One of the difficult parts of developing anaylsis services cubes is determining which aggregations should be chosen. Yaniv Mor brings us the second part of his series and examines using Usage Based Optimization in SQL Server 2005.
This project was done using SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (with SP1 beta) using the BULK INSERT command with 60 parallel input files, each of approximately 16.67 GB. The best time I got was 50 minutes. Hewlett Packard was kind enough to loan me some time one night on the machine they use to do the TPC-H tests. It is an Itanium2 Superdome with 64 1.6GHZ 9M (Madison) CPUs. For the insert tests the system was equipped with 256GB of RAM. The HP SAN configuration is rated at 14GB per second throughput.

Everyone wants a highly available system, but achieving 4 or 5 9s of uptime is hard to do. Especially when you have cost limitations. New author Mark Cook takes a look at how his company analyzed the challenges and which method they chose along with some implementation details.
Continuing our coverage of topics dealing with various aspects of managing SQL Server 2005 Integration Services packages, which we started with an overview of their storage and deployment, we now turn our focus to their execution.
Not the traditional overview here. Steve Jones takes a look at the various high availability technologies from a different perspective.
This article, published in the June 2005 issue of SIGMOD Record, provides an overview of SQL Server Data Mining from a standards perspective.
