SQL Server 2008 r2 database

  • Hello everyone,

    I have a customized application which replicates data in to sql server 2008 r2. the database is created in sql server 2008 once you installed the customized third party application (i assumed by means of scripts). Recently i have noticed that the database itself keeps growing and when the replicator program is running it takes a long time to replicate all the data and data is also missing. Can anyone give me any hint of what might be wrong and how i can resolve that? How can i increase the performance of sql server?

    Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks

  • Why are you using replication? Is this for DR, or something like reporting?

    Much less complex (to the user) than replication is mirroring and log-shipping.

    You mentioned that the database is growing, by what %? And how much growth did you anticipate?

  • sql server 2008 replication is not involved , its more of reporting

    growth around 10-15 %

  • This sounds like it's pretty vendor specific, I don't know the app, so I won't speculate on what's wrong.

    As for performance:

    Add RAM

    Add Disks

    Get faster disks

    Add CPU's

    Stop unnecvessary services

    Migrate other DB's to other servers

    etc...

    Take a look at my signature line. Read the book on performance tuning. It has more tips & tricks than you can shake stick at.
