Problem Statement of SQL Script:

How to Find Cumulative IO Stats?

Description of SQL Script:

This script will show the amount of IO that has been done for each database file. As well as this it will show the read/write work load split as well as showing what sort of wait times you have for each io request type.

An important aspect to note with this particular data is that the values are transient in that a server restart for example will reset them.
