Overview
• Business requirements
– Time and location
– Processes
– Expectations
• Technology
– Hardware
– DBMS software
– Application software
Barriers to Availability
Primary Server or DBMS Barriers
• Database failure or disaster
– Hardware failure
– Human-made disaster
– Natural disaster

Database Server Failure or Disaster
Overview
• Failover clustering
• Database mirroring
• Now many alternatives available
–

–
–
Peer to peer replication (new)
Standard replication topologies
Log shipping
Backup and restore
Detach, copy, attach
Database Server Failure or Disaster
Failover Clustering
• Provides a hot standby
• Built on Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS)
– Multiple nodes (Now 8)
– Automatic failover of instance (~20 seconds)
– Certified hardware required
•
•
•
•
Zero committed work loss
Single copy of instance databases
Standby not available for any other use
Supports more SQL services

2nd Private ‘Heartbeat’ network
Shared Disk Array
Database Server Failure or Disaster
Database Mirroring
• Provides a hot standby (instant)
• Database failover
– Very fast automatic failover (less than 3 seconds)
– Transparent client redirect
•
•
•
•
Zero committed work loss
Some performance impact
Maximum one mirror for each database
Standby not directly available for any other use

Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Database Server Failure or Disaster
Database Mirroring Hardware
• No special hardware required
– Requires a second server
– Servers do not need duplicate hardware
• Virtually no distance limitations
– No shared disk arrays
– Transaction latency requirements determine acceptable
network latency

Database Snapshots
•
•
•
•
•
Read-only
Static view of database
Transaction consistent at point of time
Does not store all data pages
Reads only original data pages
– Reads data from snapshot if data has changed
– Reads data from database if data has not changed
• Increases disk I/O of source database

Data Access Concurrency Limitations
Pessimistic Concurrency Controls
•
•
•
•
Default Setting and Behavior
Designed for Data Integrity
SELECT Operations Require Shared Resource Locks
Different Isolation Levels Control Behavior of Shared
Locks
MS-2072 Administering a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database
Data Access Concurrency Limitations
Optimistic Concurrency Controls
• Optional setting and behavior
• Implemented using row versioning
• Designed for data integrity but allows reads of
committed data
• SELECT operations do not require shared resource
locks
• Different isolation levels control behavior of
committed reads
Data Access Concurrency Limitations
Row Versioning
• Several Uses
–
–
–
–
Triggers for Inserted and Deleted tables
Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS) sessions
ONLINE Index Operations
Optimistic concurrency controls (row snapshots)
• Versions built in tempdb for all modified rows
• Versions deleted when no remaining transaction or
operation needs them
Data Access Concurrency Limitations
Snapshot Isolation Level
• Reads committed data at time of transaction start
• ALLOW _SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION database option
• TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SNAPSHOT
session option
Data Access Concurrency Limitations
ONLINE Index Operations
• Table accessible for reads and modifications during
ONLINE index operations
• Existing non-clustered indexes available to optimize
during ONLINE clustered index operations
• Non-clustered index is not available during its index
operation
Data Access Concurrency Limitations
ONLINE Index Operation Commands
•
•
•
•
CREATE INDEX
ALTER INDEX
DROP INDEX
ALTER TABLE
– ADD or DROP of UNIQUE index
– ADD or DROP of PRIMARY KEY with CLUSTERED index
option

Data access concurrency limitations
Database Partitioning
Database Partitioning
• Designed for:
– VLDB with very large tables (ie 100’s GB)
– Large systems with 8, 16, 32 or more “real” CPUs
• Replace partitioned views where partitions are in
a single database
Database Partitioning
• Partition Function – each row of a table is
assigned to a partition (ie 1, 2, 3…)
• Currently only a single column but workaround
with persisted calculated columns
• Partition Scheme – each partition for a partition
function is mapped to a filegroup
demonstration
Implementing and Using Database
Partitions
Session Summary
• Several new features available in SQL Server
2005 to protect against server failure
• Database snapshots can be used to protect
against application, user, or administrative error
• Use the new optimistic concurrency controls and
ONLINE index operations to reduce database
contention issues
