Hello, I've been reading about this topic, and I've gotten myself more
confused, not less.
We have a single-processor license SQL Server Standard 2005 (xeon 2.8
ghz) with 4 GB RAM in Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard.
I turned on the /3GB switch in boot.ini but not PAE or AWE, would it be
good to have either one??
Quote:
I know the standard Microsoft recommendation is to make the pagefile at least 1.5 to 3 times larger then the amount of physical memory. However, if you're talking about a server with lots of memory such as 16GB or 32GB, would following this rule be unnecessary. With SQL 2000 running on Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 I typically see pagefile usage no more then 12% for a 2GB pagefile. Anything over 15% means I need to look at other indicators to see if a memory bottleneck has developed. If I have 32GB of physical memory and make the pagefile only 1.5 x 32GB I have a 48GB pagefile. 10% of this is 4.8GB, which I would hope I never see consumed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dave
We are currently using SQL 2000 Standard with W2K Standard and theserver has 3Gb of RAM. SQL is currently occupying 1.85Gb of memorywhich I believe is the maximum for this version of the OS. I believe Iam at my limitations with my current versions of software. Myquestions are:1) Is the version of SQL Standard actually different than theEnterprise edition. Will my database run on Enterprise if it runs onStandard?2) The same questions goes for the operating system? If my code runson W2k Standard will it run on Advanced Server?Thanks a lot...
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan you please consider the following scenario:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (32-bit)
SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition
Server with 8GB memory
1. If we enable /3GB and /PAE, the server can see and use 8GB memory, OS has 1GB, applications can use the remaining 7GB, can install 2 instances of SQL with a max server mem set to 3GB each, SQL should be able to allocate memory from the upper 4GB RAM. (True / False)
2. We only need to enable AWE if any single instance need to cache more than 4GB of data so we could for example configure one instance with AWE and set the max mem to 5GB and set the second instance to use 2GB max . (True / False).
3. 32-bit windows server OS can support a maximum of 4GB virtual memory, does this mean setting the pagefile to more than 4GB is a waste of disk space or does PAE extend this limitation ?
4.With AWE enabled, anything above the 4GB virtual space is used for data caching only (can't be used to manage user connections, locks, stored procedure compilations...etc). How does this work when running 2 separate instances with 3GB each and AWE disabled? would they receive 4GB of virtual pageable address space each ?

Need some recommendations on . I have been tasked with building some SQL servers. The hardware config is:
4 Quad-core processors
64 GB of RAM (128GB of RAM coming in next group of servers)
4x73GB hard drives.
We normally build the servers with two Raid 1 disk groups. Mirroring the OS on one Raid group and keeping the default pagefile (for crash dumps) and then create another large pagefile on the other Raid group. We have been told from our parent company that we are to build the servers with a RAID 5 config and place the pagefile onto the same raid group as the OS. I know this is wrong and I need evidence to support my thoughts. If anyone has any links to whitepapers or research I would greatly appreciate it.
I am looking to test this feature - and the "Transaction Performance Collector" has recommended me a table to port to In-Memory OLTP.
I have now tried the "Table Memory Optimization Advisor" tool.
After a couple of tweaks to the table design - the tool is now passing validation but the tool is not allowing to progress to the next step:
Could it be down to not having enough memory? But would this not show in the advisor?
Hello. I have received the follwoing error upon an attempt to Browse the Cube. All other tabs are functional, including the Calculations tab. We are running Windows Server 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2005 SP2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
**EDIT** - Have confirmed SP1 for VS2005 is installed both locally and on server, also.
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (Microsoft Visual Studio)

I've been researching AWE to determine if we should enable this for our environment.
Currently we have a quad core box with 4 gb of RAM (VMware). OS: Windows 2003 std, SQL Server 2005 std. 3GB is not set but will be as soon as we can perform maintenance on the server.
I have read mixed feedback on AWE, either it works great or grinds you to a hault. I would assume that the grinding to a hault is due to not setting the min/max values correctly or not enabling the lock page in memory setting.
We only have one instance of SQL on the server and this box won't be used for anything else aside from hosting SQL services. We do plan on running SSRS off of this server as well.
1. Will running SSRS and enabling AWE cause me problems? Will I have to reduce the max setting by the SSRS memory usage or will it share and play nice?
2. How do I go about setting the Max value? Should it be less than the physical RAM in the box? Right now its set to the default of 214748364, even if I don't enable AWE should this default value be changed?
3. It seems that even at idle the SQL server holds a lot of memory and the page file grows. If I restart the process in the morning, memory usage in taskmon is at 600mb or so. By the end of the day, its up around 2gb. How can I track down whats causing this, should this even concern me?
4. The lock Page in memory setting worries me. Everything I've read on this seems to give a warning about serious OS and other program support degradation. In some cases to the point where they have to restore the settings on the server before they can bring it back up. What are your thoughts on this.
I have a Windows sever 2012 with sql server 2012 enterprise. Ram size is 22GB. Sometimes SQL sever takes 95% memory.My question, How to reduce memory size without killing any process because it's production server.So there are many background process is running. And,Is there any guides to learn why Memory is raise d so high and how to reduce it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedHello, I understand that we should use SSMS -> Server Properties -> Memory to put a cap on the SQL server memory usage, therefore it gives some space memory for OS, this is based on the fact if the max memory is not specified, SQL will use whatever available memory and eventually crash the system.
My question is that when a server has SSIS and SSAS services installed along with the SQL service. Would the max memory setting covers the SSIS and SSAS memory usage, or the SSIS and SSAS has to shared the memory with OS?
Thanks,

I am running Visual Studio 2005. I have an SSIS Package which is consuming a huge amount of memory. During the execution of the package the memory keeps increasing. Until finally i get an Out of Memory exception. I have run this package using dtexec, and in the BIDS. No difference. I do have some script components and have added some code to get the assemblies in the current appdomain. I do see that one particular assembly is increasing on every loop. VBAssembly every time it hits the script component is increasing by 6, and along with it the memory is climbing. What is this VBAssembly being used for is there an update to SQL Server Integration Services that I need?
Thanks! Aaron B.
sql server 2000 is running on windows server 2003 ... 4gb of memory on server .... 2003 was allocated 2.3gb nd sql server was allocated (and using all of it) 1.6gb for total of approx 4gb based on idera monitor software ... all memory allocated betweeen the OS and sql server .... then 4 more gb of memory added for total now of 8g ... now idera monitor shows 1.7gb for OS and 1.0 gb for sql server ..... 'system' info shows 8gb memory with PAE ... so I assume that the full 8gb can now be addressed .... why are less resources being used now with more total memory .... especially sql server ..... i thought about specifying a minimum memmry for sql server but i amnot convinced that would even work since it seems that this 1gb limit is artificial .... it it used 1.6 gb before why would it not use at least that much now ??
thank you

I am going to install SQL Server 2000 (then SQL 2K5) on a Win Server 2K3 with 8 GB of ram, but it will be 16 GB in the near future.
I would like to reserve a fixed memory (for momemt less than 3-4 GB) for SQL Server and the rest for application (virtualization).
Without AWE enabled, max memory for SQL Server 2K5 is 4GB as for SQL Server 2000?
How can I manage and optimize memory keeping in mind AWE. (any doc, website available?)
Thank
So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
Hello frnds Can Anybody explai what does it mean by question itself and how to resole it ?

I did a load testing and found the following observations:
1. The Memory:Pages/sec was crossing the limit beyond 20.
2. The Target Server Memory was always greater than Total Server Memory
Seeing the above data it seems to be memory pressure. But I found that AvailableMemory was always above 200 MB. Also Buffer Cache HitRatio was close to 99.99. What could be the reason for the above behavior?
Hi~, I have 3 questions about memory based bulk copy.
1. What is the limitation count of IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true)?
For example, how much insert row at below sample?(the max value of nCount)
for(i=0 ; i<nCount ; i++)
{
pIFastLoad->InsertRow(hAccessor, (void*)(&BulkData));
}
2. In above code sample, isn't there method of inserting prepared array at once directly(BulkData array, not for loop)
3. In OLE DB memory based bulk copy, what is the equivalent of below's T-SQL bulk copy option ?
BULK INSERT database_name.schema_name.table_name FROM 'data_file' WITH (ROWS_PER_BATCH = rows_per_batch, TABLOCK);
-------------------------------------------------------
My solution is like this. Is it correct?
// CoCreateInstance(...);
// Data source
// Create session
m_TableID.uName.pwszName = m_wszTableName;
m_TableID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;
DBPROP rgProps[1];
DBPROPSET PropSet[1];
rgProps[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
rgProps[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
rgProps[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
rgProps[0].dwPropertyID = SSPROP_FASTLOADOPTIONS;
rgProps[0].vValue.bstrVal = L"ROWS_PER_BATCH = 10000,TABLOCK";
PropSet[0].rgProperties = rgProps;
PropSet[0].cProperties = 1;
PropSet[0].guidPropertySet = DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERROWSET;
if(m_pIOpenRowset)

Hello
Which is better and faster?? and WHY????Writing Select Statement with joins in Stored procedure, or creating view and calling it from stored procedure (select * from view)..
Hi
Dont laugh but...
I am not entirely ignorant to web technologies, and best practices but i am having a bit of a planning dylema.
My company has a well established SQL 2000 database with windows application which has been created by myself, what i am planning on doing is creating a web site, using asp.net and publishing some of the information, so that our clients may use it, and stop pestering us on the phone. what i would like to know is what would be the best way forward, obviously i don't want to show them all our information, and don't want to put 5Gb worth of data onto a ISP website. What would you suggest i do?
Thanks in advance

DECLARE @returnDay int
SELECT @returnDay = DatePart(day,GetDate())
If @returnDay = 8
BEGIN
select * from Hospitals left join Units ON Units.HospitalID = Hospitals.HospitalID where Units.HospitalID is null
RETURN
END
this is just a part of the procedure I am trying to create, I am getting hospitals that haven't submitted any data and wish to send them an email.
on the other hand I have two tables that have all the data for emailing to hospitals but are not linked to tables giving the list of hospitals
I have been advised to create a cursor(easier said then done) that will go through my list of records that need to receive an email
nothing going very well with that at the moment.
so I was hoping to see if somebody has any other suggestions for me.....
Hi,
I am trying to solve this procedure.
Let me try to explain it...I am getting DEGREEID from one of the SELECT query . I want to OUTPUT (ie , COUNT) from procedure,the number of departments with the degreeid, got from the above query.
With below procedure, Since an employee can have multiple DEGREEID , the cursor is giving OUPTUT ie, COUNT for the LAST Degreeid. Eventhough the previous DEGREEID dont have any DEPARTMENT...but only for the LAST DEGREEID...!
How can I solve this..... whether I can solve this with CURSOR or I have to use someother way...Please advice me !

What do SQL databases do and what would i need to do to enter data in to SQL such as a email address or cant that be done?
I think dbname is the database name ALIAS is that the table name?

Hi all,
My first request for help here even if I read this site quite often and got tons of usueful information. Thanx all
I have an application (VB 6) calling store procedure on a SQLServer 2000 DB. One of the table gives me headache. I wrote a simple store procedure to insert a record into that table. If I call the store procedure from query manager it works perfect but if I call it from VB it looks like to work (return from the execute fine) but then I query the table for that record and it'll just take time and then return time out. I have to stop the VB application and then query it again then it'll return no record.
I suspect the table being locked somehow but I check inside the VB app code and that's the only place the table is called. Further more I have hundred of store procedures being used that way and they're all ok. I indexed the table , no use either...
I am just short of ideas how to debug this...I'll need your advice :)
thank you
Okay, given my newness to SQL, and the complexity of this query, I thought I'drun this by you for your opinion:SELECT DISTINCT a.WeekEnding, c.lastdate, c.numlate, b.totaldateFROM Accomplishment a LEFT OUTER JOIN(SELECT weekending, COUNT(weekending) AStotaldateFROM AccomplishmentWHERE (EmployeeID = 50)GROUP BY weekending) b ON a.WeekEnding =b.weekending LEFT OUTER JOIN(SELECT weekending, MAX(entrydate) ASlastdate, COUNT(weekending) AS numlateFROM accomplishmentWHERE employeeid = 50 AND entrydate >weekendingGROUP BY weekending) c ON a.WeekEnding =c.weekendingORDER BY a.WeekEndingWhat I'm trying to do is for each pay period find which ones the employeesubmitted a timesheet and which they were late (and if they were late, howmany of them). However, the query takes a good 5 seconds, and it seemsremoving the "entrydate > weekending" clause speeds things up to almostinstant, however it does ruin the count that I really want. No idea whythat makes such a difference..

I have an Accounting system(vb.net 2003, SQL server 2000), every new year data is cleared, but i may use some data from previous years (such as liabilities)??
whats the best way to that ???
-Shall I create programmatically a new clone DB every year (new DB with same structure as previous year)
OR
-Shall I add a "year field" for tables in DB????
knowing that data will keep growing every year??????
whats the best solution, knowing that i dont want the end user of my application to do anything manually, such as creating DB ......
Thank you
I have a couple of files that I have that are comma seperated, and am looking for the best way to take those files, but them in a temp location to run some sql up against, and than update or insert a production sql database based on a SP i have written that takes a number of variable. I have played around with using the recordset destination and defining all the variables and than using a for each loop but seem to be stuck. Somewhat new to the whole programming field, and to be honest, seems a little intimidating with the little I know of the programming side. Just looking for some thoughts.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am new to the CE OS, SQL CE and mobile computing in general. I have been developing database applications using MS products ever since Windows 3.11 and Visual Basic 1.0. I have used MS Access and SQL Server since they were first released. But, I have never worked with Windows CE or any of the mobile OSs or with SQL CE or SQL Mobile.
We now have a project that requires us to develop a database application on handheld devices using the CE 4.2 and CE 5.0 OSs.We will be using CF 2.0, VS 2005 and SQL 2005 for our development environment.
My questions are:
1. Which version of mobile SQL will allow us to best develop for both the CE 4.2 and 5.0 OSs usinf VS 2005? I have done a lot of reading online and it's pretty confusing. There are quite a number of different versions out there. It seems some work with 4.2 and some with 5.0. Is there a version that will work for both?
2. Is SQL CE 3.0 (Sql 2005 Mobile) available for other than Laptop and Tablet use? When i finaly got to the download page for this version there was verbiage there that suggested it was not available for smart devices.
3. What is a good source of info to resolve these questions? I am using the MSDN areas for CE and SQL Mobile but haven't really found what I need to get started. Any suggestions on forums, books, articles, blogs, etc... would be greatly appreciated.
I know these are very broad questions but I want to get some advice from the experienced before going to far here.
I just want to ask for any good advice here ragarding my project. I'm planning to create a program that will use an sql server as a database. I have 3 branches and I need the branches to be updated always when they create any transaction or changes. The sql server will be installed in a PC with Windows Server 2003 and with a public IP. the question is can I access the sql server from other branches by using the public IP of the ServerPC thru the Internet? If yes, how? if no, is there a best way to do this updating method?
Thanks!
Hi,
I am totally new to SQL and need to ask some basic questions.
Can anybody tell me if SQL 2005 will run ok on Windows Server 2008 32bit and/or 64bit.
Also, we are currently planning to implement OCS 2007 and we are considering running it on Windows Server 2008 32bit with SQL 2005. Does anyone know if this combination is possibleand if not what implementation should we be looking at.
Thanks for your time,
Cheers,
Ian.
Hi everyone,
i wonder if any one can give me some advice.
here is my situation, i have a central database server that contains all the data, running in an intranet, the client application, which is a thick client containing most of the biz logics is installed on a laptop,
i m required to develop a solution so that when the client application is disconnect to the database server (e.g. the laptop is taken away somewhere) the application can still work and when the client application gets connect to the database server again the application will be able to synchronize changes with the database and update all the changes. and i m not allow to develop a web-base application
my initial thinking is to use merge replication, however, i m conerning with the performance on the laptop if i have to install sql server on the laptop.
is there any other approach that can still achieve the requirement and have a better performance?
thanks a lot in advance.
I'm creating a DB to track clients, programs, and client participation in the programs. They are service programs. A client can be in more than one program and a program can have more than one client.
Can someone give me an example of how they would layout the tables?
My guess is:
tblClient, ClientID
tblClientProgramLog, ProLogID, ClientID
tblProgramDetails, ProDetailID, ProLogID
tblPrograms, ProgramID, ProDetailID
I appreciate any suggestions,
