    That setting really only controls the data buffer cache so the plan/procedure cache and other sql server overhead have to use some of the 19GB remaining along with the...

    Nothing unusual about the memory, SQL loves memory, it will use as much as it can get. Be sure to limit the max memory so that the OS has some...

    It appears this article caused him to *start* a blog. So, probably best to hit the dampers early on him.

    I noticed. 🙁

  • RE: report optimization

    Don't just go and implement them. DTA's a pile of junk most of the time.

    Take each recommendation. Test it. See if it improves the report and does not degrade anything...

  • RE: Repetitive Indexes

    Stefan Krzywicki (12/30/2010)


    Does this only apply to WHERE or does it also apply to ON?

    ON A.CafeNumber = B.CafeNumber

    AND A.PosNumber = B.PosNumber

    WHERE...
