"Governor" for select sql applications?

  • We have 1 big developer box used for both Datawarehouse and regular dev. When the Datawarehouse guys get going, they really dirve up disk utilzaiton causing the other developers to complain about sluggishness.  (and they are right!) Does sql 2005 have a "governor" or other way to restrict the datawarehosue process so it and other process can fruitly use the sevrer at the same time?

     

    TIA,

  • It does, but the governor is enabled either a server level or per connection. All the governor will do is prevent very expensive queries from been run, depending on the value of the cost limit.

    Look up "query governor" in books online for more info.

    Btw, while it won't help you, SQL 2008 (Katmai) has what you are asking for.

  • why don't you add some disks and split the DW database to a seperate array?

    Query governor is more trouble than it's worth. Better to train your developers.

    That's exactly what I did as query governor didn't offer me what I wanted.
