Just downloaded a not too great white-paper (sponsored by HP) called SQL Server Infrastucture Optimaztion and it had a brief but eye catching section on something called 'Pooled Resource Clustering'. See below
Pooled-Resource Clustering
Pooled-resource clustering is a combination, of sorts, of Windows clustering and virtualization.
Essentially, it€™s a means of allowing SQL Server instances to become €śvirtual SQL Servers€? in
the sense of true VMs. They€™re encapsulated and can be easily and quickly moved between
physical computers. It borrows concepts from Windows clustering but does so with a crucial
difference that eliminates the resource management overhead that comes along with Windows
clustering. Another term for this technique is shared storage clustering.
Technology Overview
With pooled-resource clustering, a cluster of servers€”which can all have different hardware
specifications€”are connected to a single, shared storage system (typically a SAN). By
leveraging a Windows-based cluster file system, each of the nodes in the cluster can €śsee€? the
same storage area. That is, they all have (for example) an S drive,
I googled this and can't find any more about it. So my question is simple can anyone provide more info about this method. I tried tried the authors web site burt its all sales info address(
I got this system error log in the event viewer every time I start the SQL Server cluster resource:
The Microsoft Clustering Service failed restore a registry key for resource SQL Server when it was brought online. This error code was 2. Some changes may be lost.
Even though the SQL seems to be working fine now, I won't know if something drastic will happen later. :confused:
Searching the Internet for resolution, I saw this article. The Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 307469 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=307469) requires using the Windows Server 2003 ClusterRecover utility to reset the server cluster check points.
I've not tried it because I don't know if this is the correct solution or if it will work or not.
Can I even solve the error without using the above utility? I also cannot afford to reinstall the clustering or SQL server. :mad:
We have 2 env. : Testing and Production, both are running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SQL Server 2005. The difference is Testing is NOT running Windows cluster but Production do so, what is the best way to transfer a database from testing to production?
We have another systems that both testing and production are running on NON-cluster and we use backup/restore to transfer the database, can it apply in this case.
And I found that there are a tools called DTC, which can transfer all DB objects from one DB to another, is it a best way to transfer between non-cluster and cluster env.?
In Oracle & Sybase you can set login resource limits to restrict, time of day, number of i-o's, cpu use etc for any login, at the login method. All actions done from a resource limit constrained login inherit the constraints.
Is there any way to implment this with any MS SQL Server version from 200-2005/SP2?
Before anyone answers, please do not suggest set rowcount etc. thanks.
I have a deadlock chain that shows 9 parallel insert jobs into the same table. The resource that is locked (with an exclusive lock) shows a HOBT_ID...which corresponds to a clustered index.
My question is how would INSERT statements cause a whole index to lock (there is no TABLOCK hint).
I would like to know witch is the best practices to make a .rdl file multilenguaje, that is, that the same .rdl file shows the text €śAmount€? on a label when the user is English or the text €śCantidad€? when the user is Spanish.
There are not something like the resource files in the in a VS.NET web application????
I am new to SSIS, and have been struggling recently with SSIS development. I would like to find out if there are some good books out there on SSIS besides, the online resources, and BOL. Possibly a good book or tutorials. Thanks.

What are some good CASE programming to use in comjuction with SQL 7. What are some good resources for researching. Also, are there any good DB confrences coming up?
I use cursors inside stored procedures, they are generally 20 - 50 records. I have been told that cursors are very resource intensive. Am I setting myself up for scaling problems when we have hundreds of users all running these procedures? The cursors are only used within the context of the stored procedure. Any opinions/insight on this would be appreciated.
I'm attempting to update a table of around 100,000 records with a table of 20,000 records using a cursor since the update is based on a row by row criteria. When doing this I'm getting an error
--Resource is low some results are dropped--
I then cut down the table with 20,000 to a table of 5,000 and still get the same error. I've also tried to use a fast_forward cursor but still no luck Can any-one help. I know there is a way to do this using a quick update statement but I need to know this for other insert statements anyway. Help Help

We have a JDBC project that works with SQLServer, along with otherDBs. During development, we noticed that resource useage on SQLServerseemed to grow steadily - Processes, Process Locks and/or Object Locks,according to the "Current Activity" section of Enterprise Manager.Fairly quickly (a few hours), SQLServer would use so many resources itused up all available system memory and the system would crash.Without understanding much about why that was happening, mostly out oftrial and error, we started using transactions, which seemed to fix theproblem. Now, one of our customers seems to be seeing the problem again:511 Process Locks, 18 Object Locks, 526 Processesafter a few hours. The system runs out of memory and crashes. We havemultiple test configurations, including Linux, Win2K, XP, but we donot see the same behaviour - we typically see no more than 20 or 30processes, process locks or object locks, and our tests seem to runindefinitely. Since we can not reliably reproduce the symptoms that ourcustomer sees, it is very difficult for us to analyze, let alone, fixthe problem.Does anyone - especially SQLServer pros - have any insight as to what isgoing on here and/or how to fix it? Like how does a process, processlock or object lock relate to JDBC? process <-> connection,object <-> row, table... or what, locks?Thanks,Gary WhittenJoin Bytes!
I have a 2005 server that is upgraded to SP2 and the error log indicates it is version 9.00.3042.00. However, the system resource database for the same server is reporting as version 9.00.2047.00. From another post I have found out the some replication problems I am having are due to this discrepancy.
I have reapplied SP2 hoping it would change the resource db version, but it did not. Is there another way I can upgrade the resource db without re-installing SQL from scratch?

I was watching Bob Tabor's SQL Server 2005 Express for Beginners videos from the ASP.net 2.0 website http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/default.aspx?. In lesson 5 Manipulating the Database Data he refers to download the sample database SQLVideoResources.zip file from the above website.
I searched and did not find it. Can anyone please direct me?
I am using SSIS for sending E-Mails based on certain transactions in SQL Server. I need to dynamically populate the E-Mail content as the content some times needs to be in Japanese text. I would like to use resource files for this. Could anyone please help me on using resource files in SSIS.

I got a task to get resource consumption (CPU, storage etc.) for stored procedures in certain database. I found nice script ([dbo].[usp_Worst_TSQL]) but looks like script written for SQL 2005 and we use SQL 2012.how to get resource consumption details.
I`m having difficulty performing a SQL dump using a network drive. I have successfully created a backup device on a network drive but when I go to perform a backup using it I get the following error message: "Can`t open dump device `RSS4DATARSA3_Dump.Dat`, device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)" I can successfully perform a backup using a local drive but not this network drive. I have checked the permissions on the network drive and is seems ok. I use the following command to try to perform the backup: "DUMP DATABASE RSA3 TO DISK = `Rss4DataRSA3_Dump.Dat WITH STATS = 10, INIT". Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I get the message when loading the bcp. I check the path variable and the sqlserver BINN directory is there, but twice. If I try opening the command window and write bcp, I get the error, if I enter the whole path c:...80 oolinncp there is no problem. I wonder what could it be?
I've manually reinstalled many times but still having trouble.
Thanx in advance

Hi All,Can anyone explain me, why we have Resource and Distribution SystemDatabase in SQL Server 2005. Whether they were also available inprevious versions also.Thanks in Advance.Regards,Om
Hi, I am using OPENROWSET command to read from a dbf file in Transact-SQL of SQL Server 2005. Query runs fine for a few tries after that i get the error: OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] System resource exceeded.]
If a restart the Server everything works fine, but then the problem starts again. I saw a related postinf with no acceptable answer, unfortunately.
Hi, I am going through the BOL for Sql Server 2005 and i came across the topic of RESOURCE DATABASE. But when i checked in the system databases in the object explorer there was no resource database can anybody tell me where can i find the resource database
I have a few questions about the amounts of resources used by the fuzzy grouping transformation. I am running a little less than 5mil records through a fuzzy grouping that exact matches one column and fuzzy matches one. The server executing the package is a dual-core xeon with 2gb ram, running a default instance of sql 2005 enterprise.
I have been attempting to execute this package for a while now but it keeps erroring out for various reasons. At first, it was from a lack of available memory. I limited the memory usage of sql server to 256mb and set the buffer temp storage path, which alleviated those errors. However, now, my tempdb transaction log is growing significantly. It failed once for not being able to grow and reallocate quickly enough, but enlarging the auto-growth factor fixed that. Then, it filled up the volume the tempdb log was on, so now I have moved it to the san and am about to try again.
I was wondering, does anyone have a general idea on approximate resource usage by fuzzy grouping? Specifically, is there an approximate relation between the number of records grouped and the amount of ram/pagefile required? Also, on the database backend, how big can I expect the tempdb data/log files to get?
I've got a problem: in few months from now my IDs (int) will reach max positive value. The only viable solution is to convert int-s to bigint-s.
There is a story behind this but I believe it's irrelevant. Simply, I need to 'upgrade' int-s to bigint-s; let's take it as a fact.
Question is: is there a formula to calculate increase in disk and RAM consumption? If we presume I'd need to have same number of pages in buffer cache, how can I calculate how much more memory I need?
Just to ease calculation, let's suppose that I have single table with 1e6 rows and 3 columns:
ID (int), PARENT_ID (int) and NAME (NVARCHAR(30)).Â
PK is on ID (let's call it PK_ID) and there are 2 indexes on PARENT_ID (i.e. IX_PARENT) and NAME (IX_NAME).
Now, if I turn int-s into bigint-s and still want to keep entire table in cache, how I can calculate how much memory I'd need?
