I have gotten mixed comments on this topic. I have a 64 bit machine running 64 windows 2003 standard and 64 SQL 2005 standard with 8 GB of RAM. We want to upgrade it to 32 GB. What is the best approach to do this? Dynamic or Stattic giving min and max server memory a value ? and if static what value should I use for 32 GB knowing that this box is only being used for SQL.

Can someone give me some help on find out the memory limit for SQL Server 7.0 and how to limit the memory being used by the SQL Server?
Thank you very much in advance!

hai,
once again pavan. i need some clarification on this issues
how sql server allocates memeory for the instances.
means
procedure cache
buffer cache
log cache
system data structure.
could you please provide information regarding this issue

I have windows 2003 with ms sql 2000. The machine has 3.6 gigs of ram and only runs ms sql, nothing else.
Whenever the first query is made sql will allocate as much as 1.5 gigs of ram which is just killing the system. This system reboots nightly so this first query happens every morning.
We have tried setting the min and max memory of sql, as well as the reserver memory setting to see if it will preallocate all that memory but we've had no luck.
Is there a way to make SQL allocate all that memory ahead of time? maybe make it cache some tables or something?
I know very little about MS SQL so please be very descriptive about possible solutions or troubleshooting steps.
Thanks,

How to find how much memory allocated to SQLCLR by sqlserver. Also is there any way to determine how much memory my code needs to run? Thanks in advance.

I run checkdb in QA and it works fine any ideas?
Thanks.
I'm log shipping to AWS. Currently, we are shipping from a server with 64 GB RAM to one at AWS with 30. It's not a massive server but does have periods of high usage when certain jobs/tasks run. It's been running fine for a year but the server size is large and is barely used. My understanding is that for simply log shipping, we don't need a lot of memory and I was hoping to drop the instance size down and use an instance with 16 GB Ram instead. It would save thousands per year.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to ask regarding the memory allocation fo SQL Server 2000. For example if my Data Server have 8GB physical memory installed how much memory can SQL Server 2000 utilize? Based on my research and understing SQL 2000 Server can only utilize 3GB memory? But using the AWE you can set the memory to a maximum server memory?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI’m setting up a server for development that will have one instance of SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition and one of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition installed.
The server has a total of 3.5 GB of physical memory, so I was wondering about the best way to allocate the memory. Should I just let both instances have the default allocation and let them fight it out for memory as needed, or allocate a memory limit for each instance?

I am setting up a server under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (SP1) and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition (SP4). The new server is a AMD opteron with 32 GB of memory. I noticed that PAE is enabled automatically by Windows 2003. Should I enable AWE for SQL Server 2000 and specify Max and Min amount of memory for SQL Server ?? Is there a limit on how much I could specify in MAX memory for SQL??
This is the first time I have a server with so much memory so I want to make sure that I do the right thing. In the past I only have servers with 8 GB of memory and we just enable AWE and specify Max memory to 6 GB or so.
Any advise is very much appreciated. Thanks,
There is an error called:
memory allocation failure
How to fix it?
Hi,From a previous sys-admin I inherited a a MS-SQL (2000) machine with 3instances. It is a nice machine with 4 Gb of memory but the memory allocationis very weird:Instance A: 1400MbInstance B: 1000MbInstance C: 80Mb (!)Instance C is performing badly under a bit of pressure which seems not strangeconsidering these allocations.With that in mind, is there a way to check and re-allocate memory? I'd like tosee if the instances really need these amounts of memory and if not, to movesome over to other instances.Thanks!Dries Bessels

View 1 Replies View RelatedHere is what I am trying to do...
I want to goup "members" togethers in a "group."
A table for members and a table for groups.
each containing coluns...
but inside Groups I would like a column that contains ID numbers for the members that be long to that group.
Being that members can belong to multiple groups - I can not use a GroupID in Members - if so I also need a way of it modular.
Obvisiously I am not a very good DB programmer - but I want the least amount of empty/unused space in my tables.
Hope this makes sense
Hi,
I am trying to partition the table i have into 10 partitions based on the last digit of the employee ID.
The following is the logic I tried to use but was not successful.
Code Snippet
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION PartitionRange (INT)
AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME PartitionScheme AS
PARTITION PartitionRange
ALL TO ([PRIMARY])
create TABLE PartitionedTable
(
counter INT ,
string CHAR(8000) ,
EmpID INT,
UpdateDate datetime
)
ON
PartitionScheme (EmpID % 10)
Any suggestions on how I can make the logic work as required.
Thanks in advance.

dear experts,
i heard in a session, that the tables which are modifying continuously are known as dynamic tables.and which are not are known as static tables.
my question is how to find the statics to judge static and dynamic tables?
Hi All,
We're currently preparing for a project for a bank client of ours where we would be using SQL Server 2008's data mining capabilities.
In the context of the out-of-the-box algorithms of SQL08 does the algorithms Logistics, Clustering and Logistic Regression includes Dynamic Logistics, Dynamic Clustering and Dynamic Logistic Regression?

I want to distinguish between static SQL, dynamic SQL, and embeddedSQL, but couldn't find too much useful resources in the web.For example, if we put SQL statements (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, etc...)inside an application (e.g. Java application, VB application, etc...),do we consider those SQL statements as static SQL? or embedded SQL?How about dynamic SQL? any practical examples?Please advise. thanks!!
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn one step of an SSIS package, i create an outgoing XLS filename based on the current datetime setting, a la:
"myFileName_" + (DT_WSTR,4)YEAR( getdate()) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)MONTH( getdate()),2)+
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DAY( getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("hh", getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mi", getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("ss", getdate()),2) +".xls"
which provides the format as myFileName_yyyymmddhhmmss.xls.
This value is then assigned to a variable, user::myFilenameDateTime.
This variable is referred to in various steps which need the full pathname or filename.
I found, though, that in subsequent steps, the value for user::myFilenameDateTime is re-calculated whenever the variable is invoked.
So in one Task i created the physical output XLS file and named it "correctly", eg, myFileName_20070428090204.xls; in the next Task, i call a Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2005 to email the file with a corresponding message (that pulls in more data from the database).
The single Parameter to the Stored Procedure (that does the emailing) is the supposed/expected full Pathname of the outgoing file just produced but the parameter no longer represents the original filename -- and has changed slightly (a few seconds have been added) and the filename is now, myFileName_20070428090210.xls; consequently, my Email Distribution program cannot find the file with that specific name, although File = myFilename_20070428090204.xls does certainly exist.
so it appears that these variables are calculated realtime whenever encountered.
1) Am I misunderstanding something or misusing the variable assignment?
2) How can i keep << myFileName_yyyymmddhhmmss.xls >>, "static" throughout the duration of the overal SSIS Process.
3) I would think that even if I assign the derived myFileName value initially to ANOTHER "static" variable, this won't achieve anything because the new variable will be re-calculated again, as well, when it is invoked.

Hi every one,
Could you please anyone tell me how to have static and dynamic columns in a matrix?
We can add static columns by right clicking detail text box and add column. But it will repeat for each column group. I need static columns in the dynamic columns level itself.
Thanks in advance!
I need to put a dynamic table (the amount of rows I control) into a static container (with a fixed size).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to setup a dynamic ole db connection using the SA user ID, it has to be dynamic because the server name will change and it has to be SA because we're pulling information from system databases that some users don't have access to.
If I setup a regular static connection using SA credentials it works like a charm of course. When I create an expression to use the User:erver variable it doesn't work, it throws an error message saying that "The login failed for user sa" among other things, I'm thiking that the sa's password is not being saved.
Where exactly do I place a password for dynamic connections using sql server users? On the connection string? On the password property of the source? Any ideas?
I'm using Delphi 2006 to create a DLL which will be integrated into SQL 2005. It's been a long road and I've made a lot of headway, however I am currently having the following problem creating the stored procedure:
My dll name is 'Crystal_Reports_Test_01'
In the DLL, my class is named 'Class01'.
In the DLL, my procedure is named 'TestMe'
I've managed to integrate the DLL into SQL using the following statement:
CREATE ASSEMBLY TEST_ERIC_01
AUTHORIZATION dbo
FROM 'c:mssqlassembliescrystalreports.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
I am attempting to create the stored procedure which points to the 'TestMe' method inside of the DLL. FYI: 'CrystalReports' is the namespace above my class that I had to add in order to get it to locate the class. The following code is used to create the stored procedure:
create procedure dbo.Crystal_Reports_Test_01(
@Parm1 nvarchar(255)
)
as external name TEST_ERIC_01.[CrystalReports.Class01].TestMe
But I get the following error:
Msg 6573, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Crystal_Reports_Test_01, Line 1Method, property or field 'TestMe' of class 'CrystalReports.Class01' in assembly 'CrystalReports' is not static.
I'm not sure what this means exactly. I think it means the method (the procedure) is not using Static method binding but should be. I have no idea what this really means or how to accomplish this in the DLL - or if I'm even going about this in the right way.
Any help would be appreciated ! I'll post the Delphi code (DLL) below.
Thanks,
Eric Gooden
library CrystalReports;uses System.Reflection, System.Runtime.InteropServices;...................type Class01 = class public procedure TestMe([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] var sVarString: wideString); export; end;procedure Class01.TestMe([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] var sVarString: wideString); export;begin sVarString:= 'Lets change the value and see if the stored proc. gets the change.';end;end.
I have some data in Excel - sheet1 which would be static.
Now I need to import data from SQL Server (using a query) and Union above static data with this SQL data and later I will have to create PowerPivot table in Sheet2.
Which is suitable option for me to import data from SQL to excel as I see "From SQL Server" option under "Data" and "Power Query" tab as well.

Does anyone mess with this feature? they say that you don't have to change this setting in sql2000. I have 3 gigs of memory and have it still set to dynamically configure the memory. I don't know if i should change this to a fixed memory size, if i did how do you tell what value to set it at? What are the pros and cons if I set it to fixed? Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a person who just recomended to a customer to use Fixed instead of Dynamic for the SQL Server Memory setting informing me that I was wrong for setting it to use Dynamic.
Well I tried to explain that why would you want to give away memory if you do not need to, he just answered that I was wrong, any help in proving me wrong or him wrong?
Which way is the correct way. I was told by a very bright person with a strong background in the developement of SQL that when it was written it was done so with the word "fixed" memory size was done in lower case just as a reminder that you can but should never use "fixed" that you should always use Dynamic (which by the way does use a capitol "D"...)

Hi,
I need to create a 5GB database with 4GB for data and 1GB for log in v7.0. I know that in v6.5 I would have created five 1GB devices - to go easy on the backups.
Could someone please advise on how I should distibute allocation of space.
Should I allocate 1GB to the primary files and 1GB each to 3 secondary files?
Should I just allocate 4GB to primary?
I would really really appreciate any reponse? If there are articles I would appreciate links.
Thanks

I have a small data warehouse which periodically has old data deleted.
However after a delete the free space within the database is not released. If I copy the tables, drop them, recreate, and copy back, the space is there.
Any ideas what is causing this anyone ?
Thanks
I was wondering, is there a way to allocate processors to SQL2000. I have a server that has 4 processors, I would like to leave one just for the operating system and have SQL2000 use the other 3. Is this possible and do you think it would be recomended to do this? Or should i just leave the 4 processors for everything?
thanks in advance

Hi,
can some one throw some light on how the DBAs calucaulate the space allocations?
For example I have 30000 records which has 30 columns each defined as varchar(100) and if the db is full and wants to increase the space. Then how much extrac space should be allocated??
Any comments, please. I have a new server 5x160GB drives. It needs to run IIS for a web app and SQL Server 2005. One user database. I was thinking of dividing space as follows and wanted to get some thoughts from others.
2 drives = RAID 1 set, 160GB space, OS, IIS, SQL exe, tempDB, user database log file
3 drives = RAID 5 set, 320GB space, SQL data files, user database files
Thanks for looking...
