I was wandering what hardware benchmarking tools other DBAs used. I typically use Atto and IoMeter for benchmarking the harddrives and Sandra for other purposes. What are other good tools that I might use?

I was wondering if somebody could help.
We have a requirement where I am after some software which will enable mne to benchmark SQL Server 6.5 activity. We have a production server which over the last few months has began to run slow. I update stats etc.. on a regular basis but it still is not as fats as I think it should be.
Is there any benchmarking software available so I can guage the performance of the server.
Any advice or hints would be greately appreciated.
Thanks

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section, didn't know where to put it.
I'm doing a university paper comparing Microsoft Access versus SQL Server 2000 and I want to run a benchmark on them to see which is faster, does anyone know of any applications that will let me do this?
You may think this is silly since SQL Server is quite obviously faster, thing is a can't just say that in my paper, I have to be more specific so was hoping I could run some benchmarks and show the scores on the paper.
I know I can run an ASP script that can time how long the query takes to run, however this can't test multiple concurrent users accessing the system (useless I get all my friends computers around my house, bring up the page and get them to click on refresh all at the same time :) ).
I basically want to run a simple SQL SELECT statement on an identical database in both database systems (Northwind), but for mutliple users. Anyone know of any application?
Or does anyone know any performance tests that has been done on comparing Access with SQL Server? All I can find is material comparing high-end database against high-end database (Oracle vs SQL Server vs IBM DB2 etc.). If I can't do my own I can always use other peoples. Cheers!

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?
Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET'
I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two
problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer,
not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works
anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks
sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do.
last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??
Is there - apart from the notorious RESTORE HEADERONLY - an tool which is able to tell which SQL Server version created a specific BAK file? I'm looking for a tool that can be used w/o an available/running SQL Server installation.
Alternatively, is there any documentation about what is read with RESTORE HEADERONLY so I could write a tool myself?
Where would I find the version "bytes" in a BAK file?
Dear All,
how can we know that wether we had server tools or client tools on my machine?

I planning some web app that I would like to use MSDE to power. I admit I am intimidated by the thought of creating databases with no GUI. So my question is can I use SQL server 2000 tools with MSDE or can I create databases with SQL server 2000 then deploy them to a machine running MSDE?
Thanks

I need to be able to administer SQL 6.5 and 7.0 servers from a single pc.
I have been told that I can't have SQL 6.5 and 7.0 tools installed on the same pc.
Is this correct? I can't find anything in BOL or Technet on the subject.

Hi Guys
I have just been trying to install the Admin tools from the SQL 6.5 setup CD on a Win NT Workstation 4 SP6 system. Everything seems to go fine until the icons are addded into the program group, these come up as system default icons and don't link to any programs. If I go into the installed directory and execute the programs then I get the following message:
The SQLOLE OLE object could not be registered. Class not registered (80040154)
After clicking OK the program terminates. I have tried diferent install directories, even diferent partitions. I have also deleted the directory and removed the Registry entries manual - this is because it cannot be uninstalled.
Still no luck.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Stuza

View 2 Replies View Relatedwondering 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,
So I am starting to look at an OLAP problem having been an OLTP DB wonk for several years.
All very nice. Am bending my head aorund cubes and the dimensions trciks and learing to choose them more carefully.
Have wokred through the various chapters of various SQL books (OLTP books with a couple of chapters of OLAP I admit) and am starting to feel if not comfortable with it at leats not compleetly terrified.
Now the Analysis manager in SQL is all well and good but I'm not about to hand it to the accounting monkeys that work here.
Does anyone have any suggetsions of some good OLAP specific books and any Cube viewing tools/suites/utilities that I can give to the computer-illiterate bean counters I work for?
many thanks

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of buying (as I doubt there's any good free options) a SQL Server Monitoring tool.
Has anyone got any particular recommendations - good or bad? I know a little about Spotlight, but not much else.
Thanks in advance.
