Max mirroring DB on a 64-bit sysstem?

According to BOL we know

"On a 32-bit system, database mirroring can support a maximum of about 10 databases per server instance because of the numbers of worker threads that are consumed by each database mirroring session."

My question is: What is maximum number of mirrored DB we can deploy on 64-bit system per one sql instance?

It depends. Do you have a 64-CPU box with 1 TB of RAM or a 4 CPU box with 4 GB? The variety of 64-bit hardware available makes specific guidance difficult.

You will need to test your configuration appropriately regardless.

|||

Peter thanks for you answer.

We have got the next configuration :

HP Superdome (1 cell) 4 CPU?(Dual core Itanium 2 1.6GHz, 24 MB Cache),?32GB.

|||

In the case of multiple databases, I use a different tack to overcome the problem. If I find any database failed over, I run SQL commands to fail them all over. "ALTER DATABASE [dbname] SET PARTNER FAILOVER" you must proceed the command with "USE [master]". It works in my case as i am running web code against multiple databases at any given point in time, so I have to have them all failover at the same time anyways. The statement to return the state of each database is "SELECT * from sys.database_mirroring WHERE mirroring_guid IS NOT NULL" I read the values programatically and run the appropriate failover statements depending on the values returned.

|||This was extremely useful, I copied it verbatim into a scheduled task that runs every minute and checks this, because we've had the same issue where only some but not all databases fail over. There should be an SQL Server feature to make multiple databases "atomic" for the purpose of failover.sql

max connections

hello everybody,
does anyone knows the max connections the sql server can work with. i need to know about the sql server capability according to hardware limits ( for exe:how many connection can the sql manege on 2 cpu's computer with 2.gb ram, etc')
thanks
Ruby
Hi
The number of connections would be limited by what you are licenced for. If
you are looking for a figure for the number of connections per second this
will mainly be limited by the capabilities of your network, although if you
expect this to be high you should probably be looking at connection pooling.
You should also look at the work carried out by each person as this will
effect the time they are connected and your hardware maybe incapable of
sustaining a reasonable level of service to the users.
For maximum capacity settings see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ar_ts_8dbn.asp
Your hardware vendor may be able to give you some idea of what you can
expect and your should specify your requirements as part of the tender
process. This should also allow you to benchmark your application on their
hardware as part of the acceptance process.

match columns and replace according to match..

Hey all,

I used to work with Microsoft Foxpro 6 regularly but now I haven't touched it in months and forgot the proper syntax

I have two databases, they're both the same except that one is outdated. I'd like to match the outdated one up to the good one by product code, and replace all product weights with the newer weight, when the codes match.

foxpro is giving me hell about it though, here's the command I'm trying to execute

-------

repla all prods428.product_we with prods.product_we where prods428.product_co = prods.product_co

--------------

in english, replace all old products weight with new products weight, where old products code equals the new product code..

Any help? I'm sure it's just a minor syntax thing. Thanks in advance :)Hey all,
-------
repla all prods428.product_we with prods.product_we where prods428.product_co = prods.product_co
--------------

in english, replace all old products weight with new products weight, where old products code equals the new product code..

Any help? I'm sure it's just a minor syntax thing. Thanks in advance :)
Now I am not a foxpro guru but I have a hunch that you may want to say repace instead of repla. How's that?|||I'd suggest that you start with the REPLACE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fox7help/html/lngreplace.asp) documentation. Your example looks like you are combining the syntax for REPLACE with SQL syntax, and that VFP is having trouble sorting out what you meant!
