Determining The Server Memory Required For SQL Ser
Nov 11, 2007
Hi everybody,
I am trying to determine the optimum amount of server memory that would be required for my SQL Server application. According to a book, it is calculated as follows:
Minimum memory required = System memory + User memory + Database process memory
I have thought about ways to determine each component of memory.
1) I could determine the System memory utilized from the Task manager (Total - Available), when the SQL Server service has been started, and no applications are running.
2) I could determine User memory by ascertaining the number of concurrent users during peak usage time of the application and then multiplying it with 0.5 MB.
3) I could determine Database process memory by summing up the "memusage" column in the SysProcesses table, at the time of
peak usage and multiplying it with 8.
Please let me know whether they are correct.

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.

If I add more than 3 nested tables the model appears to hang. Is this due to insufficient memory? How much memory is recomended? When the model build is stopped it appears to lock other models in the project - how can they be unlocked without rebuilding the whole project?
I woul appreciate any help as I am new to Data Mining
Thank you

Is there a quick and easy way to figure out if a server is 64 bit or 32 bit? I have been looking and cannot figure out an easy way. If there is a script that will figure it out could you please tell me. I am a DBA and manage over 100 servers and need a fast and easy way to figure this out. I need to know this to pick the correct upgrade version.

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?

I have a report that I want to render in different languages. Easy enough. However, the way I want it to work is for the user to go to a particular URL, and depending on whether the URL is, say, .fr for France, or .uk for the UK, it will recognize the URL and render the report in the correct language.The problem is, in testing, I've been trying to use the global &ReportServerURL but it does not seem to work.
Do I take it, then, when I put the report live, it will not recognize the URL that appears in the browser, and so won't be able to tell whether the URL is .fr or .uk and so forth?

Is there a system table column to query to determine whether an index is defined as unique in SQL Server 2000? It is easy to find this info in SQL Server 2005, but I don't see a valid column for this on dbo.sysindexes.

Any good starting point to understand for a specific db, how many max VLFs are good to have so that it does not cause long startup or backup times?
Also, I need some calculation so that I can identify a best growth parameter I will setup for each database ?
I'm seeing the below msg in errorlog and curious to know the changes (right sizing/growth) to be done? As of now 100 MB of log file growth value is set (refer: [URL] ....)
Database BizTalkMsgBoxDb has more than 1000 virtual log files which is excessive. Too many virtual log files can cause long startup and backup times. Consider shrinking the log and using a different growth increment to reduce the number of virtual log files.

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

Hi!
I have developed a database in MS SQL Server 2005 Express, to which I would require only bulkadmin server role from an external java application, because I only need to update rows, insert values or use select queries in the database.
The problem is that, using either the Microsoft JDBC Driver 1.1 or the Java JDBC ODBC Driver and the Windows XP Data Base (ODBC) configurations, I need a user with sysadmin server role inside Sql Server, otherwise JDBC won't connect to the database using the selected user. Even if I leave the sql login with setupadmin or any server role lower than sysadmin, the connection is refused.
Is there no way to connect using JDBC to MS Sql Server 2005 other than granting the connected user sysadmin rights? My code looks as follows:
Code Snippet
String driver = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver";
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://FIREBLADE\SQLEXPRESS";
String user = "username";
String password = "password$$";
Connection conn;
Class.forName(driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);
if (conn != null)
System.out.println("SQL Server Connection established ...");
I have heard that Java JDBC connections to Microsoft require high-level access.
Any informed answer is more than welcome. Thanks for reading my post!

My web project (ASP.NET 2.0 / C#) runs against sql server 2000 and uses the System.Data.SqlClient.using System.Data.SqlClient;
I use System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection and System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand to make the connections to the database and do selects and updates. Is it correct to continue to use these against SQL Server 2005? I ask because I made a connection string (outside of .Net) for SqlServer 2005 using the SQL native provider and it had the following - Provider=SQLNCLI.1 and any connection strings I had made (also outside of ASP.NET) fro SQL Server all used Provider=SQLOLEDB.1. This is why I wondered if there is a different SqlClient in .Net 2.0 for SQL Server 2005?
Cheers

If I develop my app in SQL Server 2005 Express, and then want to use a hosting service that only offers full SQL Server 2005, do I have to do some kind of conversion to my DB file, and if so, what might that be? (I notice that there are hosting services that provide SQL Server Express...I'd like to know how much work it would be to be able to use other services.)
Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

On one of our servers the sqlseragent was running fine. But now it is not running. We se the option to start the server agent each time the OS starts. Even when I tried to start the agent manually from service manager it is not starting. Would any one help on this urgently.
Also how can we identify under what account any job runs. The reason is when we deleted some NT user accounts one of the job failed as this job runs under that userid. But in the properties it shows that sa is the owner of that job. What is best way to create a job so that these jobs run under one userid so that it won't fail when we delete users.
Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to get results in one row from the following function but all records does not come from the following function.
I have 9 records of the same empid but results not showing all records. Can anybody help me to get all records with the fields and table which I am using.
My table is beneficiary and fields are empid int, fname char(40), benefittype char(4) and benefitpercentage .
Following function is working but problem is not getting all results in one row, as described below.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetBenefString5
(
@Empid INT
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ret VARCHAR(8000)
SELECT @ret = ''
SELECT
@ret = @ret + CASE WHEN LEN(@ret) > 0 THEN ',' ELSE '' END + FName + ' ' + Benefittype + ' ' + BenefitPercentage
From Beneficiary
Where Empid = @Empid
RETURN @ret
END
SELECT
Empid,
dbo.GetBenefString5(Empid)
FROM pf25eaton_work.dbo.eaton_chr_benef_05052008
where EmployeeNumber='4500498'
GROUP BY Empid
Result from the above function query:
Empid ----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1773 CHARLENE OLIF 33 ,CHARLENE EADD 33 ,CHARLENE ELIF 33 ,TIMOTHY EADD 33 ,TIMOTHY
(
Records are in the table: (But I have many records like that so definitely I will need counter/function etc to get these data.
FName Benefittype BenefitPercentage
---------------------------------------- ----------- -----------------
CHARLENE OLIF 33
CHARLENE EADD 33
CHARLENE ELIF 33
TIMOTHY EADD 33
TIMOTHY ELIF 33

TIMOTHY OLIF 33
BRADLEY OLIF 33
BRADLEY EADD 33
Desired Result in one row:
Charlene OLIF 33, Charlene EADD 33, Charlene ELIF 33, TIMOTHY OLIF 33, TIMOTHY EADD 33, TIMOTHY ELIF 33, BRADLEY OLIF 33, BRADLEY EADD 33, BRADLEY ELIF 33

Hi Guys
I am in need of some assistance please.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and C#(winforms).
For example if I have a winform with a textbox and search button. If I type in ABCD1234. I won't know what the data is coming into the X Table. So there will be hundreds of description data in the description field in X table.
So in the X Table, there are ABCD1234,ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
But I will only pick this 'ABCD1234' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same description. It needs to pick also ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
If also type in 5678, in another column like code in X Table. It would have 005678,05678,56780. But I will only pick this '5678' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same code.
It needs to pick also 005678,05678,56780
I have tried LIKE, FREETEXT and CONTAINS.
But another idea is a table of alternate descriptions for those that you know about and look those up and search for them all. But how can that be done?
Any ideas guys please? with examples if possible.
Thanks Newbie.....

I thought it was but I just now installed it on a box without IIS. I gather IIS is not a requried component. I noticed only Reporting Services Requires it so I am hoping that installing IIS and then add Reporting Services Component later will not cause configuration problems.

I am looking to test this feature - and the "Transaction Performance Collector" has recommended me a table to port to In-Memory OLTP.
I have now tried the "Table Memory Optimization Advisor" tool.
After a couple of tweaks to the table design - the tool is now passing validation but the tool is not allowing to progress to the next step:
Could it be down to not having enough memory? But would this not show in the advisor?

Please help me in sorting out my Problem Providing me the solution .
My Problem is
I have a master table with Primary key on ID field (PatientID-(Patient-Table)) and it is an Identity field
And My child table has the same ID field(PatientID-(PatientDetails-Table)) and it has the relationship set
And the child table has its own Primary key of its own ID field(PatientdetailsID).
What I want is as soon as enter row of data into the master table (Patient-Table)and click save on my front end application(Which is ASP.Net web application)
I want to update Child Table’S (PatientDetails)ID field ( ie.,PaientID in the PatientDetailsTable) in the Child Table which relates the parent table ,by doing so I want to update the Primary key field (ie.,PatientDetailsID) & ForeignKey Field (PatientID)of the child table and to create row in the child table with two columns .(PatientID,&PatientDetailsID)
What I want to achieve is in my ASP.net Application as soon as I enter Master table
I want to Edit Child tables (about 15) one by one like a Wizard pages which will have The ID Field(PatientID) same in all my wizard pages .
I want to know whether I can incorporate triggers if so in which table (is it in Patient or PatientDetails) and I will be grateful If anyone gives the Script to-do so.I am also providing my two table sripts.
Sripts:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Patient]( [PatientID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Date] [smalldatetime] NULL, [UserID] [int] NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](40) NOT NULL, [Surname] [varchar](30) NOT NULL, [DOB] [datetime] NULL, [Age] AS (floor(datediff(day,[DOB],getdate())/(365.25))), [Sex] [varchar](10) NULL, [Occupation] [varchar](30) NULL, [Ethinicity] [varchar](60) NULL, [HomeTel] [varchar](15) NULL, [Mobile] [varchar](15) NULL, [varchar](40) NULL, [AddressLine1] [varchar](30) NULL, [Line2] [varchar](30) NULL, [Line3] [varchar](30) NULL, [City] [varchar](20) NULL, [PostCode] [varchar](15) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Patient] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [PatientID] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY] GOSET ANSI_PADDING OFFGOALTER TABLE [dbo].[Patient] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Patient_User] FOREIGN KEY([UserID])REFERENCES [dbo].[User] ([UserID])GOALTER TABLE [dbo].[Patient] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Patient_User] CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PatientDetails]( [PatientID] [int] NOT NULL, [PatientDetID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Date] [smalldatetime] NULL, [NHSNumber] [varchar](12) NULL, [HospitalRefID] [varchar](10) NULL, [Ovaries] [varchar](15) NULL, [ReportFromGP] [image] NULL, [LMP] [datetime] NULL, [DateStopped] [datetime] NULL, [Comment] [varchar](150) NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_PatientDetails_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [PatientDetID] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY] GOSET ANSI_PADDING OFFGOALTER TABLE [dbo].[PatientDetails] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_PatientDetails_Patient] FOREIGN KEY([PatientID])REFERENCES [dbo].[Patient] ([PatientID])GOALTER TABLE [dbo].[PatientDetails] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_PatientDetails_Patient]
I want to incorporate this through database level .
I am using SQL Server2005-Express
Although Iam using ASP.net C# I am new and I will not be able to do this in my front end.

hi all,
our company is using SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition as a backend for inventory and sales data storage.
The top management of our company has decided to web enable all the data for sales and inventory so that any authorized user can have access to the data from anywhere in the world.
now my question is that how many SQL Server licenses will we require if we are going to use it for the web?
We currently hold 20 licenses.
Thanx in advance.

Hi Friends,
I was in the phase of switching over to Sql Server Reporting from the normal reports. I plan to go with the SQL server 2005 standard version. Do i need visual studio 2005 to design and deploy report. If I am using only SQL server standard alone for my reporting and publishing, is it possible to assign the user rights to reports, user can just login and can view all the reports that belongs to that user. Since I wont be using the visual Studio 2005, so I want to implement this using the SQL server 2005. So pls help me with your kind information how to proceed ahead.
Thanks,
Sreekoo.

I'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.
