SQL Best Practices for SharePoint

Use a dedicated server for SQL Server 2008 (Configure specific SQL Server 2008 settings)Pre-grow all databases and logs if you can. Be sure to monitor the sizes so that you do not run out of disk space.Limit content databases to 200 GB.Defragment and rebuild indices daily, if you can absorb the downtime required to rebuild.Be sure that you back up and truncate the log filesTest RestoreContinuously monitor SQL Server storage and performance

Capacity Limits

Laws of physicsSharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limitshttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspxQuotas



Limit Maximum value

Limit type Notes

Applicationpools

10 per Web server

Supported The maximum number is determined by hardware capabilities.

This limit is dependent largely upon: The amount of RAM allocated to the Web

servers

The workload that the farm is serving, that is, the user base and the usage characteristics (a single highly active application pools can reach 10 GB or more)

Content database size (general usage scenarios)

200 GB per content database

Supported We strongly recommended limiting the size of content databases to 200 GB, except when the circumstances in the following rows in this table apply.

If you are using Remote BLOB Storage (RBS), the total volume of remote BLOB storage and metadata in the content database must not exceed this limit.

Capacity Limits - example

1. 2007 SP2

2. Install 2010

3. Preupgrade
