SQL 2012 :: Configuring Memory Per Query Option And Index Create Memory Option
Feb 10, 2015So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
Maximum Memory Problem
Nov 28, 2007Hello, everyone:
I have SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition running on Windows 2000 Server. There are always memory full alter. I am going to configure that.
I hope a clearation about a concept. In my enviroment, does SQL Server take maximum memroy upto 2GB, no matter if QWE is enabled?
BOL said AWE is available only in the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise and Developer editions. Does it mean AWE cannot be configured on SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition?
Thanks

Setting Maximum Memory
Nov 4, 2007I need to up the Maximum Memory setting.
Out of the box it is set to 2147483647 MB.
I assume this is ~2GB. I have been instructed
to set it to 1GB less than total server memory
which is 16GB. When I change the value
it just changes back.
How do I change it and how are these Megabyte
numbers calculated?

Changing Index Option
May 30, 2007We have a database at work that holds URL's to documents that people must read and sign off on. The problem is when a duplicate URL is entered because the document has been updated the system will not add it to the database because it is a duplicate key. I can tell from looking through the sql files that it is not a primary key so from what I've read I need to turn on IGNORE_DUP_KEY for the index's options. Is there a way I can just open a window and turn this on or do I have to somehow run a script to set it up? If so, could someone explain how to run the script? Thanks

SQL 2005 Server Performance And Maximum Memory Pro
Aug 13, 2007A query was taking 20 seconds and consuming 70% CPU takes only 1 second after setting Maximum Memory property to 2048 MB - why?
Server:
OS Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
Version5.2.3790 Service Pack 1 Build 3790
8 GB memory
Two Dual-core AMD Opteron 285 2.6GHz Processors
Server is not configured for AWE
Fiber channel connection to EMC Clarion - two LUNs - one for MDF, one for LDF
SQL 2005
SQL 2005 32 bit Standard Edition - SP1 (version 9.0.2047)
Three instances installed on server - only one instance in use
Binaries and system databases on local mirrored disk

Address table - 161,075 rows
Client table - 161,634 rows
Quote table - 59,145 rows
With default maximum memory setting (2,147,483,647 MB) - query runs in 20 seconds and consumes over 70 % of the CPU.
After changing maximum memory setting to 2048 MB, query runs in less than 1 second.
Question is:
What is the best practice for setting the minimum and maximum memory settings for SQL 2005?
What can be monitored to identify the cause of these type of issues - using profiler, PerfMon, other tool?

DB Engine :: Set Maximum Server Memory By Using Scripts
Apr 28, 2015How to set maximum server memory by using sql scripts in sql server 2014?
View 5 Replies View RelatedConfigure Max Memory Option
May 23, 2002Hello all,
I have a Production server which has 2gb of memory. SQL server memory is set to configure dynamically.
The Server also has a third party application on it. The third party application was running poorly, and the software vendors recommended running the following sql on a job every hour:-
exec sp_configue 'max server memory(MB)',500
reconfigure
exec sp_configure 'max server memory(MB)'1400
reconfigure
The hourly job has the effect of flushing out sql server memory every hour and setting the max amount down to 500mb and back up to 1400mb. SQL server still manages memory dynamically, so within the hour before the next time the job runs, sql server could use more than 1400mb.
I' feel that this job will degrade sql server performance because it will empty the buffer cache and procedure cache. My approach would be to select the 'use a fixed memory' option and set it to 1400mb, and not use their recommendation.
Does anybody have experience of this, and perhaps explain the consequence of running the recommended job every hour.
Any advice would be great.

Questions About Memory Based Bulk Copy Operation(InsertRow Count,array Insert Directly,set Memory Based Bulk Copy Option)
Feb 15, 2007Hi~, I have 3 questions about memory based bulk copy.
1. What is the limitation count of IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true)?
For example, how much insert row at below sample?(the max value of nCount)
for(i=0 ; i<nCount ; i++)
{
pIFastLoad->InsertRow(hAccessor, (void*)(&BulkData));
}
2. In above code sample, isn't there method of inserting prepared array at once directly(BulkData array, not for loop)
3. In OLE DB memory based bulk copy, what is the equivalent of below's T-SQL bulk copy option ?
BULK INSERT database_name.schema_name.table_name FROM 'data_file' WITH (ROWS_PER_BATCH = rows_per_batch, TABLOCK);
-------------------------------------------------------
My solution is like this. Is it correct?
// CoCreateInstance(...);
// Data source
// Create session
m_TableID.uName.pwszName = m_wszTableName;
m_TableID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;
DBPROP rgProps[1];
DBPROPSET PropSet[1];
rgProps[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
rgProps[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
rgProps[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
rgProps[0].dwPropertyID = SSPROP_FASTLOADOPTIONS;
rgProps[0].vValue.bstrVal = L"ROWS_PER_BATCH = 10000,TABLOCK";
PropSet[0].rgProperties = rgProps;
PropSet[0].cProperties = 1;
PropSet[0].guidPropertySet = DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERROWSET;
if(m_pIOpenRowset)
{

Extreme Paging Rate Reduced By Setting Maximum Server Memory To 6 Gig?
Dec 3, 2007We have several 2005 servers with "Maximum server memory" set to 214 gig, which I believe is the default at installation time. I am told that this means "use all the memory there is including paging." Well, this is nuts but the servers seem to work fine with this setting no matter how much physical memory they have.
One of our 2005 servers recently started paging like crazy, so I reduced "Maximum server memory" to 6000 and the paging disappeared (server has 8 gig of physical memory) and the server appears happy.
I can not explain why only this one server has this paging issue and the others do not. Should I be setting "Maximum server memory" on all my servers? Are there other considerations which might cause the server to eat-up all the memory? As far as I know no other applications run on this box.
Thanks,
Michael
Lock Pages In Memory Option On SQL 2005 STD 64-bit With W2K3 R2 Standard 64-bit - Does It Work?
Nov 9, 2007 Hey Folks -
I'm setting up a new production SQL 2005 64-bit server running on a dedicated Windows 2003 R2 Standard system w/8GB of RAM.
I've enabled the "Lock Pages in Memory" option (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190730.aspx) but when I run dbcc memorystatus all of my AWE counters show 0.
According to http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlprogrammability/:
"On 64 bit machines, execute 'dbcc memorystatus'. If the AWE Allocated memory is 0 then lock pages in memory privilege has not been granted to the service account or it has not taken effect. "
Does the "Lock Pages in Memory" option work on W2K3 R2 Standard? Just searching across the web I find different answers. In some places it clearly says that Lock Pages in Memory only works on W2K3 Enterprise systems. In other places it says that it should work on any Windows 2003 64-bit OS.
Does anyone have any ideas? Assuming we cannot "lock pages in memory" due to the Windows 2003 Standard OS, are there any other memory management recommendations out there?
thanks!

Changing The DataType Of A Coluumn In An In-Memory Dataset
Apr 11, 2005Here is the issue. I have ReadOnly Access to a database. All of the Columns are set to NVARCHAR(1000) by default. I cannot change them. I want to load the DataSet into memory and change the DataType of the columns from NVARCHAR(1000) to INT(4). The data is in integer (i.e. 4,5,123) format (but stored as a string), but is coming across as strings. The charting software I am using won't implicitly convert these Strings to Int or Double. How can I change an entire column to Int?

AWE/Lock Page In Memory Drawbacks? Min/Max Settings, Memory Issues
Oct 11, 2007I've been researching AWE to determine if we should enable this for our environment.
Currently we have a quad core box with 4 gb of RAM (VMware). OS: Windows 2003 std, SQL Server 2005 std. 3GB is not set but will be as soon as we can perform maintenance on the server.
I have read mixed feedback on AWE, either it works great or grinds you to a hault. I would assume that the grinding to a hault is due to not setting the min/max values correctly or not enabling the lock page in memory setting.
We only have one instance of SQL on the server and this box won't be used for anything else aside from hosting SQL services. We do plan on running SSRS off of this server as well.
1. Will running SSRS and enabling AWE cause me problems? Will I have to reduce the max setting by the SSRS memory usage or will it share and play nice?
2. How do I go about setting the Max value? Should it be less than the physical RAM in the box? Right now its set to the default of 214748364, even if I don't enable AWE should this default value be changed?
3. It seems that even at idle the SQL server holds a lot of memory and the page file grows. If I restart the process in the morning, memory usage in taskmon is at 600mb or so. By the end of the day, its up around 2gb. How can I track down whats causing this, should this even concern me?
4. The lock Page in memory setting worries me. Everything I've read on this seems to give a warning about serious OS and other program support degradation. In some cases to the point where they have to restore the settings on the server before they can bring it back up. What are your thoughts on this.

View 10 Replies View RelatedWould Max Memory Including SSIS And SSAS Memory
Mar 27, 2008Hello, I understand that we should use SSMS -> Server Properties -> Memory to put a cap on the SQL server memory usage, therefore it gives some space memory for OS, this is based on the fact if the max memory is not specified, SQL will use whatever available memory and eventually crash the system.
My question is that when a server has SSIS and SSAS services installed along with the SQL service. Would the max memory setting covers the SSIS and SSAS memory usage, or the SSIS and SSAS has to shared the memory with OS?

Memory Issues, SSIS Package Out Of Memory Help

Until finally i get an Out of Memory exception. I have run this package using dtexec, and in the BIDS. No difference. I do have some script components and have added some code to get the assemblies in the current appdomain. I do see that one particular assembly is increasing on every loop. VBAssembly every time it hits the script component is increasing by 6, and along with it the memory is climbing. What is this VBAssembly being used for is there an update to SQL Server Integration Services that I need?

Sql Server 2000 Using Less Memory After More Memory Added
Aug 22, 2007sql server 2000 is running on windows server 2003 ... 4gb of memory on server .... 2003 was allocated 2.3gb nd sql server was allocated (and using all of it) 1.6gb for total of approx 4gb based on idera monitor software ... all memory allocated betweeen the OS and sql server .... then 4 more gb of memory added for total now of 8g ... now idera monitor shows 1.7gb for OS and 1.0 gb for sql server ..... 'system' info shows 8gb memory with PAE ... so I assume that the full 8gb can now be addressed .... why are less resources being used now with more total memory .... especially sql server ..... i thought about specifying a minimum memmry for sql server but i amnot convinced that would even work since it seems that this 1gb limit is artificial .... it it used 1.6 gb before why would it not use at least that much now ??
thank you
