Disk Partition Size
Sep 27, 2006Can you please tell me what the largest disk partition size is for a clustered SQL Server 2005 installation (64 bit edition)? I have been told it is 2 Terabytes - can anyone confirm this?
Many thanks

System Databases On Different Disk Partition
Aug 19, 2007Hi all,
I'm having some performance-wise thoughts about my new sql-server 2005 installation ...
I have my SQL installed on one partition (the system dbs are also on that partition by default), my regular databases (non system dbs) are on different partition.
The question is - if my sys dbs are on different partition, could I experience some performance issues ?
One senario that I can think of is when the SQL looks for SPs starting with sp_ in the master DB, the disk will have to check a different partition. Perhaps such senario was solved using some kind of caching methods on the sql server itself.
Hope my thread is in the right forum.
Cheers everyone.
Changing The Data Files To Another Disk Partition
May 26, 2004Hi,
I have a sql server 7 running on a machine with two disk partitions (D: and E:).
The data files xxx.mdf and xxx.ldf are stored in D:, which has very few space available. I want to copy these files to E: but I get an error saying that it is not possible to change the source file of a database. Is it possible to do it or do i have to create another data file in E: and keep the old one in D:?
Thanks in advance,

Should The Quorum Disk Be A Physical Disk Or Majority Node Set?
Nov 15, 2006Hello,
I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

SQL 2005 Resize Initial Log Size: MODIFY FILE Failed. Specified Size Is Less Than Current Size.

SQL Server, Disk Arrays And Disk IO
May 7, 2004Hi all,
Ok here goes,
I have a three tier system using SQL server 2000, we are currently experiencing IO bottle necks on our SCSI Raid 10 array, which holds the Data and the logs in separate partitions.
So my options as I understand it are:
Get Enterprise edition
or
Get another physical raid 10 array and separate the logs and data i.e. data on one array and logs on the other array.
I would like to try the latter but I am totally unsure how much difference this will make or whether it will make any difference at all.
Does anyone know how much performance increase I will get from using two arrays as opposed to one?
Any other advice on this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Error - Output Param - SP - Size Property Has An Invalid Size Of 0
Nov 14, 2007Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR. I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0. par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar); par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; cmd.Parameters.Add(par); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this? Is there any way around it other than either finding out what the size should be, or assigning a size larger than would ever be needed? ThanksMike Thomas

Best Practice For Data Size/Log Size Ratio
Jul 23, 2005Just wanted to know what is a general rule of thumb when determining log file space against a database's data file.We allow our data file for our database to grow 10%, unlimited. We do not allow our log file to autogrow due to a specific and poorly written process (which we are in a three month process of remove) that can balloon the log file size.Should it be 10% of the Data file, i.e. if the Date file size is 800MB the log file should be 8MB?I realize there are a myraid of factors that go against file size but a general starting point would be nice.ThanksJeff--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

Partition On Value
Feb 9, 2006I can see lot of documentation on Range Partitioning. Is there any other type of partition supported in SQL Server 2005?
For example, I have a Fact table having Billion rows. It has a column called BATCH_ID. A BATCH_ID corresponds to 10-20 Million rows and it is a running sequence number like 1,2,3 etc. (not an identity column). Is there anyway I can specify a partition function with BATCH_ID column as an int value? Will the SQL Server automatically does the partition on each int value in that case? If not, what is the best way to do it?
Thanks in advance for all help in this
Os Partition Problems
Jul 3, 2004Hi,
I recently installed MSSQL 2000 and sp3a onto a windows 2003 server in a test lab. I configured one big c: partion on this os and installed the db in the default location.
I need to detach the db's on this server and re-attach them onto another MSSQL 2000/sp3a server running 2003 os with a partition scheme like this:
c: = 20 gigs for the os
e: = 600 gigs for the data
I could not re-attach the db's onto the e:default path odatabase
Is there a work-around for this? This makes sense to me as to why it is not working and was an install oversight on my part but there has to be a way to overcome this delima?
Thanks in advance,

Alternative To PARTITION BY
May 21, 2008I have a situation where my SQL works everywhere else but my COBOL compiler complains wherever I use PARTITION BY. I can't find a workaround for that problem so I would like to remove all the PARTITION BYs. I'm not confident that I can do this accurately and would like some help getting started.
Here is my simplest example:
SELECT FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE)
FROM FESOR, FR
where FESOR.phase = 'Ref'
and FESOR.assign is null
and FESOR.comp_date is null
and FESOR.region = FR.REGION
and FESOR.type = FR.TYPE
and FR.REP_ROW='A'
GROUP BY FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE
What I'm looking for is a modified version of the SQL above which returns the same result set without using PARTITION BY.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
