Oct 4, 2006I have do some benchmark test between the "Principle", "Mirror" and "Witness", things seems normal, the System usage (CPU, Disk Read/Write) on the "Witness" is very small and the CPU usage on Principle and Mirror is similar, However....
For the "Disk Write Bytes/sec", the usage on Principle is 200,000 and the Mirror is 1,500,000, the mirror server is talking about x7 times Disk Write Bytes/sec on the Mirror.
I cannot think of any reason why the Disk Write Bytes /sec is so much higher than the Principle, can somebody help me?
SQL Security :: What Is Average Disk Sec / Write In Perfmon Counter
Jul 28, 2015We are collecting perfmon counters every 15 second . Among the counters is Average Disk sec/Write . I under stand that it is the average time taken in second to write a data to the disk. However I do not understand what the is quantum of data written in one second. What is the measure or unit of data in Average Disk sec/Write or is it simply the average time taken for an I/O write request.

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.

this is my configuration :
1) 3 disks in RAID5 that hold the SQL data

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
Caching UDF
Jul 20, 2005Hi All,I have an application that reads data from a very slow database link(like 10 seconds per call) though what I am looking for would be ofgeneric use for anyone who has long-running queries that arefrequently repeated.I would like to be able to cache the results of a query so that I donot have to re-execute that query if it is reissued. Ideally Ibelieve that this could be implemented by hiding the query inside aUDF and exposing the UDF through a view. The UDF could then "Checkthe cache" and only run the slow query if there wasn't a match (or ifthe match was too old). From what I understand the best way to dothis would be for the cache to be an extended stored procedure.Has anyone done or seen this? Has someone written a copy that Icould purchase? Does anyone care to offer their opinnion of how or ifthis could work?Thanks in Advance,Steven

Jul 21, 2006Hello All,
I want to use SQLDataSource as a base of all Gridview in my application. I have read that SQLDataSource support caching.
I want to know as SQLDataSource is a child control of page class. It will get unloaded when page is unloaded. So how caching works. Like I am using SQLDataSource as base of my GridView control. When I perform paging or sorting,In theory It says that It will not hit the Datbase again. It will keep that Data in memory as DataSet, but this will stay alive upto life of page, which starts again and again when a page is requested, So as its child controls.
Can anybody give me more intrinsics on this.
Any Help from Microsoft is appreciated !!!!
Thanks !!
SqlDataSource Caching
Nov 4, 2006I know I can use the SqlDataSource object and cache the results by setting it's enableCache property to true, but what if I am using essentially the same SqlDataSource control across multiple pages? For instance I have a States SqlDataSource on many pages in my site, if I enable caching on all of these objects won't they all be cached separately? Is the solution to not use the SqlDataSource and instead cache the datatable of results and bind the dropdownlists to that? Thanks in advance.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSqlCacheDependency, Not Caching
Jun 25, 2007Hi, I'm trying to set up a SqlCacheDependency using the Query notifications of SQL Server 2005.
I haven't even got to the point of testing the notifications part. My problem is that my DataTable is not
even getting stored in the cache when I insert it. The cache seems to be getting invalided as soon
as I add the DataTable. Here is my code:
(am trying to get a simple example working first)protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ DataTable results = (DataTable)HttpRuntime.Cache.Get("supplyFunctions");
if (results == null)
{ Response.Write("Cache Invalidated, hitting DB. TIME: " + DateTime.Now.ToString());
results = getSupplyFunctions();
}
else
{ Response.Write("got from Cache, TIME: " + DateTime.Now);
} GridView1.DataSource = results;
GridView1.DataBind();
}private DataTable getSupplyFunctions()
{ DataTable results = new DataTable(); using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ToString()) )
{ using (SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand())
{
command.CommandText = "schema.myStoredProc"; command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlCacheDependency dependency = new SqlCacheDependency(command); SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
adapter.SelectCommand = command; DataSet dataset = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(dataset);
results = dataset.Tables[0];
HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert("supplyFunctions", results, dependency);
}
} return results;
}
Also, whats weird is that when I keep refreshing the page, after like 5 to 10 minutes it works, and starts caching the data.
This disturbs me-- I would like to know what is going on. I am pretty sure my stored procedure doesn't break the rules of the query notifications. Can someone help me out?!??!
Thanks!
Caching Question
Jul 31, 2007 Question for all Cache Gurus
I have a page in my website that pulls content for a
newsletter from a SQL Server 2000 database using a SqlDataSource and a
FormView. I add a new newsletter every week. Other than that weekly addition,
no changes are really ever needed or made to the data. Scott Gu says every
application can and should make use of caching and I would like to add some
kind of caching to improve the performance of this page. I have read about SqlCacheDependency with SQL
2000, but if I understand it correctly, it will poll the database for changes
every x seconds, an expensive operation that I just don’t need; the data only
changes once a week. I’ve seen some code examples using DataSets and the Cache
API but I’m really just looking for a simple, mostly declarative solution using the
SqlDataSource. Theoretically, I would
like the data cached forever until I insert a new item. I have set the
following cache-related properties on my SqlDataSource as follows:
EnableCaching = TrueDataSourceMode = DataSetCacheDuration = InfiniteCacheExpirationPolicy = Absolute
Setting these properties seems to work great for caching the
data but how do I programmatically invalidate the cache when a new item is
inserted? I have a separate admin page with a FormView that I use to insert the
newsletter each week. Is there some kind of code that I could put in the
ItemInserted event that would invalidate the cache so that the new item will be
displayed and then cached? I don't have any experience with caching; where am I going wrong? Are my expectations unrealistic? Thank you in advance to anyone who can shed some
light on this issue.
Caching Problem, I Think
May 14, 2008I've recently deployed an ASP.Net application, with admittedly not a lot of experience with SQL Server 2005 caching.A problem that I ran into is a user searching for a case number very soon after entering it, and it not showing up. However, after a few minutes and re-running the search it appeared.I'm guessing that this is a SQL Server caching issue, but I'm not sure what to do about it.On my search screen, I have a listview for the results, a textbox for the case # input, a button and a sqldatasource. The SqlDataSource uses a select statement, and two parameters for user(ensure the case belongs to that user) and casenumber. The SqlDataSource has enablecaching set to false. Any ideas what I can do about this issue? Also, any good places I can read about sql server caching? Thanks

May 9, 2007I'm trying to performance tune a procedure and am sort of being thwarted by caching.
When I first run the procedure, it takes a few seconds which is too long in this case. Subsequent executions in Management Studio are nearly instantaneous, though, which I imagine is due to caching and does not reflect the behavior of the procedure in production.
Is there a way to disable caching so that each execution of the procedure in Management Studio will be consistent and reflect the "first run" performance?

If i use the caching feature of the report. is there a way i can find or set in the report itself if the user if renedered from cache or actually connected to the database.
i mean if ON the Caching, for the 1st user the data will come from DB and the report manager stores the report in cache. next user if he tries to connect should get a message that the report was rendered from cache - taken 5 min back.
any possibility in reports.

SqlCacheDependency Without Output Caching
Jul 25, 2006I have SQL Server 2005 and I am using .Net 2.0.
Is there a way to cache a query, basically I am going to do a SELECT * on a table that is called frequently.
I then want to query this DataTable that is in cache. I want to invalidate the cache when the table changes.
Everything I have read tells me to use the output caching directive. But, much of what I am doing doesn't end up in the output. Is there a way to invalidate the cache the same way without output caching and using the Service Broker?
SqlDataSource, StoredProcedure, And Caching...
Mar 12, 2007Hi everyone!I tried to set my SqlDataSource's SelectCommandType to be a stored procedure. However the SqlDataSource failed to cache it. But if I just copy paste my stored procedure's content to my SqlDataSource's SelectCommand property, the cache just works. Is "StoredProcedure" as the "SelectCommandType" is not supported when caching the data? Or am I missing something here? Please help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCaching Of Stored Procedure
Apr 13, 2007Hello all,
I've got an application that calls a really simple stored procedure - just selects all records from the dbase. The problem is this seems to cache every now and then and as the same table is updated very frequently by other users this means the data returned isn't up to date. I thought it was Sql Server caching the results of the stored procedure, but I can do an iisreset and it will be up to date again. And unless I'm missing some point iisreset has no bearing on Sql Server. So is there an application data cache somewhere that I should be clearing to ensure the recordset is always up to date?
SQL2005 Dependancy Caching
Aug 24, 2007I'm in the process of optimizing a fairly large ASP.Net App.
One of the things I want to do is enable SQL Dependancy caching. I've set this up fine SQL2005 side but need a bit of advice .Net Side. I know if you use the SqlDataSource class you can set it to use the caching, unfortunatly this projects Datalayer uses the SqlDataAdapter is there any way of making this use SqlDependancy chacing?
Hope that makes sense and doesnt sound too dumb.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCaching Data With SqlDataSource
Mar 14, 2008Hello, every one! This is my first post on the forum. I got some questions about caching data with SqlDataSource controls in asp.net 2005. Here are them: According to the vs.net 2005 documents, SqlDataSource controls will sustain an individual cache for each combination of ConnectionString, SelectCommand and values of SelectParameters. But how about FilterExpression and FilterParameters? If I enable caching and change the FilterExpression or values of FilterParameters, will the SelectCommand be reexcuted, or will the databinding controls just get data from the existing cache? And will multiple SqlDataSource controls with the same combination of ConnectionString, SelectCommand and values of SelectParameters share a common cache, or sustain caches of their own?
