Benchmarking a server

is there a freebie utility/database that could benchmark a sqlserver?
Would like to try out different disk configurations (raid, swapfile
location, cluster size, etc) for getting the best results.

Or would I be better off writing a load script to stress the server on
a copy of my own database?

Depending on what you want to test, this is one possible tool:

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...9&Product=sql2k

The SQL 2000 Resource Kit has a tool called DB Hammer (or something
similar) which creates multiple client connections.

But if you want to test how fast various processes (meaning stored
procedure or application code) run, then the best test will be to use
your own test database, because then you know that you're testing
something which is meaningful for you.

Benchmark workload

I`m looking for programs, that could test response from SQL serve db.
I have DB, but it is operational, and I do not like to make any changes on
that DB. But I will have to test server (SQL) on that hardware.
My be program that makes it own generic DB, that can be use on different
hardware
Two recent blog posts about this.

|||You are asking a very broad question w.r.t. benchmarks. The answer depends on
what exactly you want to accomplish or want to test. Is there a specific
question you'd like the benchmark to answer?

Benchmark Software for Microsoft SQL Server

Hi,
Anybody know any TCP-C benchmarking software for Microsoft SQL Server?
Thanks,

Benchmark of SSIS

Hi,

Has anyone seen any benchmark results for SSIS vs Informatica?

Thanks,

David

Mariner

David,

there is document that compares SSIS and informatica here : http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/integration/conchango.mspx

and some comments here:

http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/03/22/1172.aspx

|||Thanks, these are helpful, but are not an offical benchmark between the two products.|||

I haven't seen anything published. I think the SSIS team did some benchmarking internally though whether they would publish those results is a differernt matter. I don't know whether it was compared against other ETL tools either

-Jamie

|||My thoughts are that I wouldn't expect anything to be published because I would guess a polished Informatica tool would kick the pants off of a first-generation Integration Services build.

I would also expect that the next major release of SSIS to be a real threat once they apply their learnings from our feedback and real-world usage.|||

I'm not so sure. Yes INFA have had many more years of doing this but that means that their core engine was built years ago (probably) and I would expect that since then they have tweaked it rather than re-engineered it.

SSIS has been built from the ground up on newer technology (hardware & software) and that cannot be dismissed.

So INFAs maturity/SSISs immaturity could be both an advantage and a disadvantage.

And besides, when it comes down to sheer greasy fast speed at some point you come up against physical limitations so eeking out extra nanoseconds of performance is neither here not there regardless of which you are using.

Phil Brammer wrote:

Ooo that sounds like a challenge Phil

My advice is not to expect too much from the next release. The SQL Server team as a whole have realised the folly of a massive release that took 5 years to build and will be progressing on shorter release tiemframes. Inevitably this means that they won't have time to get everything in there that they would like. On the plus side we get to play with the new bits alot sooner. I also know some of what is coming (though I'm sworn to secrecy). There's stuff that will delight I'm sure whilst at the same time disappointments will be there for stuff that doesn't make it in.

Having said that, I don't think I'll get into too much trouble by saying that you should expect the Script Task/Component to change a whole lot for the better in SSIS 2007

-Jamie

|||Okay, well, the one thing SSIS has going for it is its bias towards using SQL Server databases, and rightfully so. They may have Informatica there, however as of yet, SSIS is not a competitor when using other database platform destinations. So, room to grow if they want.

Jamie, I hear ya though! My comments were based on years of experience with first-gen products, MS software notwithstanding.|||

Benchmark of ODBC vs Oracle Net8 for Connectivity

Do any one have any unbiased benchmarks of the performance differences of
connecting an Oracle 9i DB to MS SQL Server 2000 via ODBC vs NET8?
References for any pros and cons.
Any guidance would be appreciated!!!!
Don't think you can really compare the two in terms of
connecting with SQL Server. You need to use ODBC or OLE DB
to connect to an Oracle database. The server needs to have
the Oracle client installed. You don't use just the Oracle
components (such as Net 8) to connect to Oracle but the
Oracle client components are a part of the connectivity when
using ODBC or OLE DB against an Oracle database.

Benchmark for SQL Server 2005

How cheap (best free) database benchmark do you recommend me for SQL Server 2005(Express Edition)?I don't understand what you want, can you explain a bit more clearly or give an example of what you'd like?

Benchmark for different edition SQL 2000

We want to select the edition between standard and enterprise. Our usage:
1) 10 users/application connect to the server at the same time
2) 5000 row insert per day
3) Our machine is only 1CPU 2.6GHz and 512 MB RAM with window 2000 server
4) One database will be installed
5) The size of the database around 10GB
Because we want to replace the existing SQL6.5 with 400MHz 256MRAM database server.
Please advise. Thanks
Hi,
Based on your configurations and settings I will recommend you to go for SQL

Thanks for your advice. However, I have read the page before and without any idea. The point of availability is confused me. In fact, the standard edition and enterprise edition is no different except?
--Scalability ( useless to us because we only have 1 CPU machine with 512MRAM)
--Availability/uptime (useless to us because we don't have a standby or cluster machine)
--Performance (Time is not so critical because we are just using the 6.5 version now with no complain)
--Advanced analysis ( Analysis is not so critical because we are just using the 6.5 version now with no complain)
I just concern, is it enterprise edition is more stable? or standard edition is easy to down?

That mean from our requirement, standard edition is enough for us?
Also, the memory arrangement is the same between standard and enterprise? I am testing with standard edition, the memory continue to grow from 10M to 110M after I inserted 3000 records. After I re-boot the machine, the memory back to 10M..... Is it I nee
d to re-boot the machine every week to prevent the memory to grow? Or enterprise edition can handle it better?
Any other Enterprise features that better than Standard?

Benchmark for different edition SQL 2000

We want to select the edition between standard and enterprise. Our usage:
1) 10 users/application connect to the server at the same time
2) 5000 row insert per day
3) Our machine is only 1CPU 2.6GHz and 512 MB RAM with window 2000 server
4) One database will be installed
5) The size of the database around 10GB
Because we want to replace the existing SQL6.5 with 400MHz 256MRAM database
server.
Please advise. ThanksHi,
Based on your configurations and settings I will recommend you to go for SQL
Server standard edition.

That mean from our requirement, standard edition is enough for us?
Also, the memory arrangement is the same between standard and enterprise? I
am testing with standard edition, the memory continue to grow from 10M to 11
0M after I inserted 3000 records. After I re-boot the machine, the memory ba
ck to 10M..... Is it I nee
d to re-boot the machine every week to prevent the memory to grow' Or enter
prise edition can handle it better?
Any other Enterprise features that better than Standard?
Thanks

My concern is how to prevent the SQL server that increase the memory usage c

Benchmark for different edition SQL 2000

We want to select the edition between standard and enterprise. Our usage
1) 10 users/application connect to the server at the same tim
2) 5000 row insert per da
3) Our machine is only 1CPU 2.6GHz and 512 MB RAM with window 2000 serve
4) One database will be installe
5) The size of the database around 10G
Because we want to replace the existing SQL6.5 with 400MHz 256MRAM database server
Please advise. ThanksHi,
Based on your configurations and settings I will recommend you to go for SQL
Server standard edition.
Have a look into the below link in choosing the edition of sql server:-

Thanks for your advice. However, I have read the page before and without any idea. The point of availability is confused me. In fact, the standard edition and enterprise edition is no different except
--Scalability ( useless to us because we only have 1 CPU machine with 512MRAM
--Availability/uptime (useless to us because we don't have a standby or cluster machine
--Performance (Time is not so critical because we are just using the 6.5 version now with no complain
--Advanced analysis ( Analysis is not so critical because we are just using the 6.5 version now with no complain
I just concern, is it enterprise edition is more stable? or standard edition is easy to down

area called the mem to leave that gets allocated first. By default it can
use to to 256MB so if you set the max memory to 400 you will most likely
still swap with the OS. While it may be better than not changing anything I
would set it even lower. You stated you only do 5000 inserts a day so you
should not require a lot of memory to operate properly. Try setting it to
300MB and see if that helps. Memory is cheap these days and you might want
to look into adding more later on.

Benchmark for different edition of sql server 2000

Our company is pondering whether we should upgrade from
standard version to enterprise version. Some high level
people is very concerned about the price.
Is there any good article/whitepaper for this? Something
like industry standard, micrsoft recommendataion,etc?
Thanks.What are your reasons for upgrading? Unless you use the features =specific to Enterprise, it might not be worth the cost.
You can refer to http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/default.asp
for all sorts of information on SQL Server.

is around 150-200 GB right now, and support 2000-3000
users. The standard version only support 2G memory. Is it
too little? Currently, when we run the query, most of the
time, it has physical read instead of logical read.

Could be, but it depends of the sweetspot for your memory usage. How about acquiring Developer
Edition and run your benchmark test against this? It is only some $50.
