Log
- ... and more!
All things considered - it`s a very, very nice tool!
