Learning SQL on SQL Server 2005 $35.99 Anyone who interacts with today’s modern databases needs to know SQL (Structured Query Language), the standard language for generating, manipulating, and retrieving database information. In recent years, the dramatic rise in the popularity of relational databases and multi-user databases has fueled a healthy demand for application developers and others who can write SQL code efficiently and correctly. If you’re new to databases, or need a SQL refresher, Learning SQL on SQL Server 2005 is an ideal step-by-step introduction to this database query tool, with everything you need for programming SQL using Microsoft’s SQL Server 2005-one of the most powerful and popular database engines used today. Plenty of books explain database theory. This guide lets you apply the theory as you learn SQL. You don’t need prior database knowledge, or even prior computer knowledge. Based on a popular university-level course designed by authors Sikha Saha Bagui and Richard Walsh Earp, Learning SQL on SQL Server 2005 starts with very simple SQL concepts, and slowly builds into more complex query development. Every topic, concept, and idea comes with examples of code and output, along with exercises to help you gain proficiency in SQL and SQL Server 2005. With this book, you’ll learn: Beginning SQL commands, such as how and where to type an SQL query, and how to create, populate, alter and delete tables How to customize SQL Server 2005′s settings and about SQL Server 2005′s functions About joins, a common database mechanism for combining tables Query development, the use of views and other derived structures, and simple set operations Subqueries, aggregate functions and correlated subqueries, as well as indexes and constraints that can be added to tables in SQL Server 2005 Whether you’re an undergraduate computer science or MIS student, a self-learner who has access to the new Microsoft database, or work for your company’s IT department, Learning SQL on SQL Server 2005 will get you up to speed on SQL in no time. |

How SQL Server Monitoring Counters Can Help
SQL server counters are special tools used within SQL server monitoring. They enable you to measure many aspects of SQL Server performance. Collecting the data over time enables you to see historic trends for current and future SQL Server optimization efforts. These counters can be utilized for specific metrics of your choice. Using these counters will make it fast and simple to find and fix SQL server performance issues.
Discover more SQL Server monitoring tactics.
We have put together a short list of 5 typical SQL server counters to use in your SQL server optimization.
1. Buffer Manager: Page Life Expectancy
A counter of page life expectancy will measure the amount of time a page stays in the buffer cache. Their unit of measure is in seconds. When a page resides in the memory, the SQL server will not need to read it from a disk. The performance of the system will increase with increased page life expectancy.
2. Batch Requests/Second
The amount of batches a SQL server can get per second is measured by batch requests/per second. It shows the activity that a SQL server is currently processing. As the numbers grow, so do the number of query executions. Optimization of a SQL server requires you to take these measurements often to discover the SQL server performance over a period of time.
3. SQL Compilations/Second
The measurement of SQL compilations/second refers to the amount of execution plan a SQL server can compile in a second. This is a process that is known to be very resource intensive and could potentially hurt the performance of your SQL server. The comparison of SQL compilations/second and batch requests/second enables DBAs to determine if compilations are a cause for poor SQL performance.
4. Buffer Cache Hit Ratio
The buffer cache hit ratio measures how often SQL Server finds data pages in its buffer cache when a query requests one. Numbers close to 100 indicate better performance, as SQL server was able to get data for queries from memory instead from disk.
Learn about the benefits of SQL Server optimization.
5. Lock Waits/Second
Occasionally, SQL Server must lock system resources in order to manage large numbers of concurrent users. Lock waits/seconds is a measurement that counts how many times a SQL server couldn't retain a lock. Failure to retain a lock negatively impacts SQL Server performance. The ideal SQL monitoring target is zero, and performance will suffer as the numbers get higher.
