Hello

We are running W2003 Server with SQL Server 2000. Now I want to monitor
performance using the administrative tool Performance.
According to the SQL Server 2000 System Administration (Chapter 14), there
should be several SQL Server Performance Objects to track SQL server
activity, but....

I can't find them. What happend, where are they.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Bart

I'm nbot sure uinderstand you. Click Start ---Run ----perfmon.
On the sceen right click and Add counters. There is Perfomance Object
combobox where you can choose many counters for SQL Server as well
 
Some Extra information (Had a chat with our System Administrator).

The W2003 Server runs 2 SQL servers. 1 SQL Server 2000 and another that came
with our backup program (BACKUPEXEC) to store backup information. The last
one I can see in the Performance Monitor. But that's not the one I would
like to monitor. Any idea how to get the objects of the other SQL server
into the performance monitor, or maybe how to swap them.

thanks
Bart
 
Thanks Uri, but none of the provided solutions helped.

Maby it is because the SQL Server used by our Backup Program (BACKUPEXEC) is
a DESKTOP version.
The 'real' SQL Server used for our data is an ENTERPRISE edition.

FYI. I'm not interested in the performance of the DESKTOP version. So those
may be eliminated from the Perfmon.

By the way, the reason I'm so eager to see the performance, is because we
plugged in an additional 2GB (making it 4GB) and I can't see any difference
in (heavy) query speeds. So I lookup the tuning part in the SQLS2000 System
Administration book and that talked about the perfmon.

I have my doubt that a 'bad' written query will perform better if you add
more memory. I'd run SQL Server Profiler to identify long running queries
and start tunning them
 
That would be the next step, but I got stuck at perfmon, because I couldn't
find any counters.

I'll skip to that part now, and hope to find info on the counters in the
mean time. If you have any more info, please let me know.

Bart
 
I've looked into this, but I don't think this option applies to my
situation. First we are using Window 2003 Server Standard, and second this
is for very large memory sizes. We only have 4 GB. But thanks for the
support. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Regards
Bart
