Following the success of Data Awareness Programmes conducted in India, took a huge step in conducting the same program in Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia at Stamford College on 21/04/2014.
This included a mixed variety of Students from various degrees with in Information Technology. This programme provided the analytical solution based on the data collected within Malaysia. This helped better understand the students to learn and visualize based on their already known information.
This session also included students, teachers & non-teaching staff to enlighten data & bring awareness related to personal, individual, education & social and this was again successfully delivered, by Dr. Subramani Paramasivam and his Malaysian based team members.
The audience were unbelievably surprised with the level of information provided about data and how to learn more about data and analyse and help themselves and their surroundings including friends, family, relations, and local people in and around. The attendees were amazed with the level of information that was provided for about 8 hours with easy to understand slides & related videos.
This programme was specifically targetted to the attendees by providing more information about Microsoft SQL Server Products, Microsoft Releases, Microsoft SQL Server Editions, Database Development, Database Administration and other Microsoft related database & BI related products.
The demos were mainly based on Power Map, Power Pivot, Power BI and the visualization technology on power map really amazed every single attendee in the auditorium.
This was also a good opportunity for Your SQL Man UK Ltd to better explain about the Microsoft products, certifications and awards at student level like MTA (Microsoft Technology Associate) & MSP (Microsoft Student Partner).
Students were very much looking forward for further awareness programmes in Malaysia and thrilled.

Every one running SQL Server has always had the same issue of memory. Whatever the extra memory is given to windows, it is all eaten by the SQL Server alone. No matter what the process is going on, the memory takes much resources for all related to SQL Server. How can we control the memory issue. Well there are some possibilities from SQL Server that we can restrict the server to occupy the server memory.
–To check for the existing memory usage
use master
EXEC sp_configure ‘max server memory (MB)’
By default the server won’t display the advance options to enable this service. So follow the steps below to view the memory usage.
–To display advance option
USE master
EXEC sp_configure ‘show advanced options’, 1 RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
After this you can run the below query to see the usage.
use master
EXEC sp_configure ‘max server memory (MB)’
Then use this to change the server memory.
–To change the maximum server memory
USE master
EXEC sp_configure ‘max server memory (MB)’, 6144 RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
Then again you can check the usage using the query which we have see earlier.
This is the first Data Awareness Programme conducted in Kadaladi Government Arts & Science College in Ramanathapuram, which is based in Southern India on 14/04/2014. This programme was uniquely designed to deliver the importance of day to day data, that helped even a layman to better understand and analyse to help his/her life on a day to day basis. This program was mainly targeted college students, teachers & parents.
This awareness programme, includes any data related to personal, individual, education & social by Your SQL Man UK Ltd and was successfully delivered, by its CEO, Dr. Subramani Paramasivam and his team members. This awareness programme was first of its kind and helped school students, teachers in this very remote village Kadaladi.
Your SQL Man UK Ltd is a data based service company which is much passionate about Data Consultancy, Training, Services & Support. This Data Awareness Programme targets every individual, no matter whatever their industry, education, status is about, but this program definitely delivered the awareness required to better make every individual to realize, how effective the day to day data is and how they can convert and use easy to use tools to better analyse their information and make better decisions.
The audience were unbelievably surprised with the level of information provided about data and how to learn more about data and analyse and help themselves and their surroundings including friends, family, relations, and local people in and around. The attendees were amazed with the level of information that was provided for about 8 hours with easy to understand slides & related videos. Dr. Subramani Paramasivam who is also a Principal Consultant and Trainer, travels around the world to deliver, high quality training and consultancy to corporate clients and participates in worldwide technical events and decided to deliver the same International Standard for this Awareness Programme.
This awareness also included the introduction of Microsoft products, that will better help their day to day life and enlightened the opportunities provided by Microsoft for students. Unbelievably the school students were not aware of Microsoft and this became a good opportunity for Your SQL Man UK Ltd to better explain about the Microsoft products, certifications and awards at student level like MTA (Microsoft Technology Associate) & MSP (Microsoft Student Partner).
This program was delivered with fun and been given gifts to encourage the students to answer the Microsoft & Data related questions. Students & teachers bagged many gift items by answering the questions and left with hand full of gift items. The college principal and the school Head Master thanked for the enlightment that was brought into the students life which was the first kind of a program they attended.
Some of the areas within this programme were delivered with fun to ensure the attendees have better understanding of data. So used some of the movie entertainment video clips which speaks about realistic data, facts and gave enough props and examples to feed their mind with better understanding.
Speaking to the CEO of the company, Dr.Subramani Paramasivam mentioned that this was his dream to get the awareness of education, social through data and been working on it for a while and brought this Data Revolution a successful one. He also added that, many rural areas in and around the world are still not aware of the effectiveness of IT in particular Microsoft student partnership & certifications programme and using this awareness programme opportunity to enlighten them.
This is definitely a data revolution which can make every person even in rural areas to get educated and help others.

I will get back to you in my next post. All the best for your definition PLUS hunt.
It was a hard part initially to make use of balancing the resources for all users with different groups. We can make use of IS_MEMBER() function, but the Function Classifier need to be derived accordingly. Also this is not an 100% workout to get the ideal result. I have recently come out with good work around to sort out this issue.
To give a scenario, I have 3 sets of SQL users. Moreover I also have replication stuff going on.
1. Business Team with developers knowledge
2. Business team with basic knowledge + pivot table manipulators in excel
3. IT team
I need to balance the users login on one side & the replication on the other.
I have used 3 Workload groups & Resouce pools on top of the server’s default & internal pools.
–**CREATE RESOURCE POOL **–
CREATE RESOURCE POOL SSUsers
WITH (MAX_CPU_PERCENT = 2, MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT = 2);
go
CREATE RESOURCE POOL DevUsers
WITH (MAX_CPU_PERCENT = 4, MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT = 4);
go
CREATE RESOURCE POOL Distribution
WITH (MIN_CPU_PERCENT = 15, MAX_CPU_PERCENT = 40, MIN_MEMORY_PERCENT = 40, MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT = 60);
go
–to reconfigure the created resource pools, i used the following
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR RECONFIGURE;
go
–the below query displays the newly created resource pools with its ID.
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_resource_governor_resource_pools;
go
–**CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP **–
–create workload group to assign to the resource pools
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP WG_SSUsers
USING SSUsers;
go
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP WG_DevUsers
USING DevUsers;
go
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP WG_Distribution
USING distribution;
GO
–to reconfigure the created resource pools, i used the following
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR RECONFIGURE;
GO
–the below query displays the newly created workload groups with its ID.
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups
I am going to write a classifier function that will distinguish the users and the replication database and allocated the workload groups accordingly.
Before creating the classifier function I need to have all the list of users underneath their group level. In our case, I had issue in using IS_MEMBER() function where it was able to allocate resource for the first set of rules defined in the classifier function. Then I came out with adding the list of user to a physical table with their permissions level in the master database. You can execute the following against your master database.
Use master
go
CREATE TABLE RG_Users_Group
(
RG_Name NVARCHAR(15) NULL,
Username NVARCHAR(25) NULL
)
INSERT INTO rg_users_group VALUES (‘SS_Users’, ‘AB01\user1′)
INSERT INTO rg_users_group VALUES (‘SS_Users’, ‘AB01\user2′)
INSERT INTO rg_users_group VALUES (‘SS_Users’, ‘AB01\user3′)
INSERT INTO rg_users_group VALUES (‘SS_Users’, ‘AB01\user4′)
INSERT INTO rg_users_group VALUES (‘Dev_Users’, ‘AB01\user5′)
INSERT INTO rg_users_group VALUES (‘Dev_Users’, ‘AB01\user6′)
This creates a list of all users with proper Resource Group name. The output of the table looks like this.
RG_Name Username
——————————
SS_Users AB01\user1
SS_Users AB01\user2
SS_Users AB01\user3
SS_Users AB01\user4
Dev_Users AB01\user5
Dev_Users AB01\user6
Once the table is created then I write my classifier function here.
–create the classifier function to assign the workload groups
IF OBJECT_ID ( ‘dbo.RGov_Classifier’) IS NOT NULL
DROP FUNCTION dbo.RGov_Classifier;
go
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.RGov_Classifier ()
RETURNS sysname WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
BEGIN
RETURN
(
SELECT CASE WHEN SUSER_NAME() IN (SELECT username FROM dbo.rg_users_group WHERE RG_name = ‘SS_Users’)
THEN N’WG_SSUsers’
WHEN SUSER_NAME() IN (SELECT username FROM dbo.rg_users_group WHERE RG_name = ‘Dev_Users’)
THEN N’WG_DevUsers’
WHEN ORIGINAL_DB_NAME () = ‘distribution’
THEN N’WG_Distribution’
ELSE N’default’
END
);
END;
go
–register the classifier function to the RG.
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR
WITH (CLASSIFIER_FUNCTION = dbo.RGov_Classifier);
GO
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR RECONFIGURE;
GO
Now the creation of all resource pools, workload groups, table & classifier function is done. It is time to check how the resource group works. So I have the following query to check each resource pools & their average response in milliseconds.
USE MASTER;
GO
SELECT
RP.name as PoolName,
COALESCE(SUM(RG.total_request_count), 0)as Total_Request,
COALESCE(SUM(RG.total_cpu_usage_ms), 0)as Total_CPU_in_MS,
CASE
WHEN SUM(RG.total_request_count) > 0 THEN
SUM(RG.total_cpu_usage_ms) /SUM(RG.total_request_count)
ELSE
0
END as Avg_CPU_in_MS
FROM
sys.dm_resource_governor_resource_pools AS RP
LEFT OUTER JOIN
sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups AS RG
ON
RP.pool_id = RG.pool_id
GROUP BY
RP.name;
In the above query, I have used the DMV (Dynamic Management Views) to help in identifying the resources used for each pool.
PoolName Total_Request Total_CPU_in_MS Avg_CPU_in_MS
DevUsers 3644 13412519 3680
SSUsers 50 243846 4876
distribution 1340523 16428325 12
default 621057 822676774 1324
internal 0 3182271 0
In the above scenario, I made sure all the resource pool now works fine.
This is not an 100% solution, and still have some work around to better up the results. But still a good work around compared to the other scenario.
Let me know if you need any clarifications on this.
Business intelligence (BI) is a broad category of application programs and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help enterprise users make better business decisions. BI applications include the activities of decision support, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining. In particular to Microsoft, it supports 3 types of OLAP technology, they are
1. MOLAP: Multidimensional OLAP
2. ROLAP : Relational OLAP
3. HOLAP: Hybrid OLAP
I shall post these definitions in my further posts.
