Is there any easy way to detect SQL Server memory is getting paged out? Any DMV query or tips to confirm it is paging out.
My SQL Server Version is: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5500.0 (X64)
Hi,
Anyone knows what the size should the Paging File be for a 8 P 16 Core Opteron server with 128GB memory installed? The server will be running SQL 05 Ent and IIS, on top of Win2k3 R2 x64 Ent.
Please also give the reason for that size.

I am monitoring our production server, and noticed that periodically we have spikes of Memory Paging Rate (pages/sec).
How to find particular queries/stored procedures that causing this?
We 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
Our monitoring tool shows that our production system periodically experiencing large rate - up to 800 memory pages/sec. How to find out which particular queries, S.P., processes that initiate this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a new set up on VM to run an application running 24*7 (migrated from SQL server 2008R2) with below configs:
1. OS- Windows server 2012 Standard 64 bit hosted on Virtual Machine
2. Memory 16 GB and Cores =4 with 2.4GhZ processor
3. SQL server 2012 SP2 , 64 bit Standard edition.
4. Total size of databases as of now 15 GB with biggest being 5 GB.
How should i go around in setting the MAX and MIN server memory settings. I have this set up for many of SQL 2005 and 2008R2 servers, but for 2012 i heard that things has slightly changed.
How should i start analyzing and setting the right value of this MAX and MIN?
This morning msmdsrv.exe looked like the following in Task Manager:
Memory Usage: 600,000 K
VM Size: 2,500,000 K
If I understand correctly, that means that a good deal of SSAS memory has been swapped to disk by the OS. Is there any way to prevent this? (I have read about using the Lock Pages In Memory privilege at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179301.aspx which lets SQL prevent the OS from paging sqlservr.exe memory. I don't suppose there's an equivalent SSAS setting.)
In particular, the symptom I'm seeing is that after we finish processing, all that paged memory has to be loaded back into memory before the transaction can be committed. Committing the transaction is usually very quick. But when most of the SSAS process memory is pages, it takes quite a while, during which I can see the Memory Usage number in Task Manager growing. (I don't think it's a blocked transaction commit.)
Are there any *negative* consequences to SQL Server 2000 Standardpaging to disk more often if one reduces the amount of available RAMfrom 2.0 GB to 1.5 GB to give the OS and other apps enough RAM, otherthan things possibly being "slower" and whatever wear and tear couldhappen to the disk drives??Or is it better to add in more RAM per se to bring the server up to 4GB (Win2k3 Svr SP1)?? (it has a 4GB pagefile)Is any information available about judging how much RAM the OS (Windows2003 Server) should have available?? Does IIS require a lot of RAM??Thank you, Tom
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently, we have the following setup...
SQL 2005 Std, 8gb ram, boot ini switches for /PAE and /3GB, AWE enabled and the min/max memory settings for a single instance respectively set to 1024 and 7168. Performance-wise the system is a bit slower than before (with SQL2000) and there seems to be alot of paging. The SQL service is also running under the "LocalSystem". In this case, do I need to specify the local "SYSTEM" to have rights to "Lock pages in memory"? I have a feeling there is a misconfiguration somewhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
On first Node A: The server has 16 GB of physical RAM.
On second Node B: The server has 10 GB of physical RAM.
Now, this being Active Active, Node A can be clustered on failure onto Node B..Now reporting server is configured under these two nodes, with defined MAX and MIN server memory of 12 as MAX and 0 is min IN GB.Now with this setting on SQL whenever the cluster moves, such config make OS goes low on node for 10 GB.I am only left with option of switching this MAX and MIN to a default setting or is there any other alternative such as script which can change this setting accordingly when cluster moves to respective server.
I am searching for query to find total memory allocated to sqlserver, and how much being used utilized as well cpu utilization percentage .

View 4 Replies View RelatedSummary: We host reports off of one server that are accessed and refreshed 24/7/365. On a daily basis, I receive calls about reports taking several minutes to run IF they run at all. (normally these reports take seconds). There has yet to be an actual "error message" associated with this behavior. When I check the server at these times, I will find that w3wp.exe process is taking up about 4G and is causing paging. It seems that once it gets to that point, it will kill itself and all goes back to normal. However, it's a slow death and is impacting business.
We're using MSRS 2005. Hosting the reports is the job of this server--no other applications are hitting it. There is a development SQL db on the box, but not in use at this time. The datasources in most cases are stored procedures housed on another box. The web interface (for end users running the report) is hosted on a third server.
Any thoughts?
How to accurately track how much memory was granted to a DBCC checkdb during it's execution?
I'd like to do this without continuously querying dm_exec_query_memory_grants, if at all possible - but if that's the only option.
Is it available by default or it has to be Configured.
If yes then how to configure Tempdb in Memory for SQL 2012 SP2 CU1?
We have Windows Server 2008R2 installed on VM Server.On that we have three SQL instances running. From few past months we are observing physical memory is going high. Earlier we observed it was at 86-88%, now it is 96-97%.We have 16RAM & 8 CPU cores on VM. what is the best and ideal configuration so that we can rectify the high physical memory issue.

SQL Server was unable to run a new system task, either because there is insufficient memory or the number of configured sessions exceeds the maximum allowed in the server. Verify that the server has adequate memory. Use sp_configure with option 'user connections' to check the maximum number of user connections allowed. Use sys.dm_exec_sessions to check the current number of sessions, including user processes.
Now, on the instance I have activated maximum servere memory, my question; Is it possible to adjust this setting without starting the service?
Some parameter for example?
The server itself have enough memory.
If I create a memory table inside a while loop, I expect that every loop the memory table is (newly) created and thus empty.
But when I test this, I see that on the second, third, ... run the inserted data in the memory table is still present and not cleared.
This can be reproduces with the following code:
DECLARE @tbl TABLE
( [id] BIGINT )
DECLARE @tbl2 TABLE
( [value] BIGINT )
INSERT INTO @tbl
VALUES (1), (2)
[Code] ....
/*
Expectation: twice 11 and 12 in @tbl2
Actual result: three times 11 and 12
*/
SELECT *
FROM @tbl2
Is this a wrong assumption or is this a bug in SQL Server? (Tested on: SQL Server 2014 and 2008).

Assume table index may have primary key index as well.

3. In memory is lock free zone. usually locks will happpen in RDMS context . how this works without locks.

System is having 4GB RAM and SQL is using most of it. It has 2 processors.
In SQL Server 2014, how big for the block size is better for performance? 64 KB? 4 KB?
For normal database files, best practise is 64 KB disk block size. Not sure if it is same for memory-optimized filegroup.
Hi
I did a load testing and found the following observations:
1. The Memory:Pages/sec was crossing the limit beyond 20.
2. The Target Server Memory was always greater than Total Server Memory
Seeing the above data it seems to be memory pressure. But I found that AvailableMemory was always above 200 MB. Also Buffer Cache HitRatio was close to 99.99. What could be the reason for the above behavior?
sql 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
Hiii all
SQL Server 2000 or 2005 dose not support the LIMIT statement like mySQL. So plz can anyone tell me tht how to do paging in SQL Server?? Without using CLR Integration...
Since Row_Number() is not available to SQL Server 2005 CE, are there any other alternatives for paging when querying the database?
Thanks.
Is it necessary (or perhaps just beneficial, if not necessary) to create a paging file on the drive where SQL Server is installed along with the paging file on the OS drive. For example, Windows NT 4 is installed on the C drive, and SQL Server is installed on the D drive. Should I have a paging file on both drives. Someone mentioned to me that you should have a paging file for both drives, but I had never heard of that before.

suppose from my code behind i will pass my sql query to sql server store procedure and i want that scriptwill be written in such a way that my store procedure will execute my query and populate cursor and then cursor will be return from my store procedure to code behind.so i want to know is it possible in sql server if so pls give me a sample sql server store procedure code.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using derived tables to Page data on the SQL Server side.I used this link as my mentor for doing paging on the SQLServerhttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms979197.aspxI wanted to use USER PAGING, thus I used the following code:CREATE PROCEDURE UserPaging(@currentPage int = 1, @pageSize int =1000)ASDECLARE @Out int, @rowsToRetrieve int, @SQLSTRING nvarchar(1000)SET @rowsToRetrieve = (@pageSize * @currentPage)SET NOCOUNT ONSET @SQLSTRING = N'selectCustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle from( SELECT TOP '+ CAST(@pageSize as varchar(10)) +'CustomerId,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle from( SELECT TOP ' + CAST(@rowsToRetrieve as varchar(10)) +'CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle FROM( SELECT TOP ' + CAST(@rowsToRetrieve as varchar(10)) +'CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle FROM Customers as T1ORDER BY contactname) AS T2 ORDER BY contactname DESC ) AS T3)As T4 ORDER BY contactname ASC'EXEC(@SQLSTRING)RETURNGOWhen I use this. Assume that the Total records returned by the SQLquery is 1198.Thus when I am on Page1 the above Stored Proc (SP) willreturn the first 1000 records.This works absolutely fine.Now I am on Page2, now I need to retrieve only the remaining 198records.But if I use the above SP, it will return the last 1000records.So to tweak this I used the following logic to set the@pagesize variable:Declare @PageCount intselect @PageCount = @TotalRows/@PageSizeif @currentPage @PageCount SET @PageSize = @TotalRows%@PageSizeSince I am on Page2 the above logic will set the PageSize to 198 andnot 1000.But when I use this logic, it takes forever for the SP toreturn the 198 records in a resultset.However if the TotalRows were = 1800, and thus the PageSize=800 orgreater, this SP returns the resultset quickly enough.Thus to get over this problem I had to use the other logic i.e. usingApplication Paging (i.e. first storing the entire result set into aTemp table, then retrieving only the required records for the PAGE)Can anyone suggest what is wrong with my user paging logic?????TIA...

I have a webpage that displays 4000 or more records in a GridView control powered by a SqlDataSource. It's very slow. I'm reading the following article on custom paging: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/031506-1.aspx. This article uses an ObjectDataSource, and some functionality new to Sql Server 2005 to implement custom paging.There is a stored procedure called GetEmployeesSubestByDepartmentIDSorted that looks like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetEmployeesSubsetByDepartmentIDSorted( @DepartmentID int, @sortExpression nvarchar(50), @startRowIndex int, @maximumRows int)AS IF @DepartmentID IS NULL -- If @DepartmentID is null, then we want to get all employees EXEC dbo.GetEmployeesSubsetSorted @sortExpression, @startRowIndex, @maximumRows ELSE BEGIN -- Otherwise we want to get just those employees in the specified department IF LEN(@sortExpression) = 0 SET @sortExpression = 'EmployeeID' -- Since @startRowIndex is zero-based in the data Web control, but one-based w/ROW_NUMBER(), increment SET @startRowIndex = @startRowIndex + 1 -- Issue query DECLARE @sql nvarchar(4000) SET @sql = 'SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, DepartmentID, Salary, HireDate, DepartmentName FROM (SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, e.DepartmentID, Salary, HireDate, d.Name as DepartmentName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ' + @sortExpression + ') as RowNum FROM Employees e INNER JOIN Departments d ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID WHERE e.DepartmentID = ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @DepartmentID) + ' ) as EmpInfo WHERE RowNum BETWEEN ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @startRowIndex) + ' AND (' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @startRowIndex) + ' + ' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @maximumRows) + ') - 1' -- Execute the SQL query EXEC sp_executesql @sql ENDThe part that's bold is the part I don't understand. Can someone shed some light on this for me? What is this doing and why?Diane
