Does anyone have any information I can look at that may show me what resource overhead I may see by using encryption in SS2K5?
I am interested in memory consumption and other metrics of that nature when encrypting and decrypting data.
Especially when you have several hundred to several thousand connections.
Thanks ALL!
Does anyone have any specific performance information using AES or other encryption schemes supported by SQL Server 2005?
- What method did you find works best?
- Did you encrypt any XML Data?
- Did you encrypt specific columns or whole tables?
Thanks,

hi,Is it over head to use SqlTransaction(begin, commit, rollback) for a single transaction.am not using application block or enterprise library.only a single insert statement.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs part of dealing with a locking problem I am fine tuning a stored procedure
that updates a table. The application updates a row by changing every single column except for the primary key, whether 1 or all of the columns have
been modified. Although easier to code, this strikes me as taking a sledge hammer to a nut.
Could anyone tell me if there is any benefit in attempting to break this down. That is, code the stored procedure so that only those columns being changed are modified. I am thinking this might reduce dramatically the overhead of writing to the transaction log and making the changes to the actual row.If the benefit is non existant (or insignificant) because of the way Sql Server updates a row it will obviously be a waste of time to generate
dynamic sql.
Thanks
Hey I need to know the overhead associated with SQL Server tables?
And what the overhead is comprised of ,would also be helpful.
Please
Does anyone have any benchmarks for the amount of overhead caused by autoshrink of the log and having autostats enabled? We have a customer that insists that turning off these options was necessary to eliminate a performance problem they were having (Query timeouts), but we are not convinced that these two options would have generated enough overhead to have been the root cause (they also rebuilt all their indexes and made some other unspecified changes that more likely solved the problem).
We are hestitant to have them continue with these options disabled because then we need to rely on them to keep the log file shrunk and the statistics updated and because of the data changes during the day, would prefer to have stats updated automatically rather than on a fixed schedule that may not be as appropriate.
Anyway, if anyone has any feedback on overhead generated and potential performance implications of having either of these options enabled, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hope somebody can give me some advice .
We are having some issues with temporary tables (with # prefixes) within Stored Procedures.
When running a profile trace on them, the stored proc quite happily creates the temp # table (in fact several of them) but whenever it hits the first statement inserting data into one of them (and it doesn't matter which one), there is a 5-6 second delay.
By commenting out one and moving to the next piece of code, the same thing happens.
Following which, the rest of the Stored Prco runs fine and subsequent inserts into the # temp tables also run efficiently.
Is the stored proc getting recompiled perhaps ?
Any advice woul;d be appreciated.
we are running SQL Server 7.0, dont know whether that helps ?
Hi
I have been doing some testing with SQL Server 2000 using a packet sniffer, and have found that it is sending bytes with a value of 0x00 between each "valid" character. For example, if it was going to send "hello" over the network, it would be transmitted as "h.e.l.l.o".
Can anybody suggest why this might be. It happens regardless of what client is used - ADO.NET, osql.exe, etc. Is it something to do with the encoding used?
Everything does work fine and the data is received intact, but if these seemingly redundant bytes could be removed then it would increase performance by 100%.
Thanks
I have created two user defined functions for encryption and decryption using passphrase mechanism. When I call encryption function, each time I am getting the different values for the same input. While I searching a particular value, it takes long time to retrieve due to calling decryption function for each row.
best way to encrypt and decrypt using user defined functions.Below is the query which is taking long time.
SELECT ID FROM table WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE dbo.DecodeFunction(column) = 'value'
When I try to use symetric or asymetric encryption, I am not able to put "OPEN SYMETRIC KEY" code in a function. So, I am using PassPhrase mechanism.
We are going to apply CDC on one database.
CDC is creating additional tables under System tables.
What is the performance overhead on the database by creating these tables?
I am going to access the CDC records through one ETL tool. Once read the data I am going to delete the records.
If frequency of changes are more once reading the data there may be few records will be added to the CDC. Is CDC is going to truncate the tables or only read records?
I would like to capture about 20 rows from the sysperfinfo table every30 secs on a production server. I am thinking of ways I can reduce thedisk (not network) I/O overhead of this process. Instead of readingthe table from a local SQL Agent job and writing to a local table, I amwondering if I should create the job to capture the data from a remote(less critical) server. The servers are connecting via a gigabit lineand are in the same server room on the same switch. This way theproduction server would be required to do the reads but the otherserver could take care of the I/O of the writes to the capture table.Also, this job would run from 7am to 7pm non-stop. A waitfor delay of30 seconds would control the twice a min scheduling. Running this onthe remote server would free up a few SQL Agent CPU cycles as well.This would be one less job for the production server to worry about.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a developer, and I have a disagreement with my DBA. He has convinced management, that SQL 2005 FullText Index is so much overhead on production, that it should NEVER be used under any circumstances. We have a Cold Fusion site, and somehow he convinced management that a bunch of Cold Fusion developers can create a more efficient full text indexing method than by using SQL 2005 Full Text Index. So now we have to come up with a method for doing this in Cold Fusion.
Is there any statistical data that could possible support or refute his statements?

I've been asked to put together an estimation for the performance impact that replication would have on our database server during a particular operation. I know that this depends on a lot of different factors, including:
* Number of articles being replicated
* Types of articles being replicated
* Number of DML transactions that would result in delivery of replicated data
Any way to turn this into a meaningful metric?
I was wondering if anyone out there knows if it is possible to encrypt a particular field in a table, or encrypt a whole table. The info would remain on my database and not be sent out anywhere, but I just want an extra level of security against anyone who might try to break into the database.

Hello,
Is there a way to encrypt the data ( I mean actual data stored
in a table)in a SQLServer.
I know how to encrypt procedures, views, Net-libraries ......
Please help!!!!
Thanks.
How to get the encryption of certain characters, such as '12345' or 'hello'. Is any function to take regular characters and return the encryption form of those characters?

Hello,
I am needing to migrate an Access database to Sql Server
Express. This database will be distributed as part of a
VB 6 application. This database will have some of the
columns encrypted. My understanding is that SQL Server
Express supports encryption. We will need to be able to
run queries on encrypted data like this, with
LastName being an encrypted column in the database.
Select LastName from Account where LastName = 'Smith'
Select LastName from Account where LastName Like 'Sm%'
Update Account Set where LastName = sLastName
Can this be done using SQL Server 2005 Express and VB 6?
Thanks!

I am new to SQL server and working on Encryption.I just want to know whether it is better to encrpt a data in database or in the code itself.I want to encrypt a number and not a text.which one would u suggest RC4 algorithm or pwdencrypt..any one plz reply soon..

I am using server 2005 running on a windows server 2003 platform. I am trying to do field encryption using symmetric key implemented by the AES algorithm. I created an AES key and apparently it encrypts the data with no problem, however when I try to retrieve the data after decryption the field is always null. I tried using the same process while using the DES or RC2 algorithm and I could both encrypt and decrypt information, however it does not decrypt for any of the AES algorithm i.e. AES_128, AES_192 and AES_256. Attached is a simple query I used to test it.
create symmetric key CCardKeys
with algorithm = aes_192
encryption by password = 'P@s$w0rD'
open symmetric key CCardKeys
decryption by password = 'P@s$w0rD'
declare @Id varchar(50)
set @Id = encryptbykey(key_guid('CCardKeys'),'Test')
select convert(varchar(50),decryptbykey(@Id))
close symmetric key CCardKeys
Is there something I'm missing with AES.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.
Here is my goal please let me know if it is possible.
I have installed sql express on clients machines. I don't want them to be able to view the sp's or the functions. I would like to go as far as not allowing them to see the tables. I tried with encrption but this is still breakable by the user using the DAC.
