Hello,
I need change a SQL Server 2005 configuration, this service is placed in a server with 2 Physical processors dualcore and 4 processing nucleus.
I need that it´s use only one of the Physical Processors....How i do that?

Problem: We have a set of sql queries and one core duo processor. We want one subset of queries would be executed on first core of our CPU and the rest of queries would be executed on the second core of CPU. We are using MS SQL Server 2005 – Workgroup edition.
Is there any way how to do this with one instance of SQL Server or with two instances at least (is there any way how to force an instance A to use CPU1 (first core of core duo CPU) and instance B to use CPU2 (second core of core duo CPU)) ?
Thank you for your ideas!

The number of data files within a single filegroup should equal to the number of CPU cores. So for a quad core CPU there should be 4 data files. Is there anything that one need to take care besides creating the data files for a filegroup. I belieev SQL takes care of itself how to update data files .

if it DOESNT, any idea if they plan on releasing a service back to allow it to?
We just purchased a Quad Core xeon server. It it my understanding that express can only utilize a single cpu/core. Is there a way I can setup windows or ms sql server to dedicate one particular core soley for ms sql?

Thanks,

Is it true that SQL Server treats it as 2 processors and Microsoft only charges 1 license?
That sounds VERY un-Microsoftish......but I'd better shut up....MS is probably in the process of figuing out how to nik me more for my license.)
Hello,
Is performance of web application (ASP.NET + SQL Server 2005 Wrg edition + Win Server 2003 Web edition) running on server with one core duo/4 CPU generally comparable to the performance of the same application running on the same server with 2/4 physical CPU’s?
Thank you for your ideas!

I configured an SSIS package to collect information about servers in our environment and as a part of it the package collects the Physical and Logical CPU's. Since we are on per-core licensing for SQL Servers, i would need to get the exact core count. I can simply do Logical cpu / Physical CPU to get the Core count assuming that hyperthreading is turned on. What if the hyperthreading is not on, then i would end up getting the wrong Core count.
I query the registry to get this info. I would like to get your inputs for getting the exact core count on Windows servers with Intel and AMD processors.
Hi,
I am running MSSQL 2005 Standard edition on a two processor Intel Xeon 3GHz (dual-core) with 8GB RAM.
I notice in "Windows task manager CPU performance" while running a long SQL statement (takes 1.5 hours), only 1 logical (out of 4) is utilised at >70%. The remaining 3 logical processors hover around 10%
Using Performance monitor, the average read queue, write queue, and pages/sec also hovers around 25%, indicating no heavy physical disk/memory loading.
How can I set to utilise more physical/logical processor to improve the MSSQL performance ?
Thanks.
We are trying to work with our developers to upgrade to SQL 2000 from SQL 7 for a critical applicaion and all looks good in testing for the most part. The concern that our developers have is that in order for the application to work on the test SQL 2000 server they had to delete a core data type (bigint) for the application to work. It doesn't appear to have any negative affects and we know for sure that the application database does not need that data type at all.
Can someone verify that there are no requirements for SQL 2000 needing to have this data type? They are worried that something within SQL may rely on it and we would find out the hard way in production possibly.
Hi,Is there a reason why we have to pay more for licensing for a differentkind of processor?Why are we not charged for the Hyperthreading on some processors also.If Oracle is really conserned about the low end business market (smalland medium), then they should drop their attitude on Dual Coreprocessors.If they start charging as if it was a normal processor, and ask thenormal price, then they would get more of this market coming in.As long as Oracle keeps on having the attitude of charging more,because Intel or some other cpu vendor decided to mprove theirprocessors because of overheating problems, I will have the attitudethat I will keep on reoccomending alternatives for Orcle like Mysql /Postgre sql / Sybase, etc to the small/medium sector.Microsoft's pricing model on double core processors suddenly soundallot better.Oracle are shooting themselves in the foot! Or am I the only personfeeling this way?Shaun O'Reilly

I am new to this so I hope I'm doing it right.
We are in the process of replacing a computer that currently has SQL 2005 Management Studio Express installed. We are looking at a Intel Core 2 Quad processor (Q6700) and want to know if SQL will be able to make full use of a quad core. Thanks
ok i have intel dual core i have a conflict only in playing a game black hawk down it gives me a run stop error. locks up and has to be restarted. microsoft gave me a fix but when i do the fix it causes me to get a system dump error on the game. i can update my web site do anything else let daughter play her games or do her school work and nothing happens. i was told i needed to set up the dual core so that my programs dont conflict i am a moron when it comes to computers is there a fix for this or i am i just going to have to go back to single core processor for now thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith two 64 bit quad core processors on the server, we have 8 processor cores. Does this mean that we'll need Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise edition because Standard only supports up to 4-way SMP?
Thanks!
When Standard Edition says it supports 4 processors, is this just the physical processor or do we have to factor in multiple cores?
If SE supports 4 physical quad-core processors, is it written to optimally utilize the quad-core technology or would I be better off using Enterprise Edition?

hi all,
I was under the impression that SQL Server 2005 can install on dual processor, quad core Intel machines.
Here's what we have: Intel Quad Core Xeon (E7340) @ 2.4Ghz. (8 way)
Has anyone encountered any issues w/ this setup -- particularly on this Intel CPU version?
thank you,

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I don€™t know what caused this. Anyone has any idea? Please help! Below is the Installation Report which shows installed components.

Hi --I was wondering if this is a bug when I add new data in my table SSIS Confiurations and give wizard a new Configuration filter the package configuration wizard can not see the new values --the old values from the previous configuration are still showing---is there any known workaround or forced refresh I can do
thanks in advance Dave
Background:
SQL Package Configurations are most important because they provide the possibility of a central configuration store for your entire enterprise!!!!!!!! and is in my mind the only way to go

It seems to me, that the best way is to have one Environment Varible containing the name of the SQL Server, so that you can look up the configuration in the SSIS Configuration Table when you run the package.
Is this the preferable way of doing it ? I would like to hear some positive/negative comment of why chosing a configuration type instead of another.
It seems to me that putting all of the configuration in the Environment variable is harder work but most secure (server breakdown vs table corruption/database error...)
Let's have some comments
I've just started getting this EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) on machines using Windows 2000 sp4 connecting to SQLServer. This is crashing JVMs (multiple Sun versions and BEA also) in the Java VM frame (outside our code). This has just started recently - perhaps with the last set of patches? Has anyone else seen this or know what I could do to get more information? Could this be related to updates to named pipes?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64-bit on a 64-bit instance of Windows 2008 running as Server Core. I read about an issue in KB article 920201, but I don't even get that far. The setup first tries to install .NET Framework 2.0, which fails with error message:
Error 70243 installing .NET Framework 2.0
I tried installing .NET Framework separately, which indicates that I need to install Internet Explorer 5.01. I'm reluctant to try that, so I'd like to know if the people that actually got to the issue in KB920201 installed IE first (is that even possible?).

Hi Guys,
Here's the current scenario:
I am creating a windows application to manage my ssis packages.
My SSIS packages use package configurations, and by default connect to the "SSIS Configurations" table in sql server.
However, I want it to connect to a view instead of this table, so i create a view "vwSSIS_Configurations" and point the package configuration to use the view in sql server.
The application SHOULD be capable of altering the package configuration's configuration and switch its connection between the default "ssis configurations" table, and the view.
Is this possible? I cannot think of a way which I can have my application switch the package configuration's connection.
Thanks,
kervy
I have a Sql7.0 box inside a firewall and Sql6.5 outside the firewall. I would like to use a DTS to transfer data. I followed the KB artice on configuring SQL to listen on a specfic port, but still have problems. I added entries in Client Config on both machines. Still no luck, looks like the 7.0 box not talking on new port...
Any suggestions ????
Hi
I know that "50" = binary.
"54" = ?
help!
I have a question about SQL Server configurations, especially those related to memory.
We are running SQL 6.5 SP5a on a 400 MHz machine with 1GB of RAM.
Our memory setting is 409600 (800 MB), which according to all the documentation that I have read is a conservative figure. The problem I believe is in our settings for Locks and Open Objects. The settings that are in place are Locks=3000000 and Open Objects=500000.
I am not a DBA, I am a developer, but have somehow become part of the DBA team. These settings seem out of proportion with the memory we have. The reason given for 3 million locks, by other members of the team, is that our biggest unit of work is a query that performs a select into of approx. 3 million records. To further compound things, we are getting an out of memory error on the server after only a day of running.
The other members of the team have implemented a start and start of the service to occur at 4 AM every morning, but I am convinced that this is not the appropriate action, but they will not action any configuration changes unless I can prove that it will help the memory problem and not effect the queries.
If anyone has any information or links to information regarding Locks and how they relate to query performance, or at least a sample of what your settings are it would go a long way towards convincing either myself or the rest of the team what direction to go.
Thank you,

Hello,
I have SQL Reporting Services 2005 installed. When I go into the SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager I immediately get an error that says that "No report servers were found on the specified machine" then Details: Invalid Namespace.
The machine that it is running on is our report server. The name in the Machine Name says the name of the report server not the name of the specific machine so maybe this is the problem? I think the name of the report server should go in instance? Problem is that it won't let me change anything and it just gives me that error and everything else on the screen is disabled.
Has anyone experienced this?
Hey guys, got a question regarding hardware configuration for a new SQL server we are installing here. We are migrating from a Windows 2000 standard, SQL 2000 standard box with 4GB of RAM to a Windows 2000 datacenter, SQL 2000 enterprise box with 32GB of RAM.
What would be the best way to set this up in Enterprise Manager? Should I just let SQL Dynamically use the RAM or should I select a fixed amount? Also with the processors, should I allow SQL to use all available processors or just 3 of the processors? Also with such a large amount of RAM, I've read people setting there pagefile to 0 so there is no load on the hard drives.
Let me know what you guys think, thanks!!
We are running SQL 7 on a server, and are moving to a new server and will beupgrading to SQL 2005 at the same time. Currently, both the old and the newservers have two drives, one for programs and one for data.With the current configuration, SQL 7 and the data are both installed on thedata drive, in the MSSQL7 directory. Our sys admin wants to install SQL 2005on the program drive of the new server, while putting our databases on thedata drive. I argue that if SQL itself is on the program drive, then thesystem databases will be in one place, while our databases will be inanother. So I'd prefer to have SQL 2005 installed on the data drive, as itis now.I'm interested in any feedback regarding what you guys think is the betterconfiguration, and also if there's any performance hit from having theprogram and the database on two drives of the same machine.Thanks,Neil
