  • RE: SQL Server Memory - High

    That's too much for low memory servers and too little for high memory servers.

  • RE: Shut down server for maintenance

    sqlfriends (12/18/2012)


    If we start web server first, then SQl server, is it going to be a problem to connect after that?

    Depends on how the application is written. Ask your developers.

  • RE: SQL Server Memory - High

    I prefer a conservative approach to memory. Set max server memory lower (the 40 out of 48) and if monitoring shows available memory, increase it slightly. Repeat until happy.

  • RE: Profiler shows LoginName as 'sa', but 'sa' is disabled on the instance.

    Schema != owner

    That proc is old (pre SQL 2005) and hence changing schema and owner, before SQL 2005 they were the same thing.

    Use ALTER AUTHORIZATION to change owner and...

  • RE: Index Performance.

    Stale statistics. Almost certainly.

    It's not corruption. Corruption doesn't cause performance problems. Corruption causes severity 24 error messages.
