  • RE: Log truncation is not happening

    That's normal, the file shouldn't reduce in size automatically. That suggests that log truncation is happening regularly and there's nothing wrong.

  • RE: Log truncation is not happening

    Did you read the articles?

    Is the log growing or is the file constant at 300GB? If it's growing, what's the reason given?

  • RE: Running out of workers

    I wouldn't recommend changing worker threads. 0 is a good default, it shouldn't need changing. Identifying why you're running out of worker threads should be a priority.

  • RE: Backward compatibility mode for SQL Server 2012

    Leave the databases that you restore in compatibility mode 100.

    Doesn't mean that the server's behaving entirely as if it were a SQL 2008/2008 R2, just that some T-SQL structures and...

    We are running 2008 R2 Standard, two CPU's with 6 cores each.

    32 bit or 64 bit?

  • RE: Ideas on how to handle 1000+ databases in one instance

    berniesprouster (8/9/2013)


    However, we don't have licensing for Ent edition, so I think that may restrict the options of partitioning.

    Partitioning for what?

    1000 DBs is possible (limit is 32 767), but that's...

    Further to this, I thought of suggesting one Filegroup per customer and grouping all objects for each customer into said Filegroups. This would provide for relatively easy backups/restores and...

    There is nothing about simple recovery model that means it won't use the full size of the log or grow the log. Simple recovery only means that log truncation occurs...

    GilaMonster (8/8/2013)


    What version of SQL, what processor architecture, how many cores?

    The DAC connection requires a sysadmin, not necessarily SA, so you should be able to use that to connect.
