ok i have intel dual core i have a conflict only in playing a game black hawk down it gives me a run stop error. locks up and has to be restarted. microsoft gave me a fix but when i do the fix it causes me to get a system dump error on the game. i can update my web site do anything else let daughter play her games or do her school work and nothing happens. i was told i needed to set up the dual core so that my programs dont conflict i am a moron when it comes to computers is there a fix for this or i am i just going to have to go back to single core processor for now thanks
We are in process of moving to 64 bit HP servers with sql2005 standard edition. We were just wondering which is better option, to get a server with 2 dual core processor or to get a srver with just 4 processor? How does SQL2005 handle the hypertheading of dual processor?
I am running MSSQL 2005 Standard edition on a two processor Intel Xeon 3GHz (dual-core) with 8GB RAM.
I notice in "Windows task manager CPU performance" while running a long SQL statement (takes 1.5 hours), only 1 logical (out of 4) is utilised at >70%. The remaining 3 logical processors hover around 10%
Using Performance monitor, the average read queue, write queue, and pages/sec also hovers around 25%, indicating no heavy physical disk/memory loading.
How can I set to utilise more physical/logical processor to improve the MSSQL performance ?
Hi,Is there a reason why we have to pay more for licensing for a differentkind of processor?Why are we not charged for the Hyperthreading on some processors also.If Oracle is really conserned about the low end business market (smalland medium), then they should drop their attitude on Dual Coreprocessors.If they start charging as if it was a normal processor, and ask thenormal price, then they would get more of this market coming in.As long as Oracle keeps on having the attitude of charging more,because Intel or some other cpu vendor decided to mprove theirprocessors because of overheating problems, I will have the attitudethat I will keep on reoccomending alternatives for Orcle like Mysql /Postgre sql / Sybase, etc to the small/medium sector.Microsoft's pricing model on double core processors suddenly soundallot better.Oracle are shooting themselves in the foot! Or am I the only personfeeling this way?Shaun O'Reilly
I am running SQL7 SP2 on a Compaq Proliant 5500 (NT4 Server SP6a) with dual processor. When trying to schedule any jobs with DTSRUN I get the following error:
DTSRun.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x77f64d7b" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be read.
I currently have a single proc server in production and want to maintain a spare server that is dual-proc.
Is there a technical problem installing a single license SQL 2000 Standard on a dual-proc server? WIll it allow it or is it actually just a legal licensing requirement?
We are in the process of replacing a computer that currently has SQL 2005 Management Studio Express installed. We are looking at a Intel Core 2 Quad processor (Q6700) and want to know if SQL will be able to make full use of a quad core. Thanks
I am planning to build a server to be used as a SQL Server and web server.Right now I can only use a single box for both.I have read some threads were dual processors are having problems with someparallel queries and the suggestions of having sql server use a single CPU.My budget is limited so I am debating whether to get 2.6G dual xeon 533FSBor dual P4 800FSB (DRR@ ram) or stick with a speedy single cpu.If I get a dual cpu motherboard, is it a good idea to have 1 cpu used forsql server and the other for everything else?John Dalberg
i want to draw a bitmap programaticaly and store it to a db.when i try to display it from the db the drawings appear in a black back ground . how can i solve this problem.
i restore the bitmap by using a dataset and data bind contrls from
visual studio designer and codes to draw and store the bitmap is here :
"Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."
I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).
Problem: We have a set of sql queries and one core duo processor. We want one subset of queries would be executed on first core of our CPU and the rest of queries would be executed on the second core of CPU. We are using MS SQL Server 2005 – Workgroup edition.
Is there any way how to do this with one instance of SQL Server or with two instances at least (is there any way how to force an instance A to use CPU1 (first core of core duo CPU) and instance B to use CPU2 (second core of core duo CPU)) ?
The number of data files within a single filegroup should equal to the number of CPU cores. So for a quad core CPU there should be 4 data files. Is there anything that one need to take care besides creating the data files for a filegroup. I belieev SQL takes care of itself how to update data files .
We just purchased a Quad Core xeon server. It it my understanding that express can only utilize a single cpu/core. Is there a way I can setup windows or ms sql server to dedicate one particular core soley for ms sql?
I'm wondering if it is possible to have two independent y-axes on a single chart?
I am wanting to plot data using a hybrid bar/line chart and have the values for the vertical bars show on the left y-axis and the values for the points on the line show on the right y-axis.
I've seen this sort of thing done on other platforms before, but don't know if it is possible with SQL Reporting. We are using SQL RS 2000 by the way.
We have a 200MHz Pentium Pro based machine, with 128MB RAM running SQL Server 6.5. Because of performance issues, we are contemplating an upgrade to a dual 200MHz Pentium Pro processor with 256MB RAM. However, the vendor we are dealing with has suggested an upgrade to a single Pentiun II/333MHz first, and if this still causes problems, then to a dual P II/333MHz. Does anyone have any suggestions from similar upgrades that they may have undergone? We have 72MB allocated to SQL Server.
I have created a C# Windows Forms application that can be run connected directly to SQL Server 2005 (publisher) for in-office users and to a SQL Express (subscriber) on a tablet PC for remote users. The server is set through configuration and the remote users sync using replication and it all works.
The issue I'm having is that I've found it necessary to install SQL Server management objects (SQLServer2005_XMO) on the clients who sit at desktops and never use replication or SMO. I believe this is because SMO has to be installed in the GAC and I can't just distribute the required dlls with my app.
Is there any way I can deploy this app to always connected users without installing SMO on their machines?
Is performance of web application (ASP.NET + SQL Server 2005 Wrg edition + Win Server 2003 Web edition) running on server with one core duo/4 CPU generally comparable to the performance of the same application running on the same server with 2/4 physical CPU’s?
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.
Hi I am trying to populate a table with 2 FKs as its PK (SiteID and ProductDescID). First 1) I add in all the products whose Manfacturer and Category are supposed to appear on the site and then 2) I add in all the extra products that are needed regardless of their manufacturer or category. The problem I am having is if the product has already been added to the ProductCatTable due to its Manufacturer or Cateogry but is also in the SatForceProduct table. The can’t insert duplicate PK error is thrown. I don’t know how to do this IF NOT EXISTS statement (or what ever else may be needed) so that I can check whether a line from the Forced table needs to be added. I am not passing in any parameters and I am expecting more than 1 line to be inserted in each of the statements. Please help -- 1) Populate INSERT INTO dbo.ProductCatTable (SiteID, ProductDescID) SELECT dbo.SatSite.SiteID, dbo.ProductDesc.ProductDescID FROM dbo.SatManu INNER JOIN dbo.ProductDesc ON dbo.SatManu.Manu = dbo.ProductDesc.Manu INNER JOIN dbo.SatCats ON dbo.ProductDesc.Cat = dbo.SatCats.Cat INNER JOIN dbo.SatSite ON dbo.SatManu.SatID = dbo.SatSite.SiteID AND dbo.SatCats.SatID = dbo.SatSite.SiteID 2) Add Force Ins IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT SiteID, ProductDescID FROM ProductCatTable WHERE ????????) BEGIN INSERT INTO dbo. ProductCatTable (SiteID, ProductDescID) SELECT SiteID, ProductDescID FROM dbo.SatForceProduct END Thanks in advance J
I am building a DTS Package that is moving data from our webstore (written in house) to a Warehouse Management System(WMS - Turnkey) and I've encountered a problem. both pieces of software have an orders table and an Ordered_Items table, related by the order_ID (makes sense so far). Here is the problem. The primary key on the webstore's Ordered_Items table is a single column (basically an Identity variable), while the primary key on the WMS's Ordered_Items table is a dual column primary key, between the Order_ID and the Order_LineID, so the data should be stored like:
OrderID Order_LineID 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 3 3 1 3 2 4 1
Get the Idea? So I have to create this new Order_LineID column. How can I accomplish this with a SQL statement?
We are trying to work with our developers to upgrade to SQL 2000 from SQL 7 for a critical applicaion and all looks good in testing for the most part. The concern that our developers have is that in order for the application to work on the test SQL 2000 server they had to delete a core data type (bigint) for the application to work. It doesn't appear to have any negative affects and we know for sure that the application database does not need that data type at all. Can someone verify that there are no requirements for SQL 2000 needing to have this data type? They are worried that something within SQL may rely on it and we would find out the hard way in production possibly.
Hi,I've been creating a db application using MS Access and MSDE. Only twoof us are using the application, and the server and the app both rungreat on my laptop (1.6 GHz Pentium M, 2GB RAM, W2KPro). Only problemis when I take my laptop home, my coworker loses access to the server.We recently purchased a dedicated server to run the db on at theoffice. It's a 2.8 GHz Dual Xeon, 2GB RAM, running XPPro. We alsobought SQL Server, but I installed the Personal Edition becuase we arenot using a server OS. It's my understanding that XP can utilize bothprocessors, and the Personal Edition can use both processors as well.(On a side note, why is Enterprise Manager showing that I have 4processors - why?) In addition, I understand PE has a work-loadgovernor that cripples performance when more than 5 TSQL commands arebeing run simultaneously.I backed up the db on my laptop and restored it on our new server. Butwhen I run the exact same queries with the exact same number of rows,my queries on the new server are take 3x longer(!?). Can someoneplease offer a few suggestions for why this is happening? What can Ido to improve performance on the server machine?Please let me know if I need to supply more information.Thanks,Alex
