I have a server which is using total of 12 cores running an instance of SQL server. I was told to dedicate only 8 cores of CPU to be used by the instance for licensing purposes.
what the best way is to go about limiting CPU cores?
I've read here at [URL] that with 32 bit it's recommended to only have 10 database mirrors per instance. However, is there a limit for 64 bit SQL Server 2012?
We're having a problem where we have about 300+ databases and now any new db's we add are timing out when it comes to setting up mirroring and am wondering if this is limited by the instance.
I have got a question on max degree of parallelism and CPU cores.
If max degree of parallelism = 1, this signifies that sql will use serial execution plan (unless u change it in query level with MAXDOP hint). In serial plan, will the query use all CPU cores (say in my server I have 16 core processors)?
If in serial execution plan only one thread works, then what the other threads doing ? Idle (I may have a defined max server worker thread = 32767(by default)
Unable to create a relationship between this parameters.
Is there a performance limit on the number of indexes per table / database ? With Filtered indexes there appear to be many more opportunities for more finely defined, and therefore smaller indexes resulting in many more indexes on a single table.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible in SQL Server 2005 to limit the number of processors used? For cost reasons, we are consolidating servers and want to start running SQL Server 2005 on one of our dual-processor Win2K3 machines instead of the standalone machine it's currently running on. Because we have about 75 users, it's only cost effective to purchase a processor license (vs. a server license with CALs). But right now we only need and can only afford a single processor license, not two. So...
Is there any way in 2005 to limit the number of processors used so that we only need to purchase one processor license? I know in 2000 you could set this on the "Processor" tab of the "SQL Server Properties" dialog. In 2005, is this accomplished by unchecking the "Processor Affinity" and "I/O Affinity" checkboxes for processor #2 on the "Processors" page of the "Server Properties" dialog? If I uncheck these two options does that fully disable SQL Server 2005 from accessing the second processor in any way? From things I've read I can't tell if it restricts access to the second processor completely or if it just places some limitations on the ways it accesses the second processor.
Also, the licensing information for SQL Server 2005 leads me to believe that if you are going down the "processor licensing" route that you have to buy a processor license for every processor that the OS itself has access to and not just what processors SQL Server has access to. I thought I understood that in SQL Server 2000 the licensing information did allow you to buy a processor license just for each processor that SQL Server 2000 had access to, but has that changed for 2005?
Hope someone can provide some clarification on limiting processor access and the licensing implications for SQL Server 2005.
Thanks,
Scott
Can multiple instances of SQL Server be installed on the same machine under the same license? For example, a named instanced called WAREHOUSE and another called CHGMGMTSYS.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a small SQL server for up to 10 users. If I understand the EULAs and FAQs correctly, there is no limit on the number of users imposed by the SQL Server 2005 Express license. If so, then the number of users is only limited by the OS's license so all I need is SQL Server 2005 Express (free), Windows XP Pro (10 users limit) and no CALs for either Windows or SQL Server.
I'd be thankful if someone could verify this.
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

Hi,
Here's my problem.
I have an Area Chart, and I need to plot more than 300,000 records. Problem is RS cannot seem to handle this huge dataset.

HI all !
I am having a bit of a problem trying to limit a number of columns in a matrix appearing on a page.
At the moment, I have a dataset that lists the month and the mail packages that were sent during the month
The matrix works great HOWEVER, if there were more than 8 months in the matrix columns, it does not break and would make the page look like a huge landscape page.
I am trying to limit the number of columns appearing (this is the months column) on the matrix so that the pages stay in a potrait position. IE: every 8 columns appear on one page. Is there an option or an expression I could use in the Matrix ?
Thanks!

Is there a limit of how many rows a table can have in SQL compact Edition? I didn't find anything in the documentation, but I get regularly a funny error message "Expression evaluation caused an overflow. [ Name of function (if known) = ]" when I try to create record number 32768 (is equal to 2 to the power of 15).
Where is this limit documented ?

Hi There,
I would like to know what the recommended Number of Sql Mobile Databases Per Application?
I appreciate any response!
Thanks!
In my ASP page, when I select an option from the drop down list, it has to get the records from the database stored procedure. There are around 60,000 records to be fetched. It throws an exception when I select this option. I think the application times out due to the large number of records. Could some tell me how to limit the number of rows to be returned to avoid this problem. Thanks.

I configured an SSIS package to collect information about servers in our environment and as a part of it the package collects the Physical and Logical CPU's. Since we are on per-core licensing for SQL Servers, i would need to get the exact core count. I can simply do Logical cpu / Physical CPU to get the Core count assuming that hyperthreading is turned on. What if the hyperthreading is not on, then i would end up getting the wrong Core count.
I query the registry to get this info. I would like to get your inputs for getting the exact core count on Windows servers with Intel and AMD processors.

Our development team wanted to create a database user for each application user in the application and use these for granular data access control, which at first, sounded like a good idea but our initial testing ran into some interesting results.
Our target user base was about 15 million users with an estimated 1% concurrency rate, and finding no MS documentation on an upper limit to the number of users a database can have we began some load testing to see how the database performed. In the hundreds of thousands of users range our test database had a hard time performing well under light loads (even without any concurrent connections).
When we purged the users and reverted back to just a handful of service accounts, performance went back to "normal" under the same loads. I began to wonder if this is a situation where throwing more hardware at the problem would overcome the issue or if there is a practical upper limit to the number of users a single database can handle well.
(There were of course other cons to this arrangement and I certainly was never going to expand the users tree in the object explorer for a database like this, but we thought it a solution worth investigating.)
What is the largest number of users any of you have had in a single database?
