A Fine Slice Of SQL Server
That’s a wonderful question, and I get asked this all the time.
I can justify the desire for virtualization in the scenario you described. There are a number of reasons to consider virtualization given those constraints.
Virtualize everything, as Klee suggests. The worst case is that administration gets slightly more complex, but the advantages are worth it.
Comments closedSQL Server 2016 has a per-session wait stats DMV: sys.dm_exec_session_wait_stats. That’s exciting; wait stats are extremely interesting, but until now, impossible to use on a per-item level in a busy production system (where you’d most want to use them).
Daniel Farina looks at how the new DMV relates to sys.dm_exec_wait_stats (via Database Weekly):
[R]esetting the data of sys.dm_os_wait_stats operating system view doesn’t affect the values of sys.dm_exec_session_wait_stats view.
Based on my MSDN reading, the sys.dm_exec_session_wait_stats DMV resets if the connection pool context is re-used or if the session closes. This is why DBCC SQLPERF doesn’t include a reset option for session-specific wait stats.
Comments closed32-bit SQL Server is gone; long live 64-bit SQL Server:
Does this mean there will be no 32-bit version of SQL Server 2016? They may make some desktop version; I don’t know nor have I been following. But as a Server product? RIP, and good riddance.
So you can thank (or damn) me for this one. Me, I’m going to celebrate. Where’s my bottle of Coca Cola with real sugar?
Allan Hirt, I thank you. I have one 32-bit device left: it’s a cheap tablet. Let’s not wait until 2038 to get rid of x86.
