Hints For Productive SQL Server Deployment


by Bjorn O'connor


The structured query language (SQL) approach to database implementation has changed the way in which data and information resources are managed among various systems and users. This is successful accomplished through an SQL server deployment procedure that consists of a number of important steps. This being a software process involves the installation kits that are copied on suitable media either CD or DVD depending on the version of the software to install.

These kits include all the core components and the important database engine which are integrated into an installation unit. In order to accomplish a complete installation that can include data transformation services database mirroring SQL server agent and browser such options will be manually selected during the process. This is because these components are not installed by default. However all the components are available from the installer interface and can be selected as the installation carries on

Generally the process commences by activating the setup . Exe file located in the root directory on the installation package media which can either be a CD or DVD. Other times this process will start automatically after the respective media is mounted on to the target computer in an auto-run process. This self extracting and executing procedure is typical of the wizard setup programs.

Instead of using the auto-run option the administrator can also use the INI file to locally or remotely accomplish multiple instance installations. This process is carried out from the command line from where certain special purpose commands can be invoked to implement certain tasks. These tasks may include a specification of the target computer and the setting up of its directory. It is also possible to change the current setup status to include components like replication and analysis server.

The other configuration requirements that are important during installation include assigning the properties of the services for the agent analysis or reporting components. This must be carried out concurrently with a definition of the components security context. Afterwards a definition of the instances and options like the authentication mode can be implemented as well.

For the cluster installation requirements the administrator can access this through the installer interface. From here those portions that need to be included can be checked while those that are not needed are deselected. This is coupled with the addition or removal of nodes.

Additionally the software at the time of such an installation automatically ascertains for other support features that are needed. These are those considered as very critical to attaining a stable setup up process. In addition these features are required in their updated form to work well. This includes the native client . NET framework and a host of other supporting files.

Therefore the need to ascertain that all services are running after an installation is important. Only after this has been performed can the installation process be termed successful. Generally the software runs background checks to validate the process. In addition to this it also checks to find out if the computer name has since changed. In the event that this is so the software will automatically adjust all the relevant parameters to this new status. By this the replicas of the disks containing SQL server deployment will be copied across several systems
