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...
Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?
How do you compare SAN drive vs local drive on a 32 bit server?
Is it good idea to move my DB files to a SAN instead of local?

1: TempDB keeps getting filled. Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,

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

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,

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??
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.

Here 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
On two different unrelated servers this week, I got these errors from a DBCC CHECKDB(tempdb):
Msg 8905, Level 16, State 1, Server NTSONYX, Procedure P_DATABASE_BACKUPS, Line 121
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Extent (1:136752) in database
ID 2 is marked allocated in the GAM, but no SGAM or IAM has allocated it.
A re-boot solved the problem, but what is causing it?
During daily scheduled maintenance the following error occurs, which causes the maintenance job to fail. How can we fix?

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,
Hi all of you,
My current dutie is try to obtain for each table their filegroup.
I'm seeing sysobjects table but I can't see nothing related to do with
Thanks a lot for your time,
Hello ,
I wanted to know on what basis the disk space allocation for the databases is planned . Suppose if we plan 60 GB for data files ( mdf )for a given database then what should be the space allocation for the log files ( ldf ) and the tempdb ( both mdf and ldf files ).
Is there any thumb rule or any defined ratio for the same ?
Thanks
Hey all, first time poster here.
Cheers!
Enterprise Edition SQL2k sp3a on Win2k3 Enterprise Edition server.
Using BCP to load ~4 million records.
Largest record width is ~350 bytes.
When finished i have over 6 million pages reserved and only about 800 thousand actually used.
Which puts me 'round about 3 rows per page and WAY too much empty space.
YIKES!
Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
Or insight into how BCP handles page allocations that may be different than the typical extent based page allocations for table data?
Thanks!
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.

There is an error called:
memory allocation failure
How to fix it?
I've been doing some testing on the SAN/Disk subsystem over the past few days. I've run into something that is bugging me though. Hopefully someone here has run into the same thing or can answer.
*All LUNs have been created with default selects.
Test 1:
LUN1 (H:) - Created partition with diskmanager in win2003.
LUN2 (I:) - Created partition with diskpart and aligned the sectors at 64k.
Formatted both disks to have 4k in the allocation units.
Created a new blank DB on each disk.
With Profiler running, I ran a bulk insert for both disks and also ran a "Select count(*), Sum(total) from tableA" for both databases and cleared the proc cache inbetween.
Profiler showed the reads and writes io for the import and selects as a the same number (468721 reads and 312182 writes).
Test 2:
Deleted partitions
LUN1 (H:) - Created partition with diskmanager in win2003.
LUN2 (I:) - Created partition with diskpart and aligned the sectors at 64k.
Formatted both disks to have 8k in the allocation units.
Created a new blank DB on each disk.
With Profiler running, I ran a bulk insert for both disks and also ran a "Select count(*), Sum(total) from tableA" for both databases and cleared the proc cache inbetween.
Profiler showed the reads and writes io for the import and selects as a the same number (468721 reads and 312182 writes).
Test 3:
Same as test 2 but formatted with 64k allocation units.
So here is my question: Shouldn't the I/O go down or at least change if you change the allocation unit size for the disk?
Thanks,
Daniel
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
