Hi,
Why do you want to install mutiple instances of SQL Server since you have
only 1 GB of physical
memory in machine.
Better option will be create 2 databases and allocate 1 db for each
application.
If you need to install multiple instances of SQL Server always it is
recommended to fix the
memory usage for each instance of SQL Server. If you do not have any other
application other than
SQL Server in your machine then you can go for even 400 MB for each
instamce. THis memory parameter
should be changed based on usage of each instance. You can use Performance
monitor to identify the usage.
If I were to audit, would I benefit from only auditing failure, or
would you yourself choose to audit All or None ? Do I audit only when
necessary or all the time ?
I recommend you to audit only the failure, Otherwise you need to enable the
c2 Audit mode
which will audit all the activity. SO it uses more resources. During the
requirement stages
you can use Profiler to trace the activity.
Do I need to use profiler to set auditing on and off ?
No need, From Query Analyser execute
sp_configure 'c2 audit mode',1
To diable to audit
sp_configure 'c2 audit mode',0
(restart SQL Server service)
I can't see where I should enter this new directory.Is this the SQL server
error log ?
As far as i know,You have to change the default data directory
