SQL 2005 startup parmaeters question

  • Hi, need some confirmation here. I need to change the startup parameters on an important production 2005 instance to add a couple of trace flags, and I won't be here when SQL is bounced. I have nowhere to test this out at the moment (new job) so want to check my syntax and methodology is good. Cannot afford for this to cause problems. :ermm:

    Via configuration manager

    right click on sql server service, select properties

    on advanced tab choose startup parameters

    following the -dblah;-eblah;-lblah

    append ;-T1222;-T3605

    best and correct way to do this?

    cheers in advance

  • Order shouldn't matter, never seen it do so in the past, but I've added things to the end so I know what to remove.

    Be sure you document your changes.

  • steve, thanks. we have a full blown change management system here (RMS) so all documented and approved.
