Agenda
Managing Resources
Key Concepts of Resource Governor
Configuration
Usage Scenarios
Why there is a need of Resource Governor
MANAGING RESOURCES
Why Resource Governor?
There have been asks for “limits”
Control Run-away queries.
Give control to DBA.

KEY CONCEPTS

Classifier Function
• Classify connection to workload group

Workload Group
• Aggregate similar session requests

Resource Pool
• Manage server’s physical resources
Resource Governor – Workloads

CONFIGURATION
Quick Recap
Resource Governor
(in action)

demo
Let’s take a look at runaway query.
Oops!!! that didn’t go well…
Why didn’t SQL Server put a limit on the
CPU that the query was using?

If there are no other cars on the road, why


should the governor slow down the solo
driver?

Why don’t we try that again, but this time we


will add one more session
Resource Governor
(in action)

demo
Let’s take a look at that runaway query
again.
Monitoring Resource Governor
Metadata CVs:
sys.resource_governor_resource_pools
sys.resource_governor_workload_groups
sys.resource_governor_configuration

Running value DMVs:


sys.dm_resource_governor_resource_pools
sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups
Where can you use?
USAGE SCENARIOS
Consolidation

Problem: Solution:
My users won’t let me put Configure RG by application
Payroll and GL on the same or database to minimise
server. interference.

3rd party packages have Offer enhanced performance


unknown, uncontrollable for key business cycles, such
queries. as pay-day or end-of-
quarter.
Ad-hoc Reporting
Problem: Solution:

Excel and Access users use Create workload groups by


production databases for application, such as ‘%excel
workgroup applications. %’ and ‘%access%’

Particularly for reporting, we Assign those workload


can’t control their impact on groups to a low-priority
transaction processing . resource pool.

Use workload connection


limits to restrict concurrent
usage.
Limitations
Database Engine only – no SSAS, SSRS, SSIS
Many components are not subject to RG, for
example sp_OA, linked server queries, XPs,
database mail
Limit of 18 user-defined resource pools (20
total)
Cannot constrain internal pools / groups
No throttling of I/O yet.
Enterprise Edition only!
Home work…
WHAT’S NEXT?
What Else Can You Do?
This is just a quick start to the resource
governor, we can do much more with this.
Classifiers based on other criteria
Time of day
Application connecting to certain DB
Using the DMVs to determine issues and
modify workload groups or resource pools
on the fly
Much more!
