Comment on My Favorite New(ish) 2008 Feature (Resource Governor) by stefbauer

I will try to get around to writing something for that, it is actually a quite good question! For the quick version, I would start by looking at the DMV’s there are three for the resource gov. (only 2 matter) sys.resource_governor_resource_pools and sys.resource_governor_workload_groups. In addition most every session-level DMV now has a group-id presented in the view such as in sys.dm_exec_sessions and sys.dm_exec_requests. The obvious downside to these is they are reporting on what is currently happening, so if something got to the wrong pool… it has already happened, and if you are not trapping things to a user table regularly you will not see what happened in the past. Unfortunatly there is no simple answer, or at least nothing already built in….

Very good. I have been searching everywhere for anything related to monitoring. I have created several pools and intentionally throttled the default back to 20%. My intention is to put all intended users into the pools I defined and then run a job that would throw an alert if an unplanned user wound up in the default pool. So, I wonder if there is a way to get a list of users that are in a group or a pool.

Comment on SSIS Checksum – a must have skill by stefbauer

I agree…. based on testing, other’s feedback (as well as your experience) I need to update this post, there are clearly some issues with this component. I stand by need to use (and understand) checksum processing for loading data…. I think the module I discuss has some issues. I have had good feedback about the http://ssismhash.codeplex.com/ Multiple Hash component you can get from codeplex. I need to do some additional testing before I post the changes, but you are clearly on the right track.

Thanks for the feedback!!!

I tested this component using “framework checksum” because it is supposed to use a md5 algorithm. I expected to have a 32 characters string as a result, which is not the case with this component (the outpout is an integer). So I will use Multiple Hash component which is give me the expected result…Am I wrong?

Comment on Help — My disk performance IV by sqlserverio

Is a test reproducible by a third party? Is it something I could run and test? If so I would watch what is actually happening at the file level and see what may be speeding things up with the multiple log files.
