sql 2000 Performance issue

  • Question,

    Our users are reporting slow app response. Here's the sql server profile. Does anything strike you as wrong or can you suggest other counters I should look at? 

     

    Server

    Windows 200 SP4

    SQL 2000, SP 3

    Installed memory: 4GB

    RAID 5 configuration

     

    Perfmon data:

         Available MBytes  (Memory): 1772  (I think the max this can be, without the /3GB switch in boot.ini, is     2GB. So we are doing pretty good).

         Percent CPU time: hovers asorund 50% (dual CPU)

         Disk usage (total) 3-4%

         Paging faults/sec (Memory): hovers around 350

         Average disk queue length: < .08

         Drive C has 40GB free; dirve D; as 100GB free.

         %Usage (page file)  < 0.2

     

    TIA,

     

    Bill

     

     

  • You should probably use SQL Server Profiler and trace at the SQL Server level rather than the operating system to determine what SQL is coming from the app to the server and how it is being processed.

    This is a large subject area - maybe search the articles here for resources on using and interpretting profiler.

     

  • Is your TempDB has an adequate sizing?

  • Here's my 'short list' for tuning:

    Round I

        DBCC UPDATEUSAGE

        UPDATE STATISTICS (with FULL scan) for all tables

        exec sp_recompile for all tables

    Round II

        DBCC DBREINDEX

        UPDATE STATISTICS (with FULL scan) for all tables

        exec sp_recompile for all tables

    Round III

        Profiler

        Query Hints
