Are there any packages or routines that can assist in estimating the resources needed for an
SQL based system?
The system will be developed using Visual Basic. We have the number of records that will be
converted and the volume information for daily activity.
I am looking to find a tool that will help me size the equipment and resources needed.
Thanks
Does anyone here have a favorite site or set of sites with resources on SSIS custom component (tasks, transforms, log providers, etc.) development? I've been searching around to try to find this on my own, but so far I've had little luck.
Darren - I've noticed that you always seem to have the most insightful responses to questions related to SSIS .NET development (such as your recent response to evaluating expressions in a custom component) so I am particularly interested in anything that you have to share.
Thanks in advance, everyone!
I would like to know how to estimate the size of a database before filling it with records. I need a sample calculation. I am new to this concept.
Pls help.
I have created a table called EMP with three columns such as Empname varchar(50), Salary int, maritalstatus bit, bloodgroup char(10). Initially the table does not contain any rows. But i have been told that the table will contain 1 lac rows. So i have been asked to estimate the database size. I don't know how to estimate the database size without inserting the records. Pls help me how to do it?
Thanx
Hi All
Is there anyway you can estimate the execution time/cost of a query prior to actually executing it?

Do yo know any formula to Estimate the size of the database ?
Can someone recommend an application that produces an estimate of the size of a database from column definitions and
estimated number of rows in each table? -- Thanks

View 2 Replies View Relatedare there any rules of thumb for estimating database size / datatable size. I don't seem to find any specifically for SQL2005
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to see how much memory your current SQL Server install is using? I recently had to do some reconfiguring, and although it went fine, I'd like to build a spreadsheet model so I could see what different parameter values do to memory usage. I'm kinda surprised there isn't one already.
And yes, I realize that 99% of the configuration options go away in 7.0. We're going to have 6.5 here for a while yet.
Is there any good online documentation describing rules of thumb for estimating and planning a SQL Server 2005 deployment in support of a Windows rich client/WCF services architecture?
TIA,

I used SqlConnection/SqlDataReader to read data from SQL Server 2000 in my ASP.NET project, but I found that the CPU usage is too high, and I used SQL Query Analyzer to run the same SQL statement, The CPU usage is the half of the previous, is there anyone can tell me why? Thank you!

Sometimes logging in to SQL 7 I get 'Memory resources not available...' and
log in process terminates. Do I need to up number of locks !
If so, how ! Pls. suggest any other ideas !

This proc will show you what is using SQL system resources right now. If a process is not currently using any resources, it will not show up on the list. Also, a dump of the input buffer is printed so you can see just what is going on.
I use this code whenever somebody whines that "The server is slow!".
The magic is ::fn_get_sql which came with service pack 3 for sql 2000.

Hi,
Im just looking for someone that has a demonstration Visual Basic database script.
Something that makes a database, ad / removes rows and information, does all basic database stuff, just as an example of how a SQL database is supposed to be handled.
Anyone have any links?
I know that a query inside a called UDF does not show up when displaying theestimated query plan, but are the resources (CPU, DiskIO) used by a UDF thatis call from within an SProc or embedded in a SQL statement included insp_who2 and Profiler BatchCompleted?Also how performance draining is it to do something like the following. Iassume for every row returned the udf will be called causing 8000 tablescans on DateTable?Create Functionu udf_GetCountDates (@StartDate datetime, @EndDate datetime)Returns IntbeginReturn(select count(*) from DateTablewhere ColDate > @TestDate and Col1Date <)end--DateTable has 5,000 rowsCreate proc Test@TestDate datetimeAsselect Col1, Col2, udf_GetCountDates(@TestDate, Col2)From OTable--OTable has 8,000 rowsGoThanks,Ray

Hi folks, thought I'd wade into the mssql waters, I've used mysql for some time, thought I'd familiarize myself with the other.
I downloaded mssql server 2005 express edition. Don't know if I missed anything on the site, maybe I did. I've got it running from the command line.
Are there any GUIs out there that are decent to use? Where can I download it?
Is there a specific manual available like mysql has? I think I stumbled across something but wasn't sure it was searchable, sorry the link is on my other 'puter at the moment so I can't see what I was looking at.
perhaps a sticky in this forum with good resources would be helpful to all.
Thanks,
Dave

Hello,
There are many Errorcodes which SSIS uses to represent errors, warnings etc.
List of errorcodes are at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345164.aspx
Now, in my SSIS package, I have defined error handler(OnError) and warning handler(OnWarning) to handle the events. Which logges them to a flat file with some formatting and condition checks including addional information about faulty row.
I dont want to log the exact error messages sent by SSIS as they are too much technical and not understanadble by normal user. I want them to be replaced with some custom message which I 'l pick from some resource file by matching the ErrorCode. One can consider this resource file as collection of key(ErrorCode), value(Custom Error Message) pairs.
In .NET we normally use resource files(.resx) to achive the same task. I found no way to use such resource files in SSIS.
Is there any way by which I can implement this functionality?
I dont want to implement custom logging mechanism as it does not fit into my application needs.
Please guide.
Hi
SQL Server is using up all of my system resources and i can't find where the problem is, i have used
exec sp_who
exec sp_who2
but i don't know what to look for, i'v even checked the memory comparison according to SQLSkills but that is all fine, the server is extremely slow all the time. I battle to open Query analyser or even just to connect to it takes forever, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Carel Greaves
could we download the videos of SQL Express learning resources as we can do it with the VWD, VB, C#????
there is another link to do it???
will they be available in a short future?
The errormessage after a deadlock gives very little information: "Your transaction (process ID #12) was deadlocked with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun your transaction."
But what resources, ie tables, indexes etc, are really deadlocked?
Is it possible to set a switch or something to log all relevant information about a deadlock for later investigation?
Anybody have a suggestion on text books or other materials that deal with performance tuning in SQL 7.0. From what I have seen SQL 7.0 is far diffrent than 6.5. I'm specificaly interestd in information about query plans, profiler and what a table spool does.
