Performance Gains Using Multiple (.ndf's)??
Jan 3, 2001
I have a legacy prod db of 102Gb which contains 101Gb of free space. The db
comprises 2 Primary (.mdf's) on one drive and over 200 (.ndf's) residing on one logical drive, (4 physical drives with RAID 5). ie. Each user table object has its own (.ndf). Some of these tables have been allocated up to 15Gb.
Limited documentation suggests that performance benefits can be achieved by
allocating a maximum size to certain key tables rather than setting the table
properties to autogrow.
No mention is made of grouping these files into filegroups to potentially achieve the same performance gains.
Transportability of this db is now a problem since no other test/dev/prod boxes contain enough free space.
I propose to re-create the db and have the user data tables reside within the (.mdf) - possibly even group highly active tables within filegroups.
Are there any benchmark tests or KB articles to indicate/support the original
strategy of using multiple (.ndf's) over data tables within one (.mdf)??
Thanks, in advance.

I apologize since this seems to be a fundamental question, but I did try to search and there seems to be something wrong - after clicking on the "search" button, the page just will not update... I even tried "advanced search" but no luck there, either.
Anyway, my question is about writing multiple data rows to tables in a SQL Server database. Currently I'm using embedded SQL from a VC++ 2005 .Net program to write data to a SQL 2005 Express server (either on the same PC or on another, via TCP). As data becomes available, I issue INSERT statements, one by one. One row is about a dozen columns, typically 8 bytes each, for each of the few tables in the database. In most cases, I have several rows of data available at the same time. Those rows come at the rate of around 200-1000 per second for the different tables. With that setup, my SQL server is not able to keep up - the data ends up getting buffered in the program, waiting for the server, the server process uses just about all the CPU cycles it can get, etc.
I'm reading the "SQL in a nutshell" book from O'Reilly but it's mostly language oriented, it doesn't say much about performance improvements. It would seem natural that one could improve the performance. For example, when I do a SELECT query, the data comes very quickly, which makes me think that it is the overhead of making those individual calls with small amount of data. I would think that I should be able to request that multiple rows are written at the same time with a single SQL statement, and that this would improve the performance. However, I have no idea how to do that.
I did try one thing - enlisting the sequence of INSERTs into a single transaction, thinking it will all get buffered and only get written to the server after the Commit command is issued. I did that but it doesn't seem to help. What should I try to alleviate this problem? One thing to consider: although I use SQL Server for testing, I am trying to keep compatibility with other databases, e.g., ODBC to any available data source, including MS Access over Jet. I would love it if the solution to this were compatible (i.e., not involve any Transact SQL or other vendor-specific tricks).
I thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi :I have a TableA with around 10 columns with varchar and numericdatatypesIt has 500 million records and its size is 999999999 KB. i believe itis kbi got this data after running sp_spaceused on it. The index_size wasalso pretty big in 6 digits.On looking at the tableAit didnot have any pks and hence no clustered index.It had other indicesIX_1 on ColAIX_2 on ColBIX_3 on ColCIX_4 on ColA, ColB and ColC put together.Queries performed in this table are very slow. I have been asked totune up this table.I know as much info as you.Data prior to 2004 can be archived into another table. I need to run aquery to find out how many records that is.I am thinking the following, but dont know if i am correct ?I need to add a new PK column (which will increase the size of thetableA) which will add a clustered index.Right now there are no clustered indices2. I would like help in understanding should i remove IX_1, IX_2, IX_3as they are all used in IX_4 anyway .3. I forget what the textbox is called on the index page. it is set to0 and can be set from 0 to 100. what would be a good value for it ?thank you.RS

I'm having serious problems with the IDE for SSIS for projects that contain more than 5 packages. Especially if these packages call each other with a run package task thats configured with a file connection. Especially annoying are the 20+ "Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text.." messages that pop up during loading / validating. For my project with around 30 packages it takes me around 10 minutes to click through all these pop ups in addition to the long loading time.
Anyone got any tips on this specifically or how to improve performance in the IDE in general? As it is now, the product is a REAL pain to work with for large projects.

I have two instances installed on my server. I have one database on the default instance and two very large reporting databases on the other instance.
Will having the default instance running affect the performance of the non-default instance where my reporting databases are?

hi,
I came across the following topic which speaks about inserting multiple rows into a table.
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=52980
The following is the code it concludes:
----------------------------------------------------------
INSERT INTO InstitutionManagement.dbo.b10_partC
(unitid, repyear, test, subject_area, scores,
credit_awarded, comments, recno)
select
unitid = 'data1a',
repyear = 'data1b',
test = 'data1c',
subject_area = 'data1d',
scores = 'data1e',
credit_awarded = 'data1f',
comments = 'data1g',
recno = 'data1h'
union all
select
unitid = 'data2a',
repyear = 'data2b',
test = 'data2c',
subject_area = 'data2d',
scores = 'data2e',
credit_awarded = 'data2f',
comments = 'data2g',
recno = 'data2h'
union all
select
unitid = 'data3a',
repyear = 'data3b',
test = 'data3c',
subject_area = 'data3d',
scores = 'data3e',
credit_awarded = 'data3f',
comments = 'data3g',
recno = 'data3h'
... And so on...
----------------------------------------------------------
My question is based on the performance of the above insert statement aganist Microsoft.Net SqlBulkCopy Class.
One more thing: Does the above statement gets executed as asingle statement or as multiple statements (One execution for each Select statement).
thanks
regards,

Hello,
I am planning to use three databases on the local SQL Server. DB1 will be for App1, DB2 for App2, and DB3 will hold tables, that both, App1 and App2 need to access.
Obviously, I need in App1 and App2 at least two SqlConnection and SqlCommand objects, one that access their respective databases, and one that will access DB3.
Will this result in a worse performance? (The using of two SqlConnection objects in one aspx page as example, and switching them)
Should I for better performance get rid of DB3 and add the tables there to DB1 and DB2 ? (Thus multiplying data, but, if the performance will be much better, it will be fine with me)
I would be thankful for any advices.

I wonder if anyone has any hard fact based pro or contra, especially onperformance, about having views as opposed to tables when the object isbeing accessed for read only by multiple sessions/users/spids. I amparticularly concerned about the multiple instantiations of the view.Relevant thoughts on this are much appreciated.Thanks,Caveman

Hi all,
In my project, I have a website and through that, I run my reports. But the reports take a lot of time to render. When I checked the profiler, it showed that the SP for the report is run around 4-5 times. Due to this, the report rendering takes a lot of time.
When, I ran the SP with the same set of Parameters in Query Analyser, it ran in around 18 seconds. But when I ran the report from web interface, it took around 3 minutes to completely show the data. And the SP has been run 5 times.
I am having serious problems with Report's performance because of this. Many a times, report just times out. I have set the timeout as 10 minutes. And because the Sp is run 5 times, the report times out, if there is huge amount of data.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to create a cluster configuration, where 2 (or more) SQL Server instances running on different servers will simultaneously serve the same database attached to the same storage? Something like this:
Instance A Instance B Instance C
(active) (active) (active)
| /
| /
| /
SAN for Database and Quorum
The point would be to improve reliability and performance at the same time. All nodes would share load. If a node fails, the other nodes still work and take over the load.
I know a failover cluster can be done, where 1 instance is active and others are passive (active/passive) which improves reliability, but in this configuration just 1 instance is serving at the same time.
(As far as I understand, the active/active configuration is meant to run different databases on 2 (or more) instances such that the databases on a failing node are taken over by any other instances in the cluster.)

I have a problem where my users complain that a select statement takes too long, at 90 seconds, to read 120 records out of a database.
The select statement reads from 9 tables three of which contain 1000000 records, the others contain between 100 and 250000 records.
I have checked that each column in the joins are indexed - they are (but some of them are clustered indexes, not unclustered).
I have run the SQL Profiler trace from the run of the query through the "Database Engine Tuning Advisor". That just suggested two statistics items which I added (no benefit) and two indexes for tables that are not involved at all in the query (I didn't add these).
I also ran the query through the Query window in SSMS with "Include Actual Execution Plan" enabled. This showed that all the execution time was being taken up by searches of the clustered indexes.
I have tried running the select with just three tables involved, and it completes fast. I added a fourth and it took 7 seconds. However there was no WHERE clause for the fourth table, so I got a cartesian product which might have explained the problem.
So my question is: Is it normal for such a type of read query to take 90 seconds to complete?
Is there anything I could do to speed it up.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Hello Everyone,I have a very complex performance issue with our production database.Here's the scenario. We have a production webserver server and adevelopment web server. Both are running SQL Server 2000.I encounted various performance issues with the production server with aparticular query. It would take approximately 22 seconds to return 100rows, thats about 0.22 seconds per row. Note: I ran the query in singleuser mode. So I tested the query on the Development server by taking abackup (.dmp) of the database and moving it onto the dev server. I ranthe same query and found that it ran in less than a second.I took a look at the query execution plan and I found that they we'rethe exact same in both cases.Then I took a look at the various index's, and again I found nodifferences in the table indices.If both databases are identical, I'm assumeing that the issue is relatedto some external hardware issue like: disk space, memory etc. Or couldit be OS software related issues, like service packs, SQL Serverconfiguations etc.Here's what I've done to rule out some obvious hardware issues on theprod server:1. Moved all extraneous files to a secondary harddrive to free up spaceon the primary harddrive. There is 55gb's of free space on the disk.2. Applied SQL Server SP4 service packs3. Defragmented the primary harddrive4.

I am trying to create a report using Reporting Services.
My problem right now is that the way the table is constructed, I am trying to pull 3 seperate values i.e. One is the number of Hours, One is the type of work, and the 3rd is the Grade, out of one column and place them in 3 seperate columns in the report.
I can currently get one value but how to get the information I need to be able to use in my reports.
So far what I've been working with SQL Reporting Services 2005 I love it and have made several reports, but this one has got me stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I might not have made my problem quite clear enough. My table has one column labeled value. The value in that table is linked through an ID field to another table where the ID's are broken down to one ID =Number of Hours, One ID = Grade and One ID= type of work.
What I'm trying to do is when using these ID's and seperate the value related to those ID's into 3 seperate columns in a query for using in Reporting Services to create the report
As you can see, I'm attempting to change the name of the same column 3 times to reflect the correct information and then link them all to the person, where one person might have several entries in the other fields.
As you can see I can change the names individually in queries and pull the information seperately, it's when roll them altogether is where I'm running into my problem
Thanks for the suggestions that were made, I apoligize for not making the problem clearer.
Here is a copy of what I'm attempting to accomplish. I didn't have it with me last night when posting.
--Pulls the Service Opportunity
SELECT cs.value AS "Service Opportunity"
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name = 'Service Opportunity'
--Pulls the Number of Hours
SELECT cs.value AS 'Number of Hours'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Num of Hours'
--Pulls the Person Grade Level
SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Grade'
--Pulls the Person Number, First and Last Name and Grade Level
SELECT s.personnumber, s.lastname, s.firstname, cs.value as "Grade"
FROM student s
INNER JOIN cperson cs ON cs.personid = s.personid
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE cs.value =(SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
WHERE ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid AND ca.name='Grade')

I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.

Hi all!
I'm trying to get some XML data into SQL Server but i ran into problem when inserting the data (multiple orders with multiple order details) using a single sproc. Is it possible, or do I have to do in some other way? :confused:
I simplified my example to this:
-----------------------------
--CREATE PROCEDURE sp_InsertOrders AS
DECLARE @docHandle INT, @xmlDoc VARCHAR(4000), @orderID INT
--DROP TABLE #Orders
CREATE TABLE #Orders
(
OrderId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1),
FkCustomerID SMALLINT NOT NULL,
OrderDate DATETIME NOT NULL
)
--DROP TABLE #OrderDetails
CREATE TABLE #OrderDetails
(
OrderDetailsId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1),
FkOrderID SMALLINT NOT NULL,
ProductID SMALLINT NOT NULL,
UnitPrice SMALLINT NOT NULL
)
Set @xmlDoc = '
<Orders>
<Order CustomerID="1" OrderDate="2004-04-01">
<OrderDetails ProductID="6" UnitPrice="19"/>
<OrderDetails ProductID="3" UnitPrice="11"/>
<OrderDetails ProductID="9" UnitPrice="7"/>
</Order>
<Order CustomerID="2" OrderDate="2004-04-12">
<OrderDetails ProductID="2" UnitPrice="24"/>
<OrderDetails ProductID="4" UnitPrice="13"/>
</Order>
</Orders>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @docHandle OUTPUT, @xmlDoc
INSERT INTO #Orders (FkCustomerID, OrderDate)
SELECT CustomerID, OrderDate
FROM OpenXML(@docHandle, 'Orders/Order', 3)
WITH (
CustomerID INTEGER,
OrderDate DATETIME
)
SET @OrderID = @@IDENTITY;
--INSERT INTO #OrderDetails (@OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice)
SELECT @OrderID AS OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice
FROM OpenXML(@docHandle, 'Orders/Order/OrderDetails', 3)
WITH (
ProductID INTEGER,
UnitPrice INTEGER
)
-----------------------------
All orders are inserted first which makes the use of @@IDENTITY incorrect (it works fine if you insert a single order with multiple order details). Since it was quite some time since I last worked with SQL I am not sure if am doing it the right way... :confused: :confused: Anybody out there who knows how to solve the problem?
Cheers,
Christian

I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:

[BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL,
[PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks

Hello All,
After hitting limitations in the SQL CLR world that bar us from invoking COM objects we are forced to use windows services to read the messages off the Service Broker Queues.
Unfortunately we loose the auto activation feature in the Queues, but we can still read messages and perform the SQL work under one transaction.
We are going to attempt to take N messages simultaneously from the Queue, though N instances of a windows service. If the messages send to the queue are one message per conversation, will we be able to achieve having N readers take messages off simultaneounsly?
Thank you very much,
Lubomir
P.S. if anyone has a better approach to obtaining the message in "out of sql code" or invoking external (not assemblies stores in SQL server) code libraries, that would be etremely nice to hear. I have thought about invoking a web service through CLR, but that is probably too much overhead - MSMQ seems much more appealing than a web service;

I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query:
SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount,
T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid,
T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount,
T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid,
T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled,
T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student
FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN
T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN

T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student
HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo.
30429
Cheque
250
Deposit
250
30429
679.98
250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result.
So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.

Hello All,
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report
The table (System Info) looks like:-
ID | System part |
1 | RAM
2 | Disk Drive
10| CPU
11| CD ROM |
Which
So basically I need it to look like this.
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive|
----------------------------------------------
A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item
SELECT SYSTEM PART
FROM System Info
WHERE System.ID = 1
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi!
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
Any pointer most welcome!
best regards and thanks
Thibaut

I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.
The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.
However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.
Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.
I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?
