SQL server performance , low CPU utilization

  • Hi,

    I am having a SQL 2000 SP3 d/b on win2k server, that is updated everday with thousands of new records on few tables. Whenever there is lot of INSERTs going on, the SELECt queries are performing slower and vice versa. the d/b is quite big, close to 50gb.

    Will it help if we batch the insert statements? If we run data updates and reporting simultaneously the d/b response comes down a lot , but the CPU utilization is very low too. What tuning options are applicable for this scenario? which SQL perf counters I need to monitor to detect the bottleneck ?

    thanks in advance,

    Andy.

  • Can you run the insert during low system usage time?

    It looks like you have blocking issue. Read KB at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;224453

     

  • I would check the physical disk object's various queue length counters to see if your disk subsystem is the bottleneck.
