Transaction Log VLFs Too Many or Too Few

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:51:17 GMT

Kimberly L Tripp writes "While having WAY too many VLFs because of auto-growth is still the most common form of problem within transaction logs, another problem has been creeping up more and more... too few VLFs...First, here's how the log is divided into VLFs. Each "chunk" that is added, is divided into VLFs at the time the log growth..."

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:12:52 GMT

Tips and Tricks with SQL Server Indexing

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:00:28 GMT

Kimberly L Tripp writes "If you work with SQL Server in almost any capacity, you need to get a feel for at least some aspect of indexing for performance...what is “finding the right balance” in indexing? In my opinion, there are three requirements/pre-requisites: 1. knowing the data 2. knowing how the users use the data 3. knowing how the underlying structures and database stores/manipulates and uses indexes... I'll start with a smaller more digestible piece - internals."

It's frustrating that this behavior (with sp_ named objects) no longers works in 2005/2008 but at least the sp_MS_marksystemobject still sets the behavior so that we can create this one proc in master but use it in all other databases."
