This article may be examined as a good advice, which you can use at your own risk or simply ignore. The article deals with such questions as monitoring, measuring and testing of SQL server, the identifying problems in application code, locking, CPU, memory and database configuration. It also gives valuable information on indexes. The article spokes in detail about the definition of index, the using of index and the necessity of index. Indexes are very important in the SQL databases.
When you hit the right indexing scheme, you may see some dramatic changes. 50,000 reads being reduced to 5 reads is not uncommon, said Kurt Survance. Much attention is given to the proper using of hard ware and memory. Users often complain on the lack of memory and ask for the hardware upgrading. Kurt Survance states To repeat what we said above: a hardware bottleneck does not always mean that your hardware is inadequate. (SQL Article Summary and Analysis, May 13, 2005) the author gives detailed information about the amount of memory the SQL server use.
SQL Server loves memory, and it is often the cheapest way to get the performance boost you need, said Kurt Survance. The article is not an easy reading because it covers a lot of ground in a short time but at the same time it helps to understand all the issues, which are involved in improving SQL server performance. The SQL server is the best software for a company with large databases. And even those, which do not dispose of large databases, prefer to use SQL server. But SQL server needs to be properly monitored measured and correctly interpreted. This action will help to optimize the work of SQL server.
This article, however, doesnt cover the complete treatment of SQL server performance optimization. It just clarifies about 20% of bottlenecks which cause the 80% of problems. Before undertaking a $50,000 hardware upgrade, spend a few hours optimizing the indexing in your database, then reassess the performance issues. states the author of the article. I take this as a good advice for everybody who uses the SQL server.
