I'm sure most DBAs don't give a second thought to starting and stopping their SQL Server 2000 servers. But do you know the different ways to do this and some of the impacts and expectations you should have? Especially with hardware growing, it's not always as simple and straightforward as it should be. Andy Warren recently had to deal with some issues and starts a new series looking at the various ways of starting and stopping SQL Server.
Part I of this article illustrated how to monitor CPU usage of running processes on a local machine or from a remote machine. This article illustrates how to monitor the CPU usage of different running processes on different machines and collect the information in a database.
SQL Server 2000 databases seem to move more often than their DBAs would like. However, moving the logins and users can prove to be a bit more of a challenge than just moving the databases. New author Corey Bunch brings us his technique for making this easier.
It's been five years since Microsoft released a new DBMS, but both experts and users agree that this one was worth the wait. SQL Server 2005's enhancements and new features have made the system a much more attractive attractive option to both large and small shops. Nonetheless, upgrading to SQL Server 2005 is a serious undertaking, requiring extensive training, planning and testing. In this Learning Guide, you will find news, technical tips and expert advice to help address your questions and concerns regarding SQL Server 2005 and put you on the road to a successful upgrade.
Most time we probably think that lots of our code is confusing, but when working with data values that need or contain quotes, it can get especially confusing. Sean McCown looks at a method for making this code easier to read.
The dynamic management views (DMVs) in SQL Server 2005 are designed to give you a window into what's going on inside SQL Server. They can provide information on what's currently happening inside the server as well as the objects it's storing. They are designed to be used instead of system tables and the various functions provided in SQL Server 2000. This article provides an introduction to DMVs and covers a few of the basic views and functions.
Everyone seems to focus on the large scale, enterprise level installations of SQL Server with not a lot of information on the little guy. To that end, new author Tim Mitchell brings us a great overview on what you should consider when setting up a SQL Server environment for a small scale setting.
Data, information, and knowledge. They're all different concepts and we sometimes lose sight of the fact that there are differences. This is a good look at the difference.
What counters should you monitor to baseline your servers? Which ones for checking performance? It's an interesting question and one that always leads Steve Jones to a wide range of sources in print and on the web. Steve compiled his own list and finally has put some words around the list to give some justification of why they are chosen. Read on and see how this compares to your list (you do have a list don't you?).
In this article, we will begin an extended examination of the MDX surrounding drilling up and down within our Analysis Services cubes. Comprising an analytical technique by which an information consumer can maneuver between summarized ("drilling up") and detailed ("drilling down") levels of data, drilling up or down occurs along the lines of drilling paths that are defined within the physical structures of our cubes. Often specified by the cube's dimensional hierarchies, these paths can also be based upon alternative relationships that exist within or between dimensions.
