3 Improving Production Operations of SQL Server Microsoft SQL Server provides a reliable and scalable database solution. However, unless you apply some basic processes to managing your SQL Server environment, it is likely you will encounter common problems, unpredictable performance, unexpected hardware upgrades, and the resultant unhappy users. For the DBA, applying basic processes and solutions to improve SQL Server availability and performance produces happier users and a more stable, predictable work environment. Of course, satisfied users and stability also helps the organization the DBA supports. During database outages, user performance suffers, as does the credibility of and confidence in the corporate IT department. The Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) provides technical guidance on effectively operating and supporting Microsoft technologies, including SQL Server. MOF is extremely comprehensive, offering white papers, operations guides, assessment tools, best practices, case studies, templates, support tools and services. This extensive knowledge set helps address the people, process, technology, and management issues related to maintaining high availability and performance. Using examples from the NetIQ SQL Management Suite, this white paper outlines several of the MOF best practices for SQL Server, and shows you how to quickly improve production SQL Server operations. Service-Level Expectations The first steps toward improving production SQL Server operations is identifying the level of availability and performance SQL Server users need to keep the business running. Then, you need to determine if that level of service is possible with the systems, processes, and budget available. The popularity of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) has grown and evolved since they were first introduced in the 1960s. This evolution from measuring technical services like data center uptime by IT departments to the much more broad-reaching SLAs of today. Now, SLAs are developed through detailed back-and-forth discussions between IT departments and business customers. Customers often use outside sources for research, benchmarking and final negotiations. For a quicker solution, we recommend developing service-level expectations. Even if you do not have the time and resources to develop formal SLAs, you can identify key metrics to determine if SQL Server availability and performance meets the needs of your business users. Service-level expectation criteria includes: Acceptable transaction response times Daily/weekly maintenance time Acceptable recovery times Acceptable information loss (if any) Fault reporting and resolution system Possible budgetary impact Improving Production SQL Server Operations 1
4 Once you determine acceptable criteria against which you want to measure expectations, there are many automated monitoring and management tools to help track availability and performance, such as NetIQ AppManager. These solutions constantly monitor the SQL Server environment, and alert you when exception conditions occur. NetIQ AppManager automatically runs user transactions at regular intervals and tracks response. The spikes in the above screenshot highlight exceptions to normal response times. Best Practices After service-level expectations are identified in your production operation, focus improvement efforts on the following four key areas: Operations management Managing current SQL Server performance and tracking values over a longer period to identify trends Support management Troubleshooting and avoiding data problems Change management Identifying changes made to systems and how changes differ from systems in a model or golden state Capacity management Ensuring current systems are optimized and accurately predicting when new systems are necessary You can improve production operations by implementing best practices in any or all of these areas. 2 White Paper
5 Operations Management Operations management involves ensuring SQL Server runs at optimal performance. Remembering to monitor performance from both a short- and a long-term perspective is extremely important. To address immediate problems, you need to monitor and know about outages and trouble areas before users experience them. You need real-time, immediate monitoring of the following SQL Server information: Buffer cache hit ratio CPU and I/O usage Full scans Lock waits Logins Memory usage Network activity Oldest open transactions Page life expectancy Page lookups and requests Page splits Physical disk activity Procedure cache hit ratios Procedure cache sizes Processes Read ahead pages Replication latency and transaction counts Server response times SQL batches SQL compilations and recompilations Table locks escalations Tempdb usage Work files and work tables Tracking these values over time allows you to determine if a short-term anomaly is really an exception to your performance record or a regular occurrence at a specific time. For example, does a spike in I/O usage on Tuesday morning represent a one-time exception or an event that occurs every Tuesday morning? Tracking performance over time also helps when an alternate DBA needs to work on an unfamiliar system. Instead of having to guess if current system loads are normal, this DBA can use real historical information to recognize normal conditions versus exceptions that need to be addressed. Improving Production SQL Server Operations 3
6 NetIQ DiagnosticManager stores data for more than 20 specific performance areas, and can give you either a real-time view or a view of performance over time. Support Management Support management requires the management of data issues. DBAs commonly receive requests for tracing and tracking changes to data. For example, Who released that purchase order? or Is it a user or an application that is entering this incorrect data? A common way to determine the cause of data changes is to investigate stored procedures/triggers to try to pinpoint where the application changed data in a specific way, as well as the events leading to the user or application making the changes. This in-depth investigation can be challenging, especially in complex environments or for complex applications. Another common situation involves the discovery of seemingly small changes that have huge impacts on both database and user productivity. For example, a company updates its customer database from ZipCodes to ZIP+4 with an update procedure but forgets that their customer database also includes Canadian customers. The minor update effectively eliminates their ability to ship to thousands of customers. They restore their backup from the previous evening and ask users to re-key any data entered throughout the day. 4 White Paper
7 Utilizing the SQL Server transaction log can help you avoid scenarios like the one described above. NetIQ RecoveryManager (powered by Lumigent Log Explorer) is the only tool that exposes the contents of the transaction log to the SQL DBA. RecoveryManager allows you to research the source of data changes and back out transactions in error while the database is online, keeping SQL Server available while fixing otherwise time and resource extensive problems. NetIQ RecoveryManager makes data in the SQL Server transaction log useful. It provides online undo capability for individual transactions, restores dropped tables, and permits investigation of data change history by users and applications. Change Management In most organizations, multiple people have access to servers. Multiple DBAs might share responsibility for a computer. Even more common, the DBA has to share access to a computer with the Windows or network administrator. In these environments, it is vital to know what changes are made to SQL Servers and how those changes compare to a known-good working state. When changes are not tracked, it is easy for problems to occur. For example, a DBA and a network administrator share the administration of a SQL Server database server. The network administrator decides to make the server a BDC as a precaution in case there is a problem with the network PDC. Of course, SQL Server performance remains fine until the PDC fails and the BDC is promoted. Being aware of this type of change in a production SQL Server environment is definitely a best practice. Improving Production SQL Server Operations 5
8 SQL Server areas for which to maintain change histories include the following: Environment (hardware and operating system) Application software and services Database schema (tables, columns, indexes) Security (permissions, groups, roles) SQL Server configuration settings NetIQ ConfigurationManager keeps a history of more than 200 configuration settings affecting performance. These settings range from changes to hardware through changes to the operating system into changes to SQL Server instances themselves. Capacity Management With the constant demands and everyday fire fighting involved in database administration, capacity management and planning is often ignored. Unfortunately, ignoring capacity management usually results in unpredicted and unbudgeted hardware requests. Ensuring the optimized use of current servers is the first best practice in capacity management. Are stored procedures or triggers consistently performing poorly? If so, direct your performance tuning efforts towards them to get the best return from available hardware. 6 White Paper
9 Of course, even with tuning, you need to address database growth. Businesses today have an insatiable need for data, and they want immediate access to that data. To understand how SQL Servers are growing, you need to gather long-term growth statistics on: Database growth Table growth Index growth Table fragmentation By understanding the inter-relationships of how table and index growth affects overall database growth over time, it becomes easy to predict when hardware upgrades will be required. DiagnosticManager highlights the databases with the greatest growth both in space and rows. Within each database, the product displays the tables that have been responsible for that growth. Improving Production SQL Server Operations 7
