  • RE: Distributed Replay - To Install or Not To Install

    Grant Fritchey (5/21/2015)


    They have not been given enough love by Microsoft, so you're going to struggle to get them to work correctly. However, once you do, they really are terrific.

  • RE: Distributed Replay - To Install or Not To Install

    Brandie Tarvin (5/21/2015)


    Has anyone installed the Distributed Replay components?

    Yes, several times.

    Have they helped? Have they hurt?

    Are they even useful or is it just another MS component that potentially...

  • RE: SQL Server 2012 - High Memory Usage

    Grant Fritchey (5/21/2015)


    From what everyone has said, my leading suspicions are (in rough order):

    Anti-virus

    VM configuration

    Server configuration (no NOT memory, I suspect something CPU related)

    Queries that have always caused pain but...

  • RE: Buffer pool memory is higher than max server memory

    Edit..

    Looks OK. What is telling you it's wrong?

    VM Committed 1061976

    1061976 kB = 1037 MB, which is close enough to 1024 to be rounding or a 1000/1024 division issue.

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I checked MSDB, there are no missing backups

    2 hours later

    There's a problem, the query on MSDB showed a transaction log backup that's missing.

    Hmmm. Or is this quantum backups, it's both...

    Have you ever seen I/O contention lead to high CPU usage?

    I have, but you tend to see it in the wait stats and the perfmon counters. High CPU,...

    jitendra.padhiyar (5/21/2015)


    one more Tlog backup at 10.12 PM

    There's your problem.

    The full's fine, but a missing log backup will mean that you can't restore past that point. So unless you...

  • RE: Backup restore issue

    No, SSMS is not going to be the cause of SQL Server telling you that the log chain is broken.

    What does MSDB show?

    What are your restore statements?

  • RE: Default Constraint

    You can edit the script if you want them that way. SSMS scripts constraints separately to the table. Doesn't make much of a difference.

  • RE: Splitting TempDB - What's your experience?

    Reducing contention on the allocation pages. That's the whole reason why TempDB gets split. It's why that old recommendation of 'files = cores' came about in the first place.

    Why do they think it's corrupt? Is there any justification there?

  • RE: Splitting TempDB - What's your experience?

    My usual recommendation to clients is:

    Split TempDB into 4 files, make sure they're all the same size, all the same growth increment. If I'm seeing obvious allocation contention I...
