Performance With Respect To Scalability

Dec 5, 2007

Our databases were working fine in terms of performance until over the last 2 months wherein the timeouts and deadlocks have started increasing. We are having growing clients with huge real-time transactions. We have been adding NOLOCKs on queries that are being used frequently etc but the timeouts are still an issue. Not sure what the best way to identify problem areas is. The CPU utilization has also been on the higher side. Profiler identified long queries are being indexed etc. But the performance is still a concern. Any ideas? What am i not looking at? HELP HELP..

Thanks,
Sri

Can anyone test it?
In addition, tell me.
Is it good or have a bug?
If anyone have the better query then please tell me.

Analysis :: Does SSRS Respect MDX Format Strings

Sep 22, 2015

Im using , FORMAT_STRING="###,###.##" on the definition of a calculated member.  When testing the query in SSMS, the formatting looks right, but when I run the query in SSRS it looks like its not coming over.  I suppose I can apply my own formatting on the report, but im just wondering if this is by design or lack of ?

Left Join Contraint Problem With Respect To Parameters

Dec 1, 2006

I have a query in and OLEDB Source which results in incorrect rows returned due to its structure:
SELECT table1.ABCD, table2.BAAA, table3.CAAA, table4.DAAA, table5.EAAAFROM table1LEFT OUTER JOINtable3 ON table1.ABCD = table3.BCDE LEFT OUTER JOINtable4 ON table1.ABCD = table4.CDEF LEFT OUTER JOINtable5 ON table1.ABCD = table5.DEFG LEFT OUTER JOINtable2 ON table1.ABCD = table2.EFGHWHEREtable1.extractSession = ?AND table3.extractSession = ?AND table4.extractSession = ?AND table5.extractSession = ?AND table2.extractSession = ?

The correct query needs to be the following, but it won't work in the OLE DB Source:
SELECT table1.ABCD, table2.BAAA, table3.CAAA, table4.DAAA, table5.EAAAFROM table1LEFT OUTER JOINtable3 ON table1.ABCD = table3.BCDE AND table3.extractSession = ?LEFT OUTER JOINtable4 ON table1.ABCD = table4.CDEF AND table4.extractSession = ?LEFT OUTER JOINtable5 ON table1.ABCD = table5.DEFG AND table5.extractSession = ?LEFT OUTER JOINtable2 ON table1.ABCD = table2.EFGH AND table2.extractSession = ?WHEREtable1.extractSession = ?

=========================
ExtractSession is an integer that uniquely identifies the run (for the night, perhaps). I load a bunch of staging tables that retain their data for a period of time, with each load identified by this staging number. So, I need to restrict my data pull to the correct load (extractSession).

The first query returns three (3) rows when I should be getting back all 250,000 rows from table1. The second query listed works correctly.

Am I missing something, or do I need to find another way to constrain my tables' extract session dynamically at execution time in SSIS? Is a control table the best way to go here and simply join to it?

Thanks,
Phil

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET Does Not Respect ORDER BY Clause On SQL Server 2005 EE

Jul 3, 2007

Hi,
I need to pass data from a SQL Server data base to an Access data base. To do this I use the OPENROWSET as followed:
FR


INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Aux.mdb'; 'Admin'; '',Test) (Id, Name, TypeId) SELECT Id,Name,TypeId
FROM Test
ORDER BY TypeId


FR

On SQL Server 2000 or MSDE the data is transfered as expected, respecting the specified order. But when I run the same clause on a SQL 2005 EE the data is transfered, but the order is not respected.
So my question is if I have to activate an option for the order to be respected or if this is a bug.

Best regards,
Ângelo Vilela

How To Test Scalability

Dec 5, 2007

Hi,

Whats the best way to test scalability on a database? I'm working on a new app, and have handed off developing the database to someone with more experience. Some tables will grow to many million records, and I don't want it to bottleneck. I need to have it fully tested before it goes live.

Is it reasonable to ask the person helping me to fill it with 10's of millions of rows to test performance? Is this a decent solution? If so, what would the best way to fill it be? If not, what steps should I take?

Thanks very much!

SQL Server Scalability

Jul 23, 2005

Could someone out there please help me to answer these questions?Thanks in advance.1. What aspects of SQL Server allow it to reliably scale up to supporta large global enterprise? And, when does SQL Server reliabilitybegin to fail?2. Given a role-based security model and without doing a benchmark,are there potential performance issues of using a SQL Server database ?How would this change if more of the security was moved to theapplication level or moved to the database?3. How does SQL Server manage access to data at the record and datafield level?4. w do support and administration requirements compare between SQLServer (or MSDE) and Oracle? Consider levels of expertise needed fromcentral server to desktop implementations.

SQL7 User Scalability

Mar 10, 2000

Hello All,

I was just looking for some rough estimates on the number of simultaneous users that SQL7 EE can support in a Web (IIS/ASP) environment. I know there are a lot of configuration issues that will effect the answer, but assume that there are a couple of IIS servers running WLBS that need to connect to the SQL database for query and update functionality. Of course, all access to the database will be controlled through stored procedures. Any thoughts would be most appreciated...

Thanks,

Scalability With Mount Points

Feb 28, 2008

I understand mount points help scalability in easier maintenance.
By scalability do we mean more than 26 drive letters or it means adding more space to the same mount point letter on with more ease .

Can I add more space to a mountpoint if required later on by adding hard disks .

Also if one can give some pointers to good file group configuration guidelines / storage align partitions , it will be very much helpful

Further I my server CPU has 4 cores , will having 4 filegroups help me in improving system performance.


If SAN has 2 controllers , is it preferred to run data file partition on one controller and log file partition on another.

Thanks in advance.

High Availability And Scalability ...

Jul 12, 2006

We have a multi-lingual website (English, Spanish and German). We have a table called Posts that is potentially getting really big.

We are in the initial design phase of the database and would like to know what the experts are suggesting to keep our database mean and lean in the long run.

We have been talking about splitting the database up into 3 separate databases, one for English, one for Spanish and one for German. The language specific databases would also be hosted in countries where the language is spoken eg. the German database would be hosted in Germany.

Or maybe database partitioning by language???

Making changes to 3 databases once launched seems like a nightmare. It would be nice to have one main database and maybe 2 (Spanish and German) €œsatellite€? databases or something like that €“ any ideas???.

Any suggestions of how to deal with this problem the best way would be greatly appreciated. We are using SQL Server 2005.

Newbie!

Balancing Scalability With Availability

Jun 16, 2006

We are beginning to design a new application with SQL Server 2005. Our current production environment is slated to be two SQL Server 2005 machines with the databases residing on an EMC SAN. We have requirements to both have automatic failover between servers for availability and also be able to balance the load over two hot servers for scalability.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for things I need to consider in order to be able to implement both of these requirements? Can I implement database mirroring (for failover) and transactional replication (for balancing) given the hardware configuration I'v mentioned? Is more information needed? Where should I turn next?

I am coming off a mainly Oracle background for the last ten or so years with a smattering of SQL Server mixed in. I've tried to hit the ground running on this project, but sometimes find myself hitting the wall running instead.

Thanks,

Larry

Scalability Questions For Extended Stored Procedure

Jan 25, 2006

Hi,First I would like to apologize for cross posting in three groups asI did not know which one would be the appropriate group. If some onepoints me to the correct one I will use that in the future.I am trying to findout the scalabilty of an user written extendedstore procedure. I have created a dll using a C program(modified/plagarized from some of the examples) . The main function ofthis extended SP is to act as a passthru to connect to an third partyODBC driver. All this is supposed to do is take the passthru sqlstatement, userid, passsword and connect to a remote server (IBM 3090Mainframe in our case) using a system ODBC connection and pass thereturned result set back to the stored procedure calling this extendedSP. I am trying to find out the answers for the following questions.1. What are the limitations of this approach.2. What would happen say if 2,000 concurrent calls per minute are madeto the extended SP from the web app.3. What would happen if this continued for say 4 hours. Will the memoryusage increase to point that will cripple the server assuming there isno memory leak in the dll.4. Are there any connection pooling concerns that I should payattention to specifically from an Extended SP point of view.5. Apart from compiling the dll using the "MultiThread" option should Ibe using other options to make sure the dll is threadsafe.SQL server Environment :OS - Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4SQL - SQLServer 2000 Enterprise edition SP3Hardware - 8 way 2 node cluster with 6Gb RAMAny help regarding this is greately appreciated.Prahalad

Extremely Poor Query Performance - Identical DBs Different Performance

Jun 23, 2006

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. Applied all Windows Server 2003 updatesHere is the prod servers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.67GHZTotal Physical Memory 2GB, Available Physical Memory 815MBWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1Here is the dev serers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.80GHz2GB DDR2-SDRAMWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1I'm not sure what else to do, the query performance is an order ofmagnitude difference and I can't explain it. To me its is a hardware oroperating system related issue.Any Ideas would help me greatly!Thanks,Brian T*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

We have the same application installed on a few different environments with similar servers and similar hardward.  The only difference is the versions of SQL and the colations.
Is SQL 2005 a lot faster that SQL 2000?  Could colation type make a big effect on performance?

Db Performance

May 8, 2001

What's my best bet in getting better performance out of one of my database servers? Currently we have 1 set of Raid5 disks partitioned into 2 drives. This houses everything (system, database, and logs) If that server has 2 slots left for drives I was thinking of putting 2 mirrored drives and getting the logs off the main database space? (Make sense?) This is a vendored application so working with new indexes etc. isn't something I should do wo/ the vendor's interaction. Will what I describe above help?

Performance

Jun 26, 2001

We have SQL Server running on a dual processor Pentium 500mhz server. Our database is hit by about 300 users. 200 of those users are doing constant searches though a client table of about 250,000 records, which in turn is linked to a history table containing over 5,000,000 records. This is only the tip of the iceberg, we have many triggers, procedures, updates, etc. going in the background. The database has over 500 tables.

Keep in mind, these searches that are taking place can involve all kinds of fields: phone number, company name, fax number, first name, last name, status, wildcard searches, etc. So as you can imagine, the database is being hit with all kinds of funky requests to find records. I will be the first to admit that our developers (vendor) are not the best code writers, and we have a tough time getting them to optimize something they do not even understand themselves.

As I speak, our processor utilization is maxing out between 95 to 100 percent. I've done a lot of performance tuning and all of the problems lie in the searching. We've built, tested, rebuilt, re-tested each and every index. I even used the Profiler to filter what I could. It has improved, but our database is growing at a rate of 10 megs a day (already close to 3 gigs, not that huge). I think I've optimized my indexes as best as I can considering all the fields and possibilities available to users to search for records.

For a database that requires all of these different search criteria, what would be a more optimal server? We are looking to purchase something ASAP. I could really use help from someone in a similar situation. It seems odd, in mind, that a company of 300 people would need to rely on a quad server (four processor capability.).

Thanks. JT

one of the processor is always above 90% utilization but the second is barely at 50%.

Will adding another processor help or are the processes locked to one processor.

The server is a dedicated sql server. nothing else is running on it.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
