SQL Server do not use PROFILER, use Server side trace to upload to table!

As a followup questions from the post SQL Server Profiler: System is low on disk space on drive 'C'? here I had a feedback of how to save the server-side trace to a table? Well there is no direct path to do so, rather a roundabout method of once you have collected the trace using server-side method, open up the collect trace file in Profiler and click on File --> Save As --> Trace Table (see below): The reason it was disabled that I was already performing the Save-To-Table operation, as you...(read more) (more)

SQL Server Management Data Warehouse 3 data collectors - useful facts

Back until SQL Server 2005 days there was a high demand for third party tools and scripts to collect the data based upon the requirement, analyze and produce a report. SQL Server 2008 gets you Management Data Warehouse, a relational database that contains the data that is collected from a server using the new SQL Server 2008 data collection mechanism - BOL is your best friend to get to know more on introduction & How-To in specific to Management Data Warehouse.

Trace & Troubleshooting performance: take advantage of server side tracing for SQL Server Analysis Services

Performance is the key aspect for Relational and Analytical databases, similarly processing bottlenecks are quite common within both systems if the configuration has not be set properly. Here are my thoughts & experience during a BI based project design & implementation using SQL Server 2008 version. Here comes next question, what is a proper configuration and how do you indicate that certain configuration is set for optimum performance? Analysis Services service in SQL Server 2008 provides...(read more) (more)

Leverage Query and Index performance with MAXDOP/Max Degree of Parallelism option in SQL Server

No matter how best you adopt the indexing practices, few times you have to tweak the resources to obtain optimized performance. This is where a degree of parallelism needs to be applied for your complex/large resulted queries on your SQL Server, having a multiple CPU based server is a quite common criteria. By design SQL database engine with more than CPU detects the best degree of parallelism, that is number of processors employed to run a single statement, for each parallel plan execution. Unless...(re... (more)

SQL Server SSIS package performance series - resolve the low-memory conditions

SSIS Packages are integral part of database management activities, that all ETL based activities can be managed efficiently. The primary usage for these packages is to manage the movement of data from one place to another. To do that, the package needs to know where it is moving data from and where it is moving data to. Now a days the environment of source & destination server is not limited to a network or between 2 systems, it is diversified into global locations that typically enables Integration...(r... (more)

SQL Server Manageability - Choose Analysis Services database backup strategy

Until SQL Server 2005 performing a backup of Analysis Services database was a troublesome, not like DB engine database backup statements. As said above 2005 version onwards the backup and restore operations are an integral part of the Analysis Services infrastructure, as the backup operation has been completely rebuilt. Look at the diagram that was referred in one of the Technet article that shows the interaction between Analysis Services and backup and data files: Behind the scens the operation...(read ... (more)

SQL Server Memory Cache - take help of DMV for optimal query plans

SQL Server query optimization and keepup of performance is not a black-art, it can be achieved in a fair manner if you treat your queries with plans with a are reused or recompiled plans that can help you design well-performing applications. There are ways to add a plan or data to the SQL Server cache or to remove a plan or data from SQL Server cache, but these techniques are only recommended for testing or troubleshooting purposes. The key point is more you understand about optimal query plans,...(read ... (more)

Build an Alert mechanism by using Analysis Management Objects (AMO) - implement SQL Server 2008 OLAP Best Practices

SQL Server 2008 offers Analysis Management Objects (AMO) a complete library of classes designed to manage an instance of Analysis Services from a client application in managed code under the .NET Framework version 2.0. What I believe on the usage of these AMO in Analysis Services 2008 will alert you whenever best practice is not being followed: suggestions and warnings are delivered by AMO and are identified by a curvy blue line underneath the object in question.
