- 20. DATABASE GROWTH Database size can be fixed / auto grow Fixed databases minimize file fragmentation Auautogrowth leads to file fragmentation. Sp_spaceused to query space allocation in DB Can Decrease the size by auto shrink property Autoshrink leads to index fragmentation Also can use dbccshrinkfile/dbccshrinkdatabase Both require membership sysadmin fixed server role or db_owner Cant make a DB smaller than the initially specified size.

- 30. BENCHMARKING SQL SERVER Prior to Installing SQL Server DBA must perform an Benchmarking process Validate the Server Resources against the Requirements of the Installation SQLIO is tool dtermine the capacity of the IO Subsystem Measures Measure I/O per/sec Throughput Mb/sec Latency By reading & writing files of different sizes Saturation point can be identified by increaseing the load SQLIOSIM – is included in SQL 2012 instance SQLIOSIM perform similar task it replaces SQLIOStress utility in earlier versions of SQL Server
