Upgrade from sql 2000

  • I just upgraded a DB from sql 2000 to 2008 on the same server. The DB is less than 1 gig but I am having serious slow down issues involving I/O and network traffic. The network administrator suggested that 2008 is a memory hog and may need additional server resources. Is this a known issue with 2008?

    Thanks,

    Sam

  • no its not. SQL 2008 optimiser uses stats differently, have you updated your stats?

  • Check the fragmentation on your indexes as well.

  • Yes check fragmentation and when stats were updated, how much memory this server has?

    EnjoY!

  • thanks, checking the stats and memory.

  • Have you done rebuild index and update stats?

  • Did you upgrade SQL 2000, or add a 2008 instance or do something else? If you have two instances, you might be eating up memory as well.

  • my guess is you did an inplace upgrade...can you tell what steps have you performed after the upgrade?.

  • not able to remind exactly but i have seen similar post here in past(not more than a week). If you search you will get it where the problem get resolved by some -g option.....

    sorry not able to remind exactly the number

  • I have side by side instances running and it's killing us right now.

  • Have you limited memory for both instances? If not, they will be fighting for resources and causing issues.

  • yes, did that and it made a big difference but didn't completely solve the issue. Now looking at server resources such as more memory, etc.

  • The instances will also be fighting for disk and network i/o if they both have workloads as well, something to bear in mind.

  • you haven't said if you have updated your stats at least?

    If you have moved a db from a sql2000 instance to a sql2008 instance on the same server the overall amount of i/o and network traffic should not change. If the memory allocation is not correct perhaps less work is getting done in memory then before, leading to more i/o, which will be slower.

    Unless you are 64bit multiple instances do not tend to perform as well as a single instance unless you are very careful how you allocate memory.
