We're trying to work out why the same SQL Script takes much longer to run within the Enterprise environment compared to the Development?
What makes matters worse is the development version is on a standard desktop (P4 1.8 256MB RAM) compared to the Enterprise version which sits on a dual Xeon with 1Gig of RAM.
Is is related to the SQL product or am I missing something here? :confused:

I installed the SQL Server 2k EnterPrise version and developer version on the same version, and the developer version is an instance "Development".
How do I expose both of them to internet? Just open both of them to port 1433? And on the client side, just say IP and IP/Development? Do I need specific set up, will they conflict?
Thanks,
Hi to all,I've recently installed SQL Server 2000 on Dell Power Edge 1600sc withdual processor (2.8ghz) and 1 gig of ram, to use a CRM application(Maximizer Enterprise 8.0)and since we make the install every time auser is trying to access data it take about 5 to 10 second to see therequested data. The performance of the SQL server less than thepervise version of Maximizer.I've made a typical install of SQL server 2000 and SP3.Analysis Services as been installed too.I've seen a strange memory workload this week, the used memory wasabout 740,390 kb, from my knowledge of SQL, i think this is very notnormal.Any help will be welcomeThanks in advanceV.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan anyone comment on the engine performance difference between SQL2005 Enterprise Edition versus Standard? I'm talking generalized performance of the engine and not admin features (parallel index operations) or scaled-storage (partitioning)
( http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/enterprise/comparison.mspx )
The marketing literature makes note of two things:
Enterprise can use more then 4 processors
Enhanced read-ahead and scan (super scan)
(note: I cannot find anything about this 'feature')
One un-noted Feature:
only Enterprise supports 'lock pages in memory'
We are in the process of migrating from SQL2000 to SQL2005 in an OLTP environment. Based on the marketing literature; I would have chosen SQL2005-standard. But based on our limited testing, we are seeing some strange differences.
Query Performance
With MaxDOP=1 and using a large batch query (select top 1500000); SQL2005-Enterprise is twice as fast as SQL2005-Standard.
(Note: this difference persists regardless of lock-pages-in-memory setting)
CPU Utilization
In addition, taskmgr shows that SQL2005-Enterprise uses a single processor at ~90%. While SQL2005-Standard shows a single processor at ~20%.
Lock Behavior
We are also seeing lock-behavior differences. A single DML statement that attempts to modify ~5000 rows will cause Table-locks on SQL2005-Standard but obtain normal row-locks on SQL2005-Enterprise.
These empirical differences make me wonder if the engine codebase is fundamentally different between the two?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Dear All,We have a database which contains many tables which have millions ofrecords. When We attach the database with MS SQL Server 2005 StandardEdition Server and run some queries (having joins, filters etc.) thenthey take very long time to execute while when We execute same querieson Enterprise Edition then they run 10 times faster than on standardedition.Our database does not use any features which are present in EnterpriseEdition and not present in Standard Edition. We want to know what arethe differences between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition forperformance. Why should we go for Enterprise Edition when StandardEdition has all the features required.We are presently using evaluation versions of SQL Server 2005 Standardand Enterprise Editions.Thanks and regards,Nishant Sainihttp://www.simplyjava.com

Hello Everyone,I have a very complex performance issue with our production database.Here's the scenario. We have a production webserver server and adevelopment web server. Both are running SQL Server 2000.I encounted various performance issues with the production server with aparticular query. It would take approximately 22 seconds to return 100rows, thats about 0.22 seconds per row. Note: I ran the query in singleuser mode. So I tested the query on the Development server by taking abackup (.dmp) of the database and moving it onto the dev server. I ranthe same query and found that it ran in less than a second.I took a look at the query execution plan and I found that they we'rethe exact same in both cases.Then I took a look at the various index's, and again I found nodifferences in the table indices.If both databases are identical, I'm assumeing that the issue is relatedto some external hardware issue like: disk space, memory etc. Or couldit be OS software related issues, like service packs, SQL Serverconfiguations etc.Here's what I've done to rule out some obvious hardware issues on theprod server:1. Moved all extraneous files to a secondary harddrive to free up spaceon the primary harddrive. There is 55gb's of free space on the disk.2. Applied SQL Server SP4 service packs3. Defragmented the primary harddrive4. Applied all Windows Server 2003 updatesHere is the prod servers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.67GHZTotal Physical Memory 2GB, Available Physical Memory 815MBWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1Here is the dev serers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.80GHz2GB DDR2-SDRAMWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1I'm not sure what else to do, the query performance is an order ofmagnitude difference and I can't explain it. To me its is a hardware oroperating system related issue.Any Ideas would help me greatly!Thanks,Brian T*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

How do I develop and test a website, locally, using MS SQL DB, without having MS SQL sever. Is there any light MS SQL sever I can use with a good user interface, and then just upload the DB to MS SQL server?
Please advise, NewBe2
OK, it isnt the end of the world but i have been moving all SQL databases from one server to another in our development environment and think i have screwed up a bit.
In essence, the users in each database are different to the logins in the security tab. IE, there are users in DB1 that dont appear in the logins list. Is there anyway of getting the security information uptodate? I move the databases by detach|file copy|attach into the nice shiny new server. I am running into all sorts of errors when i try to create users in security as it says the user alrady exists ...
all thoughts welcomed, am steeling myself to start all over again!
wondering what software tools people in the industry use for development of SQL projects.
I use SQL Enterprise Manager to manage the server then a mixture of SQL Query Analyser and MS Access to develop queries for our ASP/WEB projects (using access as an instant graphical front-end to the data).
Used to use a third-party tool to develop the sql code but not anymore as it was just a pain to get done, was called RapidSQL.
look forward to people's replies on this one, any input much appreciated,

Hi I am new to the SQL sever development environment.....I was given a project to work on and the problem looks like this....
I have a student data table and a HR table that loads student data and Employee data into a Master table.First the Student data and HR data are loaded into SISDATA and HRDATA tables respectively.Then any duplicates in the SIS DATA and HRDATA are filtered into a DUPESID table and DUPEEID table respectively.If there are duplicates between hrdata and sis data tables are loaded into the DUPES table.If there was a student who works as a part time employee and is a student then there is a conflict in the master table with the row missing its student id in the master table........pls help me to resolve this.Do i need to look over the DB design........????pls help me.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Recently my partner in crime (so to speak) and I have been asked to develop procedures and/or methods for our software development group. Currently we're running SQL Server 8 with several Access apps and Crystal Reports. In a nutshell, I'm looking for resources.
We're supposed to develop a process (we're both DBA's) where our development team can formally submit new stored procedures, views, or whatever they've come up with to solve for buisiness requirements. It'll be our job to take thier scripts and execute them on the production database after ensuring someone has tested the logic and signed-off on it.
Unfortunately, I have been charged with developing this process (ie: development, sign-off, testing, etc..). Currently we have no procedures in place; until now my partner and I have been the primary deveopers (this is about to change). Are there any resources out there that could help me develop a formal process for our soon-comming developers?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi,I am trying to create a development database server (make use of an old machine), with which to learn about sql 2005 and oracle etc. I'm using VS 2005 Beta 2 on my development/workstation machine.My workstation and the prospective server are connected via a router and can 'see' each other.I have installed win 2003 server on two seperate partitions (multiple boot) and installed sql server 2005 on one partition and will install oracle 10g on the other. (I understand these two databases can run on the same machine/OS, but I just wanted to keep things tidy and I won't be using them at the same time, so ...).My question is how do I/should I configure win 2003 server / sql server 2005 on my server machine, in order to be able to connect from my workstation via vs 2005 beta 2 ?Any suggestions or resources on configuration appreciated.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwe have a situation where modifications to the stored procs and views keep happening in the development databse environ while there is a live production database also up and running.
periodically we need to ensure that the development and the production are in synch where all changes made to dev are transferred to prod. however the entire prod database obviously cannot be overwritten as it contains production data. therefore what we need to do is to transfer all SPs and Views from the development to prodn. ( we do not prefer incremental transfers as there are many SPs and views and we can never really be sure that all changes have been transferred )
the obvious way is to script out all SPs and views in dev and run the scripts in prodn. but what we encountered was the enterprise manager does not script out the objects in heirarchical sequence - ie parent objects first and then the objects that refer the parent objects. this leads to errors when running the scripts as the objects required for the creation of a SP, say another SP run from within that SP , may not have been generated by then as the "contained" SP is lower in the alphabetical order in which SQL server scripted out the objects.
finally we had to look at each and every error and manually set the process right.
moreover in the way we did things the "sysdepends" table got all screwed up and therefore we can no longer depend on enterprise manager to show dependencies within the database.
is there any elegant way of going about this ? we also tried transfer manager in DTS but it also gave the same error. moreover can the sysdepends table be rebuilt from scratch ?
Hi,
Can anyone suggest good books on exclusively sql server development..Not for the beginners but at intermediate to advanced level.. Books which gives good understanding on Stored Procedures, Triggers, Cursors, Functions...
We have been facing some delevelopment issues with SSIS. These are as follows:
We want to execute some tasks in a particular package depending on a condition. Example: If record count is more than 0 then go to next task else stop the package.
We tried to write a script, in which we evaluate the value of the variable. This variable is populated with the record count value.
We cannot find any particular function which can exit the package successfully. We can fail the Task, but that means the package is failed. wo dont want to fail the package.
In short we want to conditionally execute some tasks in a package. Something like an "If container" similar to "For container".
We have one main package from which we execute 5 other packages. We want to assign values for connection information and variables in this main package only. The other 5 packages should pick values from this main package.
We are scheduling our package from Windows Scheduled Tasks. When the package is run in this manner, it doesnt read values of variables and connections from configuration file. It uses the values that were provided during development which are embedded in the code.
Thanks

I am running SQL Server 2005 SP2 in Vista. I have Developer editions of everything. I am trying to get BI Development Studio and Analysis Services loaded.
I don't seem to have BI Development Studio loaded. When I go to Control Panel/SQL Server install it says it is already loaded, it needs to be modified. When I try to modify it, it isn't there.
Do I need to run this from the command line with SKUUPGRADE=1 ? Modify the registry?
Second question. Can I get Analysis Services projects loaded into my regular 2005 Visual Studio? How do I install Analysis Services into Visual Studio? Or is it always completely separate, just looks like Visual Studio but can't be accessed from there?
Thanks...Marv
Hi,
I am looking for advice with setting up a 2005 environment for development, debugging and testing using a laptop as the development platform and a desktop pc as the database engine both connected via a LAN. The current configuration is that all the full blown Visual Studio / SQL development software is installed on the development laptop and can go wherever the developer goes, and the Express versions are installed on the desktop pc so that the development database has an unbroken connection with the network. This setup worked well in the past for developing applications that use a typical database interface. The applications could be completely developed and tested before it went live on the corporation€™s full blown production SQL server. Now we want to utilize the Reporting Services/SSIS in our development efforts and I would like to know what parts of the development software (Express vs. Full) should be installed on what unit (laptop vs. desktop) to fully develop and test using Reporting Services before we move to production? And anything else, like what services need to be running on what units etc.
TIA

I'm using visual studio 2005pro. I have SQLE2005 installed but would like to use SQLCE as well. Will they co-exist/play nice on my development machine? Any special install considerations?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI could use some help from those of you who have SSIS deployed in a production environment. The developer creates a SSIS package on a workstation with BIDS. Package accesses a network drive and a SQL database on a development server. The developer can test the SSIS package successfully in BIDS.
The only way to use the ServerStorage protect level is that the developer needs to save the SSIS package directly to the development server (we are storing the package in SQL Server). This is not a problem, but it possesses a problem when we need to migrate the SSIS package to the production server. This is because in development our databases are suffixed with the word test. Also, the SQL Server user id that has access to the tables has a different password in production. We run our SSIS packages with the SQL agent. The SQL agent id has permissions to the network drives; the connection information within the package has permissions to the SQL tables.
How can the DBA, who would ideally does not want to and may not be able to due to audit restrictions, update the server name, user password, and database name without using BIDS? I tried using the configuration file option, but that does not seem to work. It keeps deploying the XML configuration file to my local machine even after successfully migrating the package to SQL Server.
To me, the DBA should simply need to run the deployment wizard and target the production server. At the time of the deployment, the wizard should prompt for items that need to be updated, and the settings should be stored in SQL Server. I know this scenario sounds exactly like those presented in the docs, but I must be doing something wrong.
In the past I wrote DTS transforms entirely by myself. With SSIS, our team of several developers now wants each member to develop a piece of the same package.
Do SSIS packages support this type of simultaneous multi-developer creation or is it a "one developer at a time" type product?
TIA,
Barkingdog
We are migration few database from SQL 2000 Enterprise Server to the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server)
Problem :
- The performance difference observer was not much (Just 15-18%)
- The CPU Utilization goes to 100% immediately, when the software login screen appears and it sustains in between 90% to 100%
- Multi-User Access (3 or more concurrent users), the sql performance is tremendously slow.
Steps followed for Migration:
- We have used the backup and restore method to migrate the data from SQL 2000 Enterprise Server to the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server).
- We ran the DBCC DBREINDEX for each affected tables
- We executed the sp_updatestats procedure for all the tables
- Upgraded the DB compatibility version to 90
- Installed the SQL 2005 Enterprise Server (64 bit-Itanium Server) Service pack 2.
One thing that we observed, was the memory usage, on SQL 2000 the sqlservr.exe uses around 1.5 GB where as on the SQL 2005 its just 120 MB.
A normal select query on 2000 Server took 11-12 sec, having 10 lac records, and the same query on 2005 took 1 min (3-5 sec CPU process taken by sqlservr and rest by the Sever Management Studio.
The only differance noted was that on 2000 the entire data was displayed at one go where as in 2005 the data was displayed at the 1st sec, and was filling the rest in the buffer, and to finally display entire data it took 1 min.
Also
when we run this query
select * from sys.dm_os_sys_info
one column os_priority_class shows a value = 32 ? what does this means.
In the MSSQLSERVER SERVICES, properties, there is a parameter displaying value
Advanced > Running Under 64 bit OS = No ? what does this means.
Could anyone pls suggest as to how to increase the sqlservr.exe memory area, and also how the enhance the performance.
Hello,
I have my local development evrioment and my live webserver in colo. The two different machinces both have SQL2005 and copies of roughly the same database. I use the one for developement and the other obviously for production. Currently I read in different connection strings from my web.config file for my live version v my development version so I can have different database names and connection strings.
I'm looking at moving to LINQ, but I can't figure out how I'd achive an equivelent flexibility as database names and connection strings seem to be hardcoded in to the class using it's designer. Obviously if modifing this wasn't possible, nobody would be using LINQ, so how do I work around this?
Thanks,
