hi
I want to ask the method to calculate the memory in the configuration in SQL6.5.
If I have 256MB memory installed in the server, how many memory needed in the configuration of SQL6.5.
I am looking for recommandations regarding the memory distribution for SQL 2000 server. In the memory tab of the server properties you can define use a fixed memory size or dynamically configure SQL server or even reserve physical memory for SQL server.
Are there any hints available or must it be handled according trial and error?
Thanks for any info

Can someone tell me if this sounds OK?:
NT4 SP5 running SQL6.5
Physical Memory - 512mb
Virtual Memory - 1024mb
Allocated to SQL - 256mb
The largest database is 7gb and tempdb (in ram) is 150mb
Do as a rough guide these figures seem OK?
hi, here is the situation, my system has the following specks
hard drive = 45GB
memory = 1152 mb
Opsystem = win NT 4.0
application on the NT is ftp server and SQL server 6.5
I am having a tough time retrieving a simple query from a 11 million records.some of the feed back from the newsgroup is that I do not have enought memory. Is there a formula to use to figure out how much memory should allocate to the sql server? what if I allocated too much memory, does that affect the sql performance in a negative way?
Please help......
I can be reach at a.alhussein@mci.com
thanks alot

Hello,
So we have a clustered environment on Windows 2003.
We have 12GB ram, and are running with /3GB and /PAE.
We do not currently have AWE enabled.
SQL is currently using 2.799GB
This leaves only 200MB or so free for my COM+ component, and if/when it raises to that level, application users get 'Out of Memory' error.
How can we get these two products to share memory better, and more importantly utilize more of the free memory on the system.
Should we have AWE enabled? Are there any negatives to this? If AWE is enabled and SQL Uses say 6GB, Will the COM+ application have 0 available?
We are just finishing our migration to SQL 2012. In our old environment, the instance which held our SharePoint databases also served other applications. We did not experience any performance related issues in the past due to this.
SharePoint basically requires MAXDOP to be 1, which is correct on the old server. Since this configuration may not be ideal for other applications that may be put within our environment, we our entertaining the idea of isolating SharePoint into its own instance, probably on the same box.
My manager wants me to come up with performance trace data to better prove that we need to go this route since we apparently have had issues in the past by blindly following Microsoft's best practices.
1.MAXDOP configuration - I understand this may be a 2 pronged approach that would require looking at various execution plans and CPU related counters in Perfmon. SharePoint likely requires a maxdop of 1 due to the nature of the application (lots of concurrent processes). What is the best way to show this need graphically?
2. Memory configuration for multiple instances - Does the Total Server Memory reveal all the memory that a given SQL instance is utilizing? Should I use this counter to identify appropriate min/max memory configurations for multiple instances on a single cluster?
The problem with the perfmon approach is that it's scope is limited to just the server. Since our SharePoint environment is currently being shared with other applications, I understand that I may have to utilize DMV statistics to narrow down my analysis.
The database devices was showing a negative number size, so i expanded the database which has cleared this problem, however, now when users try to input a form(each form is allocated a unique reference number) for this database the reference number has reset and is starting off at 1 instead of following on from the previous form number before this problem occurred.

when I installed SQL6.5 on a server with Win2000 I received a message saying that SQL6.5 could "not be installed on this version of Windows."
Can someone please tell me what the story is here.

I created a DTS task to transfer data from a SQL7.0 table to a SQL6.5 table. This trasfer is really slow.
The transfer the other way is amazingly fast.
Any ideas ??
Thank you in advance.
Can my Access 97 db's connect to both a SQL 6.5 and 7.0 without a problem.
has anybody tried this?
Hi all :
Does the upgrade wizard in 7.0 help me upgrade ALL the database objects in SQL 6.5 (including stored procedures, triggers) to 7.0? Has anyone encountered any problems?

I am attempting to connect to my SQL 6.5 Server through IPX. We currently have a WindowsNT network setup with a Novell Server v3.12 running as a file and login server. When I setup IPX/SPX as a network protocal to use, and then set it in the client configuration , I get a specific error.
"Cannot Connect To SQL Server : Login Failed"
Maybe I am missing a step in my setup somewhere. Has anyone encountered this with using IPX? It connects perfectly using named pipes, but only see this error when I try to use IPX. All help is appreciated. Thank You.

Can SQL6.5 and SQL7.0 live on the same NT4.0 server?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just started as a junior dba and I'm monitoring a SQL6.5 database and I need some help with a certain issue, as to what I should be looking for.
Recently, the program we use to retrieve data from the database has been freezing up on everyone. What I did was just kill some user's processes from Enterprise Manager which seems to work. But we never had this problem before. And since everyone has been closing their programs prematurely, the error log contains many errors like this:
Error: 1608, Severity: 21, State: 2
A network error was encountered while sending data to the front end.
Error: 17824, Severity: 10, State: 0
Unable to write to ListenOn Connection pipesqlquery.....
We have a dedicated server for this database and there's about 20 requests to the database at any given time.
If anybody can tell me what to do, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Does anyone know of any issues that need to be considered when installing NT sp4.
Since doing so we are getting unexpected database behaviour
thanks in advance
Can you restore a SQL6.5 backup to a Sql2000sp3 ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi all
I would like to know - we are currently running SQL6.0 on NT4 servers. We have 2 x 3rd party programs that runs on the servers, making use of the databases. We don't forsee any changes in the near future.
Question: will it be wise to upgrade to SQL7 anyways, or can we keep the status quo as is ???

I installed SQL 7 on a new computer and imported DB from another SQL 6.5.
Tables were imported but index and SPs were not.
I had to script those objects and run it on SQL 7.
Any shortcut to import all objects directly?
Again I was importing not upgrading.
Hi all,
I receive the following error message every time I run this script:
INSERT INTO archive_temp (mrn, folder, name)
SELECT a.mrn, a.encounter, a.name
FROM his..active a, cabinet..cabinet c
WHERE imnet like 'images3%'
ORDER BY a.mrn, a.encounter
GO
After 10 minutes I get this ERROR MESSG: Can't allocate space for object
'-1443' in database 'tempdb' b/c the 'system' segment is full. If you
ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise use
'Alter database" or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of segment.
So far, i've updated the tempdb log segment from 100 mb to 500 mb
shared with data. I don't understand why I am still getting this error.
When I look at Performance Monitor, the log for tempdb is not peaked at
all!
can anyone help?
Thanks

I need to transfer databases from one server to the other.
(They are identical sort order/char set/...) but as I did
all passwords were set to NULL....How can I use the
generated scripts to transfer without losing them ?
(Have about 300 users...) Thank you for your help !!
I Completely new to SQL, can anyone give me a URL to find this information.?
Thanks
Can it be done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi!
I just have one short question.
Is there a way to change the sort order in SQL 6.5 short of re-installing
the whole database?
If there is, how do I go about it?
TIA

i've a sql server 6 and sql server 7 located in 2 different domain.
how could i migrate the database from my sql 6 to sql 7?
I`m planning on installing sql7 beta on my desktop. Currently I have sql6.5 client tools installed on my desktop for performing DBA tasks against our test and prod. sql6.5 servers. Does anyone know if installing sql7 will conflict with my sql6.5 client tools or cause any other problems?
Thanks
In SQL 6.5, you could Transfer (through a menu item in Enterprise Mgr) all or parts of a database to another server. It was the perfect 'copy' mechanism. What happened to it?
Thanks,

Hi
Is it possible to add jobs into the SQL schedule by means of a SQL script. We have 1000 remote servers to update and don't really want to do it manually.
Any help appreciated.

I have heard that there are potential problems if you put service pack for NT on your server, in that it conflicts with SQL 6.5. Does anyone know of
any such problems with either running 6.5 under these conditions or installing 6.5 if the service pack is already on the server.
Thanks
Has any every had a problem with the probe login / SQL Perfmon processes not clearing out and maxing out users
connections? Microsoft has recommended I rename the sqlctr60.dll to sqlctr60.old. This causes my application
event log to fill up after about 10 min because it is trying to make a connection. They say this is a problem
running on a compaq server. I am running NT 4.0 sp 4, SQL6.5 sp5a. Any ideas?
Thanks
