Oracle Licensing For Dual Core Processors

Nov 23, 2005

Hi,

Is there a reason why we have to pay more for licensing for a different
kind 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 (small
and medium), then they should drop their attitude on Dual Core
processors.

If they start charging as if it was a normal processor, and ask the
normal 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 their
processors because of overheating problems, I will have the attitude
that 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 sound
allot better.

Oracle are shooting themselves in the foot! Or am I the only person
feeling this way?

Dual Processors & Performance

Mar 17, 1999

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.

How Can I Use Dual Core CPU For Performance Improvement

Jul 17, 2007

Hi,



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 ?



Thanks.

May 7, 2007

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

Standard Edition's Support Of 4 Processors - Does This Exclude Mulit-core Procs?

Feb 13, 2008

When Standard Edition says it supports 4 processors, is this just the physical processor or do we have to factor in multiple cores?

If SE supports 4 physical quad-core processors, is it written to optimally utilize the quad-core technology or would I be better off using Enterprise Edition?

hi all,
I was under the impression that SQL Server 2005 can install on dual processor, quad core Intel machines.

Here's what we have: Intel Quad Core Xeon (E7340) @ 2.4Ghz. (8 way)

Has anyone encountered any issues w/ this setup -- particularly on this Intel CPU version?

thank you,

How To Limit Processors Used (for Licensing Purposes)?

Jul 18, 2007

Is 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

SQL 2012 :: Getting CPU Core Count For Licensing

Aug 13, 2015

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.

Dual Xeon Or Dual P4 For SQL Server?

Jul 20, 2005

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

Processors(4) 95% Then 2%, Over And Over

Nov 18, 1999

Specs: Dell 6350 Poweredge, 4 Xeon 500, 4GB Ram
SQL 7 Sp1.

At some point, my 4 processors began a cycle of Peaks and Valleys.
AFter stopping ALL processes using the SQL server the processors were still doing this Max, then none, Max, then none.

I think the oddest part of this is that all 4 processoers were Exactly the same Peaks/Valleys from my Workstation (perfmon).

Anone had their processors do this? HELP PLEASE.. .

SQL Server On A Subset Of Processors

Jul 10, 2006

Can I install SQL Server on a machine and use less than the # of processor on the machine. In a UNIX world, I'd call it LPARing with Oracle and AIX, and they only let me do this with Enterprise Edition. With Windows, I think the only way is using virtual machines and attaching processors to them? Do any vendors offering LPARing? Can I take any edition of SQL Server and subcapacity price so that I only pay for the processors I'm using?



What about SS Express? It only scheds to a single core - so could I put that on a larger machine?



Thanks!

SQL Server && Core Duo CPU

Feb 23, 2007

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)) ?

Thank you for your ideas!

Quad Core

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 .

Dual Y-Axes

Dec 27, 2006

Greetings,

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.

Thanks

Saving Data Into A Table & Multiple Processors

Mar 10, 2000

Hello,

Yesterday I was looking to the processor usage in the Task Manager of Windows NT when a script of mine was running. The script was an InfoPump Script; which is a tool from the DecisionBase suite from CA (was previously owned by Platinum). This script contains SQL statements that select data from several tables and stores the result into another table. The SQL code used for this looks fine to me.
The query was running on a Compaq Proliant 5500 with 4 500 Mhz Xeon processors, 1 GB RAM, NT Server 4, SP 5, RAID 5. The SQL Server is configured to use all resources and SQL has normal priority on NT.
When the select part was running al four processors were used for about 75% and when the store happens only 1 processor is used for 100%.
Why is the store not spread over all four processors? It only uses one processor and it seems to be a bottleneck.

Deploying Dual Use Applications With SMO

Feb 20, 2008

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?

Thanks, Jamie Ide
