  • RE: High memory usage - SQL server

    Yup, and hence Test Manager and RAMMap are both lying to you. Neither considers physically allocated memory (what locked pages allows SQL to take), and hence they're both showing 24GB...

  • RE: High memory usage - SQL server

    Honestly, part of the problem here is that you're looking at disparate things and assuming they mean what you think they mean, when they probably don't.

    I don't have time to...

  • RE: Urgent: Log Files Won't Truncate

    Don't guess. Diagnose and identify the exact problem. Guessing just wastes time.

    Problem is by pulling the DB out of the AG, you'll have lost any information that was in AG-related...

    Anything to do with not wanting to write "dbo." any more?

    Just saw that. :angry:

    Prefixing objects with their schema is a good thing to do and is a recommended practice. Not doing so can cause problems with plan reuse. It's something I flag as...

  • RE: Urgent: Log Files Won't Truncate

    Then the log backups are not the issue. The issue is that something else is preventing log reuse. Switching to simple will do exactly the same as a log backup...

  • RE: How is a program licensed on SQL Server 2014

    Per user.

    It's the sameish as a web server connecting to SQL and people using the web site. The people using the site need to be licensed, not the web server.

    Switching to simple recovery will only do anything if the cause of the logs not truncating was the lack of a log backup. If that was the cause, then doing...

  • RE: LCK_M_IS wait time

    You haven't got lock escalation. If you had, it'd be a LCK_M_S at the table level, not the intent lock.

    The only thing that would be blocking an intent S lock...

    Jeff Moden (8/28/2015)


    Before you go to all that trouble, try changing "postalid" to "*" or "1" in the not exists and see what happens.

    That won't do anything. The SELECT...

  • RE: Good Maxdop value in SQL 2014

    It wouldn't, though identifying cores/NUMA node might be a tad more challenging, and if the VM admin's screwed up the config, could be harder still.

    EasyBoy (9/2/2015)


    I will check with senior person if we can remove unlimited auto-growth option and set something about 400-500 MB in place of 10%.

    Remove the limited autogrowth, you mean?
