Performance Concern (Sql Server 20005 vs Sql Server 2000)

  • Hi guys

    My conern is :

    we have a 8 GB of data replicated among 4 SQL server 2000 located across different Location.

    But as DB is growing rapidly and moreover people are querying the data with different set of parameters.

    When I came to know that SQL Server 2005 is a perfomance booster and moreover we can do a table partition in this.

    I set up sql server 2005 as Publisher and Sql Server 2005 a Subscriber, and one another subscriber sql server 2000.

    I did table partioning on sql server 2005 DB.

    in Brief:

    How I can compare the performance of getting results by 2 different servers now.

    I need to compare Is Sql server 2005 with partiton is reallt a better option than sql server 2000.

    Please advise how?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Simplest way I can think of is to capture the trace output from your production box and the use the Profiler's ability to replay traces against the test machine. Capture that set of trace events too and then compare the two. You'll see which one is faster, uses less resources, etc.
