624.0. "Help SQL running slow" by WOTVAX::MCERLANEV (Don't look at ME) Mon Feb 17 1997 08:37

    Can anyone help.
    
    I have a customer who is running sql server on an Intel cluster of dual
    Prioris ZX 166's.
    
    Everything with the cluster appears to be OK but Sql queries take a
    very long time.
    
    Versions:SQL 6.5,NT clusters 1.0 with service pack 1, NT V3.51 with
    service pack 5, clusters are enabled and the failover works OK.
    
    The customer has tested this with a two column table inserting 20
    rows in a two column table taking up to 7 seconds.
    
    They run an application on the client called Powerbuilder and the
    commands they use are Insert then Go. I dont know SQL but it appears
    that the insert/go sequence causes the problem.
    
    As this is all second hand, can anyone help, I am sure something is
    wrong but dont know what.
    
    Help,help,help
    
    tks

    Does this application run 'slowly' without the cluster? 
    
    What in Performance Monitor have you looked at? 
    
    Have you done any traces to see what optimizer strategy is being 
    used? 
    
    Have you used SQL TRACE to see what sql statements are being sent 
    by Powerbuilder? 
    
624.2Connection establishment is slowDECWET::CAPPELLOFMy other brain is a polymerTue Feb 18 1997 11:168
    I suspect that the slow performance is caused when the client makes the
    initial connection to the SQL server.  The Cluster client software adds
    an extra delay when named pipe connections are made.  After the
    connection is established, there should be no performance impact.
    
    If your client disconnects and reconnects for each query, it could be
    pretty slow.  Version 1.1 of NT Clusters improves this performance
    somewhat.  This version will be released soon.
624.3Now Runs WellCHEFS::vfr750.reo.dec.com::harrisonbThu Feb 20 1997 10:376
The resolution to this problem was to install a new redirector on the client
It now flies along.
