How do you know how much hardware is really needed by your applications? And what do you do when your applications are overloading your system? The answer lies with improving your SQL performance. You have to tune your hardware SQL server and monitor performance, all of which will be explained as clearly as possible on this page.
The first thing to do when you want to improve your SQL performance is you need to learn how to optimize your system by finding out how much hardware you really need to run your applications. The best way to tune your hardware and monitor performance is through the art of performance monitoring which takes experience, knowledge, and sometimes even luck.
Performance monitoring guidelines:
Make sure you’re running your typical processes and work loads during the monitoring.
Don’t only do a real-time monitoring of your servers; capture long running logs.
Always have the disk counters turned ON.
Set up the chart windows with an interval of 18 seconds for routine, daily desktop monitoring.
Know the tools you are working with.
Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Know the terminology (“objects” are lists of individual stats available; “counter” is a single stat; “instance” is further breakdown of a counter stat into duplicate components).
A bottleneck happens when the hardware resources can’t keep up with the demands of the software. This is usually fixed in one of two ways: first, you identify the limiting hardware and increase its potential (i.e. a faster hard drive or increase the speed of the computer); second, make the software processes use the hardware more efficiently.
Five areas to watch when improving SQL performance and identifying bottlenecks:
Memory usage
CPU processor utilization
Disk input/output performance
User connections
Blocking locks
First Date Tips and Tricks
The first date: what to wear, where to go, what to say, what to do and what not to do. All this pressure to make a good first impression can be daunting. After all, you know practically nothing about each other and the whole point of a first date is to judge (as much as we don’t like to admit it) whether or not we think we’d like to get to know each other better. But first dates don’t have to be elaborate or fancy in order for you to secure that coveted second or third date. There are some things you will want to do and others you will want to avoid on a first date to ensure its success and the possibility of future dates as well.
How to Backup a PC
Everyone thinks, ‘it won’t happen to me’. But what if it does? All your files, pictures and documents gone, in an instant. Sure, you can reach for the disks that came with your computer to reinstall the applications but what about the most important component, your data? Data backup is something too many computer owners ignore.
