Load balancing feature has not the SQLServer

  • Load balancing feature has not the SQLServer.Now we have a critical time when 1500 users insert the data simultaneously at evening and morning.So what should I do I have empty servers but SQL Server not supporting Load balancing.

    And they all hit to one singledatabase???

    What the other companies does..in this case???

    Thanks

  • We had to build it into our application, and then sync the databases at nite.

    The first thing that the application did was get the number of SQL connections on serverA. If that number exceeded a threshold, then the app would use a different server name in the connection string.

    Then we had jobs that ran at nite to sync the databases between the two servers. In our case, it was ok for the data to be out of sync for 1 day.

    In other words, the 'server=' parameter in the connection string changed based on the load on each server.

  • AFAIK If the current sqlserver would have distributed databases to support your load balancing, only a single one would be in read-write state, the others would be in read-only mode (and only be updated by the sync program of sqlserver).

    So the only option left is a single instance of sqlserver hosting the database, but splitting in filegroups / multiple files / multiple spindles and maybe even supported with partitioning.

    You can also use staging databases or tables to speed up your import process.

    Depending on the functionality you aim for (online feedback or not) this may enlarge your options.

    For the moment, splitting disks , io chanels , and only use high speed raid levels (raid 1(0)) will be the advise.

    Off course optimizing your objects and SSIS streams (loads) will also be very important.

    I haven't played with SQL2008 R2 regarding this topic.
