Re: Batch Size



Robert,
Not to worry, the private "SQL Server 2005" newsgroup has been taken down as
SQL Server 2005 RTM'ed today (10/27/05), so now this fulltext newsgroup is
officially both SQL Server 2000 FTS and SQL Server 2005 FTS (SQL2005FTS),
checkout my blog entry from today for some of the initial details: "SQL
Server 2005 has RTM'ed !!"

You're reading the SQL 2005 BOL title "Performance Tuning and Optimization
(Full-Text Search)"
ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/fulltxt9/html/ef39ef1f-f0b7-4582-8e9c-31d4bd0ad35d.htm

Can I assume that you have already done the following?
1. Ensure the base table has a clustered index.
2. Place SQL [database] log (*.ldf), database files (*.mdf & *.ndf), and the
full-text catalog on separate disks.

Have you reviewed the MSFTESQL<$Instance_Name>:Service "Batches in ready
queue" perfmon counter values? I'm not sure what constitutes "low" for your
server, but could you reply back with the range of values you are seeing now
while the FT Indexing is ongoing?

FYI, the explain for this performance counter: "Number of batches in the
ready queue. This queue buffers work that will be given to the filter
daemons."

Thanks,
John
