OLTP and OLAP databases on same SQL Server?

Would you put OLTP and OLAP databases on same SQL Server or separate?
I realize the ideal would be separate, but that means 2 expensive licenses instead of 1. Most of our OLTP stuff happens during the day while OLTP processing happens at night (so good use of resources) if just 1 server. Also, the disks that hold
the files could have different allocations (small chunks for the OLTP disks, large for the OLAP disks). Also, by being on the same database server, the OLTP data is immediately accessible for processing into the warehouse.
Or, is it just a cardinal rule to never mix the two worlds as server completely different purposes?
Thanks.

Answer given in simillar below thread would help you for sure:

Is keeping your OLAP and OLTP databases on the same server is considered bad practice?

Oracle dblink to sql server, accessing multiple database on same sql server under one dblink

Hi, we have successfully managed to set up an Oracle dblink over to sql server and retrieve data.
The sql server user were using via the dblink has access to more than one database on the same sql server
But the question is how in oracle (if at all possible) do you prefix the sql statement to access this ?
Eg:
Sqlserver_prod has user sqlserver_user which appears to be set up as default database on sqlserver_db1
But we have select access to sqlserver_db2
all work fine as sqlserver_user
select * from table_fromdb1
select * from dbo.table_fromdb1
select * from sqlserver_db1.dbo.table_fromdb1
as does
select * from sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
over in Oracle
Oracle_db has dblink sqlserver_prod.world connecting as sqlserver_user
all working fine
select * from "table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
select * from "dbo"."table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
but how (if at all possible) do I access from oracle
sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
without having to create a new sqlserver_db2_user referenced in a new dblink
if oracle to oracle would be
select * from remote_oracle_schema.table@remote_oracle_db

Hi, ok cheers, I see, original gateway was connecting purely at host_name level
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host
Planning to amend this to be
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db1
With exisiting dblink
And to create new gateway
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db2
With new exisitng dblink,will see how we get on
Cheers again

Run Reporting services 2005 with databases housed on SQL Server 2012?

Hi, I have a RS 2005 install in which the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases reside on a different SQL Server 2005 server. I am planning to upgrade DB server to 2012 and would like to keep SSRS as 2005.As a second phase I will upgrade SSRS2005
to SSRS 2008. So I would be running something like this:
Server A: SQL 2005 Reporting Services
Server B: SQL 2012 database engine - housing ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
Is this configuration supported?

Hello,
According to the
BOL, Report Server service checks the database version at startup. If the report server is connected to a database that is an earlier version, the report server will update the database during startup.If you have a newer report server database, you
cannot use it with an earlier version of a report server instances.
In that case, the earlier versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the SSRS report server databases. For example, In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, we can use either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 to host the databases, for
SSRS 2012, we can use SQL Server 2012,2008 R2,2008,2005.
Based on my test, In the Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager, we can create a new database on a remote SQL Server 2012 database engine and the Initialization is successful.
In this way, the databases are created from the script file which installed with the Reporting Services instance, you can find the Catalog.sql and CatalogTempDB.sql under folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer.
However, when upgrade the existing ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database on the SQL Server 2012 by restore from a backup, we cannot use this existing database for Reporting Services 2005 and get the following message:
The database version (162) does not match your reporting serivces installation.And the initialization failed.
In your case, you can host the ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database of SSRS 2005 on SQL Server 2012 database enginer by create a new database from Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager. But you cannot use the existing
database which upgrade to SQL Server 2012.

SAP and Database Encrption on SQL Server 2005 or 2008

Hi. I searched as best I could for any existing threads on this topic, and could not find any, so I hope it's OK to raise a new one.
We're running SAP ECC 6.0 on a SQL 2005 database. Database size is around 3.3 TB, with Trans Log of about 550GB, storage is HP EVA.
I've been asked to report on how Database Encryption would impact our systems, both from the perspective of enabling it initially and then how it would affect performance going forward.
I've read a few White Papers, for example:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ab89e84-0d01-0010-cda2-82ddc3548c65?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
.. and from what I'm reading, it looks like I would want to be moving to SQL Server 2008 as a first step. Does anyone have any experience of implementing SQL encryption for a SAP database, either in 2K5 or 2K8?
All comments or help will be welcomed.
Thanks

Although you can install like the configuration you said above, we do not recommend you do it this way. If your SQL box has problems, all the data will go away and you will not have data redundancy.
You need to configure the different SQL Port and SQL Broke service port e.g.
SQL port 4023 SQL Broke Service port 4022 for CAS instance
SQL port 4024 SQL Broke Service port 4021 for PRI instance

I agree with Johan and this configuration should not be used. But I want to clarify that the default ports for "SQL port" (actually, SQL over TCP) is 1433 and the SQL Broker Service uses 4022. The configuration above should work but the "correct" would be
to use 1433 and 4022 for the CAS and 10434 and 4023 for the Primary :)

Restore BizTalk Servers on the same SQL Server

Hi
If I need to do a recovery of the BizTalk databases to a point in time before a hardware failure on the same SQL Server, how do I achive this?I have seen the only recommended method is to use log shipping, but is this to restore Databases onto another SQL
Server? If I just want to restore all Databases onto the same server, how would I achive this.
Thanks in advance

The only supported Backup/Restore scenario for BizTalk Server, is using the SQL Agent job:
Backup BizTalk Server (BizTalkMgmtDb)
If you had this job running before the hardware failure, it will have backed up your databases both Full and Log (Differential).
Use these backup files for restore, just as you normally would when restoring SQL Server databases.

Problem with "Database Gateway for SQL Server"

Hello,
i am testing the different technologies for connecting an oracle database with a sql-server database.
The way using 10g-generic-connectivity with ODBC works fine, but the 11g-DG4MSQL makes problems.
Environment:
Server PEGASUS (32bit Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2) with Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0
Server OBELIXUS (32bit Windows 2000 Sp4) with MS-SQL-Server 2005
On PEGASUS i have installed the gateway in a new oracle home directory:

===========================================================
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora:

Using the -force command as Saleesh noted should work, but will kill your contacts. If it's just a few users that are acting up, you can restore the contacts from backup for these users (export-csuserdata before you start).
Is it all users, or just a handful?

Add multiple users to a certain database in the SQL server in one go

I wonder if there is any method to add multiple users to a certain database in the SQL server in one go and without using transact code.
I can add a single user to a certain database “Q” for example by right click on the user “U1” for example then properties then in user mapping tab select
the database “Q”, so there should be a method to add multiple users ( U1,U2,U3…) to this database?
Best Regards,
Ahmad

Many thanks Visakh16,
I can do this using the below script, but what I am searching for is do to this without any scripting.
USE TestDatabase; --Make sure you have the right database
DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(MAX) = '';
SELECT @sql = @sql + 'CREATE USER ' + name + ' FOR LOGIN ' + name + ';
' +
'GRANT CREATE TABLE, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE VIEW, VIEW DEFINITION TO ' + name + ';
FROM sys.server_principals p
WHERE p.type in ('S','U') -- SQL Logins and Windows Login. Do not change!
and p.name in ('U1','U2','U3'); -- List of names to add. alter to suit
PRINT @sql; -- Show the statements being executed in the messages pane
EXEC(@sql); -- Run the statements that have been built
Thanks,
Ahmad

Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at SERVERNAME

I have installed SQL 2008 R2 in a fresh win 2008 R2. I’m running the sharepoint configuration Wizard using the database server name with the correct domain
credentials but I get the following error message. “Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at
SERVERNAME. The database might not exist, or the current user does not have permission to connect”
I‘m able to login to the new SQL server using the “SQL server management studio” with no problems. I used the sa account and a domain account.
The sharepoint server is also a new installation. And both servers have the firewall disabled.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon

Hi,
What is your SharePoint server’s version?
Please make sure you use the farm admin account to launch SharePoint configuration wizard. If not, please log in with this account, then check the effect.
In addition, check if you create a named instance, such as, servername\sharepoint, however, you only specify the servername in the configuration wizard. If this is
the case, change to servername\sharepoint, then check the effect.
Thanks,
Rock Wang

Migrate oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

Hi All,
I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
Platform : Aix
Kindly help me out

Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

About the MDF and log_LDF file in the SQL server

Hai Experts ,
I need known the , What is MDF and log_ldf file .
In our BPC server there are MDF and Log_LDF file in the MSSQLSERVER folder under the E drive.
The both file have huge database size .
Can u explain what is MDF and Log_LDF file , why its created ....
Regards
Daya......................

Hi Daya
Those files are the actual SQL database files, in SQL Server management console, you have a logical view of the database with all of the objects within the database. The *.MDF and *.LDF files are the actual physical files which makes up the database in SQL Server. (Where the actual data is stored...)
The MDF file is the actual data file
The LDF file is the transaction log file, SQL Server uses this file in order maintain ACID compliance. It uses transactions to ensure that the database will always revert to a known consistent state on failure.
More Info:
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server]
You don't provide much information regarding the environment, i.e (DEV, QA, PROD, etc), but your *.LDF file should not be bigger that your *.MDF file, and if it is quite large, then you will need your DBA to shrink your Transaction Log file.
[http://databases.about.com/od/sqlserver/a/truncate_shrink.htm]
[http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/threads/transaction-log-file-will-not-shrink.15877/]

What is OLTP and OLAP in BW .

Hi friends
Q: what is OLTP and OLAP.
Q: SAP-BW follows which process OLTP or OLAP and explain the difference.

Hi Vrushabh,
Ans-1. OLTP vs OLAP
OLTP : Online Transaction Processing (Operational System)
OLAP : Online Analytical Processing (Data Warehouse)
a. Source of data
OLTP : Operational data; OLTPs are the original source of the data.
OLAP : Consolidation data; OLAP data comes from the various OLTP Databases
b. Purpose of data
OLTP : To control and run fundamental business tasks
OLAP : To help with planning, problem solving, and decision support.
c. What the data Reveals
OLTP : A snapshot of ongoing business processes
OLAP : Multi-dimensional views of various kinds of business activities.
d. Inserts and Updates
OLTP : Short and fast inserts and updates initiated byend users
OLAP : Periodic long-running batch jobs refresh the data
e. Queries
OLTP : Relatively standardized and simple queries Returning relatively few records.
OLAP : Often complex queries involving aggregations
f. Processing Speed
OLTP : Typically very fast
OLAP : Depends on the amount of data involved; batch data refreshes and complex queries may take many hours; query speed can be improved by creating indexes
g. Space Requirements
OLTP : Can be relatively small if historical data is archived. OLAP : Larger due to the existence of aggregation structures and history data; requires more indexes than OLTP
h. Database Design
OLTP : Highly normalized with many tables
OLAP : Typically de-normalized with fewer tables; use of star and/or snowflake schemas
i. Backup and Recovery
OLTP : Backup religiously; operational data is critical to run the business, data loss is likely to entail significant monetary loss and legal liability
OLAP : Instead of regular backups, some environments may consider simply reloading the OLTP data as a recovery method.
Ans -2 SAP BW follows OLAP.
Reward points if helpful.

Hi Tony,
Besides Bruce’s post, firstly, SQL Server Express is a free SQL Server edition,
you can download SQL Server 2014 Express directly from
this link and install it on your computer. For how to install SQL Server 2014 Express, please follow the steps in this similar
blog.
Secondly, for more information about hardware and software requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014 Express, please review this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx .
Thirdly, SQL Server Express has the following limitations:
• 1 physical processor
• 1 GB of RAM
• 4 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server 2008 Express , 10 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and higher versions of SQL Server Express.
However, there is no limit to the numbers of databases in SQL Server Express. And there is no technical limit to the number of connection that SQL Express can handle.
In addition, there are several methods to convert an Access database to SQL Server, such as using
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard and
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access, they are both free tools. For more information about convert an Access database to SQL Server, please review this
KB article.
Thanks,

Steps to change universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10

Hi,
we are moving from sql server to Oracle 10.Please let me know the steps and various parameters I should consider while changing universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10.
Following are the steps which I assumed :
1.     create a new Oracle database connection or edit the existing connection to point to Oracle server
2.     Need to check sql for each object, having integrity check for universe will solve the purpose of parsing each object
3.     Exporting the universe after integrity check
4.     Report data testing
Let me know if I miss on any steps.Also what all factors I need to consider while moving to Oracle for eg: what @ custom sql,what @ table names,what @ LOV etc.
Kindly reply

Thanks Abhijeet and Shreyash,
I will follow the steps you have suggested.
Actually I was searching for this on net and got to know that with Oracle database connection,theres lot of stuff needs to take care of in terms of custom sql and LOV and in our case,we have lot of custom sql for each object in the universe so just wanted to confirm.
I will do the changes and let you guys know in case theres any isuue specifically to Oracle.
