SQL 2012 :: Faster Disk For MDF Or LDF?
Jul 31, 2014
We have a couple of 200GB databases that are recreated each night on a SQL2012 server connected to a disk array. The SQL disk is an auto-tiered combo of 10k and 7k drives in a RAID1 lun, and both data and log files are there.
Recently, some room has opened up on an older array that contains smaller, but many, 15k drives that I could use in a RAID1 config. Being that I'd like to split up the mdf and ldf files, which would you put onto the new (faster) disk?
EDIT: Add'l info: the only current performance issues I see in the SQL Log are FlushCache messages occuring throughout the night, when all activity happens for this DB. Things like this: "FlushCache: cleaned up 388690 bufs with 23474 writes in 409743 ms (avoided 179747 new dirty bufs) for db 47:0"

During investigation problem with disk i found some issue, that every 2 minutes is writing on disk , it looks like to mdf file of database, but in almost 6-8milions Bytes / sec , it is about 1-2 sec , but every 2minutes... this is normal behaviour ? this is synchonyous writing to disk from memory.

We can find free space on disks with 'xp_fixeddrives'.
I need script to find all disk size(total sizecapacity) in the servers?

We're having some issues with where our backups write to, so I've been watching and monitoring the performance, when I noticed today that restore labelonly from disk has been running almost non stop for the past few hours.
The account running the query is the SQL Server's service account, and the program is "Microsoft SQL Server".
Every minute or so the SPID changes which made me think it was related to the transaction logs, the "restore labelonly" runs for as long as each database in the transaction log backup.
Example: Database A transaction log backup takes 1 minute and the SPID XX for restore labelonly runs 1 minute
Database B transaction log backup starts and there is a new SPID for restore labelonly.
I hope this makes sense because I normally don't see this restore labelonly running.

I have a windows 2012 cluster environment that consists of two SQL servers nodes with Quorum disk configured as witness.
Manual failover between nodes is working fine, however the sql instance virtual is not seeing the Quorum disk.
Moreover the Quorum disk has the same number as another cluster storage disk, is that considered a problem?
When I move the SQL instance from a node to anohter, should the Quorum Disk change ownership as well to that destination node ? if it is not changing ownership what would be the problem??

I have a SQL Server 2012 DB in Full recovery mode that has never had a TLOG backup. the log is huge 200+GB.
I tried doing a transaction log backup but there is not enough space on the Disk.
How can I reclaim this log space in SQL Server 2012?

I am wondering what would be the best disk/RAID setup for a Windows server 2008 R2 OS and SQL Server 2012 database that has heavy read/write. I have the following disks I can use:
4x 15k 146GB
2x 10k 600GB
According to the server build requirements for the application, I need 100GB for the OS and 290GB for the drive containing the SQL mdf there are no stated requirements for the ldf, but would like to know if it should be allocated elsewhere?I should do RAID 10 for the 15k drives for SQL and RAID 1 for the OS on the 10k.

If I return the Average, Minimum, and Maximum values for the counter Physical Disk: Avg. Disk Queue Length, and those values are 10, 0, 87 respectively, which value do I use to compute the Avg. Disk Queue Length for a 4 disk array(RAID 10): Average, Minimum, or Maximum? The disk(lun) is on a SAN.

Hello,
I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
this is my configuration :
1) 3 disks in RAID5 that hold the SQL data
2) 1 disk in RAID0 that holds the only paging file.
What will happen to the SQL data (DB) when the disk that holds the paging file crashes?
Kindest regards,
Luc.

Hi all,
Ok here goes,
I have a three tier system using SQL server 2000, we are currently experiencing IO bottle necks on our SCSI Raid 10 array, which holds the Data and the logs in separate partitions.
So my options as I understand it are:
Get Enterprise edition
or
Get another physical raid 10 array and separate the logs and data i.e. data on one array and logs on the other array.
I would like to try the latter but I am totally unsure how much difference this will make or whether it will make any difference at all.
Does anyone know how much performance increase I will get from using two arrays as opposed to one?
Any other advice on this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I was just wondering if this can be done any faster? code-wise that is...
Don't mind the converts, can't do without them, as the data discipline for the source table isn't always reliable, while I have to be absolutely sure the destination data ends in the required format.
UPDATE MATCH_basistabel
SET MATCH_basistabel.matchfelt = convert(varchar(50),ALL_tbl_medlemsinfo.søgenavn),
MATCH_basistabel.søgenavn = convert(varchar(50),ALL_tbl_medlemsinfo.søgenavn),

There are also about 1000 rows inthe actual Buildings table. This will be a part of a stored procedure.

I want to know the # of users on our web site for each month in a given year. I'm looking for a faster way to do this--perhaps one that can leverage an index instead of reading the entire table! (My avg disk queue right now is above 7 and the query takes about 90 seconds).
Here's my current SP. Basically I'm calculating each month/year and using UNION to join them together, then pivot to rotate.

Hi all, I m new to this forum and this is my first question. I m having 2 pages in my web site ... page 1 query directly to db using sqldatasource, the second page query through a BLL then DAL by following the step in this tutorial (http://www.asp.net/learn/dataaccess/tutorial02vb.aspx?tabid=63).... Page 1 is using a "Like" query search and the Page 2 is the normal displaying some product detail.... Under normal circumstances, one will expect Page 1 will be way fastest than the Page 2... however the problem is Page 1 is in thunder speed while Page 2 takes 10 secs to load... 10 seconds is really not acceptable... I really couldnt figure out what happens... both Page 1 and Page 2 are using the same connection string which connection through a DSN.... How is the connection different by using sqldatasource and DAL?? Could someone please help.... ThanksP.S. I m using a Pervasive database

Hi y'all,
I've recently run a profiler on my code and following query took 7 seconds:
SELECT TOP 10 UI, COUNT(UI) AS Expr1 FROM table WHERE (UI <> 'custom_welcome') GROUP BY UI ORDER BY COUNT(UI) DESC
Is it possible to rewrite this so my code gets faster? It's also possible that it's due to the size of the table?
Thanks in advance! I'll let you know how long your query takes :)

I have a cursor prcedure that is pretty slow because as the cursor moves through the data I have three select statement on the same table to find other rows information. Is there a better way to do this?
Simple Example of Code is:
DECLARE MyVARABLES 1 to X
DECLARE c1 CURSOR
FOR
SELECT MyData1, MyData2 to X
FROM MyTable
FOR UPDATE OF MyUpdateData
--Start Cursor
OPEN c1
FETCH NEXT FROM c1
INTO MyVariables
--LOOP
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-----------------------
-- Get other rows data to add to this rows data ......GUESSING THIS IS THE SLOW PART as the table is LARGESELECT MyVar1 = MyData1
FROM MyTable
WHERE MyTableColumns = MyVariables AND MyTableColumns2 <> MyVariables2 --FINDS OTHER ROW (I have three of these)
--Calculate & Update
If MyVarable = 'this or that'
BEGIN
UPDATE MyTable
SET MyUpdateData = MyVar1 * x *y WHERE CURRENT OF c1
END
-------------------
-- NextFETCH NEXT FROM c1
INTO MyVarables 1 to xEND
CLOSE c1

Hi!
I M basically an application developer & use simple sql queries in my programmings. I do not have much idea abt tuning/auditing part & thatswhy i m unable to answer them properly in my interviews. Can anybody give me some tips?????
Question 1:
In a stored procedure, One SELECT stmt is there & depending upon the @rowcount, it updates around 14000 records which is also written inside this stored procedure. Instead of writing this way, there is some other way which is faster than this. Can anybody tell me the correct way???
Question 2:Can anybody give me few examples like this?????? I need them desparetly.
Thanx. Bye.

I´ve created a class to make some standard transaction development a little bit faster.

objTransaction = objConnection.BeginTransaction();
}
~DataTransaction()
{
if(objTransaction.Connection != null)
{
objTransaction = null;
objConnection.Close();
}
}
public int ExecuteNonQuery(string Query)
{
int intRowsAffected = -1;
SqlCommand objCommand = new SqlCommand(Query, objConnection, objTransaction);
try
{
intRowsAffected = objCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
blnError = true;
arrErrorList.Add(e.ToString());

Hi,
Previosuly I was executing 2 DTS packages one afte the other manually and together they took a CONSIDERABLE time. The 1st one was pulling data from the OLPT, doing transformations and populating the tables in my Datamart and the 2nd one was doing a FULL process of all the dimensions and cubes.
However I tried scheduling the DTSs as jobs and havethen merged the 2 resulting jobs as a SINGLE job having 2 sequential steps. To my surprise the resulting job takes less than half the time (actually even lesser) as compared with my original approach i.e. running the DTSs. And I am talking about major improvement in terms of completion of the tasks here :)
Am i getting over excited here or is this natural? I assume that if this is correct then jobs much be some sort of "compiled" version as compared to DTS and maybe that's why I have this terrific improvement in terms of execution times.
I'll appreciate comments. Thanks

I have rewritten a stored procedure that consists of a single select that selects from a view. Essentially I combined the select in the view and the select in the sp into one select. I am now trying to determine if the new version is faster.
The estimated execution plan gives a ratio of 96% : 4% in favour of the new version when I run them together from a query window but when I try to time them I can't get a satisfactory result.
If I run each query once and display the difference between start and end time, they display 0. If I run each one 100, 200, etc times I get different results each time.
Is there anything I can do?

Hypothetically,
If I had a WHERE clause that had to compare a string to another string would it be faster one way or another if I broke it down to three different, smaller searches?
An example:
WHERE a = 'abc'
OR a = 'def'
OR a = 'ghi'

Hi,
Previosuly I was executing 2 DTS packages one afte the other manually and together they took a CONSIDERABLE time. The 1st one was pulling data from the OLPT, doing transformations and populating the tables in my Datamart and the 2nd one was doing a FULL process of all the dimensions and cubes.
However I tried scheduling the DTSs as jobs and havethen merged the 2 resulting jobs as a SINGLe job having 2 sequential steps. To my surprise the resulting job takes less than half the time (actually even lesser) as compared with my original approach i.e. running the DTSs.
Am i getting over excited here or is this natural? I assume that if this is correct then jobs much be some sort of "compiled" version as compared to DTS and maybe that's why I have this terrific improvement in terms of execution times.
I'll appreciate comments. Thanks

A little background on my database structure:
I have a live database and an archive database. I update the archive tables once a day from the live tables using:
INSERT INTO arc_table
SELECT * FROM cur_table AS cur
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM arc_table AS arc
WHERE arc.key = cur.key)
GO
This inserts newer records into the archive tables from the live tables.
I have two different methods to clean the live tables once a week but keep data from the previous week. Both methods have been verified to delete the same rows.
DELETE cur_table
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT key FROM arc_table AS arc
WHERE arc.key = cur_table.key)
AND date_time < GetDate() - 7
GO
Second method modified from BOL - deletes identical rows
DELETE cur_table
FROM (SELECT key FROM arc_table) AS arc
WHERE arc.key = cur_table.key
AND date_time < GetDate() - 7
GO
I read that "WHERE [NOT] EXISTS" is faster than "WHERE [NOT] IN" but this is the first time I have seen DELETE xx FROM (SELECT ----)
I'd like to know which procedure will be faster and/or better.
