  • RE: High Amount of Page Level Locking Disabled

    Probably because the new server has an index maintenance job that does ALTER INDEX REORGANIZE, whereas the old server didn't. REORGANIZE needs page locks to be enabled

  • RE: SQL Server 2014 - Page Life Expectancy

    Cache hit ratios are useless counters. A server has to be under sever, long-term memory pressure before buffer cache hit ratio will dip.

  • RE: DBCC checkdb doest show errors but BACKUP shows error 23(Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

    CheckDB doesn't check the log, so it wouldn't pick this up.

    When you have some downtime:

    Switch DB to simple recovery model.

    Checkpoint

    Shrink log to 0

    Regrow log to full...

    locks escalate in three steps, row, page and then table.

    No they don't.

    Escalation is straight to table, no matter whether the locks start as row or page. The...
