SQL SERVER PERFORMANCE

  • If sql server performance is slow first How can we find it? plz tell me the procedure. How can we go?

    Will you tell me the Navigation.

  • What do you mean by "performance is slow"

    Is this normal, or is the server unusually slow?

    Have you made any changes recently?

    Are there more users than normal?

    Is there excessive blocking?

    Are you seeing high wait times? If so, what type?

    If performance is always slow, run profiler for an hour or so, capture all of the queries running, find the worst ones and see if you can optimise them

    If the server is unusually slow, you need to find out what's different to normal.

  • That's a huge topic. I posted an article [/url]on it that just barely scratches the surface. It can at least get you started so that you can begin to ask questions.

  • profiler

  • Snorkel.

    But seriously, Profiler might not give the answer. What if there's a problem with memory or tempdb or disk space and there are waits occurring because page latches or something else.

    You can't simply say the server is slow. You have to say, slow as compared to... that other server, the way it was yesterday, the way I want it to be... There has to be a basis to work from as well as mechanisms to approach the basis. That's the point that Gail made.
