The role of a database administrator (DBA) includes a wide range of responsibilities and tasks that ensure that the databases an organization relies on are maintained and kept at optimum efficiency. This lesson describes some of these responsibilities and tasks, which will be explored in greater detail throughout the rest of this course Lesson Objectives [Ater completing ths lesson, you will be able to: Describe common characteristics of a database administrator. * Describe common database administration tasks. Describe the importance of documentation in a database solution. What Makes a Good Database Administrator? ‘While this course is focused on performing database maintenance tasks for a SQL Server 2014 database, itis important to consider the important ocho tnnlege a eae characteristics of a successful DBA. While there are *mess swans many thousands of DBAs working successfully “Sym throughout the world, each with their own, experience and personality, some common factors that contribute to success include: + Technological knowledge and skills. A good DBA not only requires in-depth knowledge of the database platform used to host the database; but also needs to be familiar with host operating system configuration, storage devices, and networking. © Business-awareness, While 2 DBA is @ technical role, 2 good DBA typically understands the business context within which the database operates, and its role in supporting the business. + Organizational skills. Database systems can be complex, with a lot of components and subsystems ‘tormanage. Some tasks need to be performed at specific times, and a good DBA must keep track of these tasks while aso responding to unexpected issues as they arise. + Ability to prioritize. When unexpected problems affect a database, application users and business stakeholders typically make demands on the DBA to resolve the situation based on their individual requirements. A good DBA must prioritize the resolution of issues based on factors such as service- level agreements (SLAS) with the business for database services, the number of users and systems affected, and the degree to which the problems are affecting ongoing operationsAéninisesng Micosoh OL Serve Dabases 1-3 Common Database Administration Tasks Depending on the organization, a single DBA might be responsible for managing multiple database servers and databases, or multiple DBAs might each “triton aber sre ad take responsibility for a specific application, _ Maintaining database fils and objects database server, business unit, or geographic Sines corer teh location. importing and exporting ta “aang ct eta Regardless of how database management ‘Montoreg anvo.ehoatng responsibility is apportioned, common tasks that a \dembese systems DBA must perform include: + Provisioning database servers and databases. This can involve installing and configuring instances of SQL Server on physical or virtual servers, or creating new virtual machines based on template images. It can also involve creating databases and allocating their data and logfiles to sppropriate storage devices. + Maintaining database files and objects. After a database has been created and populated with data in tables and indexes, it requires ongoing maintenance to ensure it continues to perform ‘optimally. Tis involves reducing any fragmentation that occurs in data files as records are added and, deleted, ensuring that data files are kept at an appropriate size, and ensuring that the logical and physical data structures remain consistent. + Managing recovery in the event of database failure. Databases are often critica to business ‘operations, and a core responsibilty for a DBA isto plan an appropriate backup and recovery strategy for each database, ensure backups are performed, and restore the database in the event of afalure + Importing and exporting data, Data is often transferred between systems, so DBAS often need to extract data from, or import data to, databases * Applying security to data. An organization's database servers often contain its most valuable asset — the data that enables the business to operate. Security breaches can be costy, expensive and time- consuming to trace and repair; and damaging to customer trust and confidence. A DBA must implement security policies that enable users to access the data they need, while ensuring that the business meets its legal compliance obligations, protect its assets, and mitigates the risks associated with security breaches ‘+ Monitoring and troubleshooting database systems. Many database administration operations are reactive, in the sense that they involve taking action to troubleshoot and remediate a problem that has been identified. Successful DBAs also undertake a proactive approach, in which they monitor systems against an established baseline to try to detect potential problems before they impact data operations,1.4 natu to SU Senet 204 Database Aniston Documen: 19 Database Management Procedures One of the key attributes ofa successful DBA is the ability to be organized.

However, even Sec pelmetrc pcies nachos the best DBAS do not rely purely on their memory. “Dna envy proces DBAs commonly compile and maintain documentation, often referred to asa "run book’, that includes information such as- + Configuration settings and file locations. * Personnel contact details, * Standard maintenance procedures and schedules. ‘© Disaster recovery procedures. While it may be unexciting, maintaining documentation for the database system is an important part of database administration, A detailed run book can be invaluable when a new DBA must take over responsibility for managing a database, or when an unexpected emergency occurs and the DBA is not present to deal with it. Even when the DBA is available to respond to a disaster such as the failure of a database server, having clearly documented steps to recover the database reduces the sense of panic and pressure, and enables a fester resolution of the problem.

In internal configuration tools, a default instanceof the database engine is named MSSQLSERVER. ‘Additional instances of SQL Server require an instance name that you can use in conjunction with the server name and are known as named instances. If you want all your instances to be named instances, you do nat need to install a default instance first. You cannot install all components of SQL Server in more than one instance. To access a named instance, client applications use the address Server-Name\Instance- Name, For example, a named instance called Test on a Windows server called APPSERVER1 would be addressed as APPSERVERI\Test.1.8 inate to SOU Senet 204 Database Aniston ‘There is no need to install SQL Server tools and utilities more than once on a server, You can use single installation of the tools to manage and configure all instances.

You can also install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and SQL Server Data Tools for Business Intelligence (SSDT-BI) add-ins in Microsoft Visual Studio, and use them to develop database and business intelligence (Bl) solutions based on SQL Server components. SQL Server Management Studio SSMS is the primary tool for managing SQL Server databases. Its based on the Visual Studio shell used for software development projects, and supports the following features: * Object Explorer. This is @ pane in which you can connect to SQL Server instances and ‘manage the objects they contain. By default, when you open SSMS you are prompted to connect to a SQL Server instance, and this instance is displayed in Object Explorer. You can then connect to additional instances and view them concurrently + Code Editor. You can manage database servers and objects using graphical interfaces (typically ‘opened from Object Explorer), or you can enter and run Transact-SQL statements in the code editor ppane, Using Transact-SQL code to perform management tasks enables you to save the commands as scripts, which can be re-executed at a later time or scheduled to run automatically. The code editor in ‘SSMS supports intlliSense, which provides auto-completion of statements and color-coding of keywords to improve script readability. You can also use snippets to simplify the creation of commoniy used statements. SSMS also provides the ability to generate Transact-SQL code for most tasks that can be performed using graphical tools, making it easier to create reusable scripts for administrative tasks. + Solutions and Projects. You can use projects and solutions to keep related scripts, connections, and other documents together. This can make it easier to keep track ofall the script files required to create and manage a database solution. # Reports. SSMS includes an extensible report interface that you can use to view detailed configuration and status information about SQL Server instances, databases, and other objects.1.24 rroduton to SOL Sever 21 Database Administ The sqlcmd Utility The sqlemd utility is a command line tool thet you can use to nun Transact-SQL statements or scripts in SQL Server instance. You can use sqlemd to ‘automate database tasks from the command line, and for to perform configuration and management tasks when SSMS is not available. In particular, you can use sqlemd to open a dedicated administrator connection (DAC) to a server when standard connections are not possible. Parameters The sqlemd utility provides parameters that you can use to configure connections and perform tasks. These parameters include: -S server name (connect to the specified server) -d database_name (connect to the specified database) U login (login asthe specified login) -P password (authenticate the login withthe specified password) -E (use a trusted connection for Windows authentication) A (open a dedicated administrator connection) -i input file (tun the Transact-SQL code in the specified input file) 0 output file (save the output in the specified output file) -q "Transact-SQL query’ (run the specified query) -Q "Transact-SQL query" (un the specified query and exit) -vvar = "value" (pass the specified variable to the input script) The sqlcmd utility supports many more parameters.

For exemple, you can use the Transact-SQL CREATE DATABASE statement to create a database, and the corresponding DROP DATABASE statement to delete a database, + System stored procedures and functions. SQL Server provides system stored procedures and functions that encapsulate common system configuration and management tasks, For example, you Can use the sp_configure system stored procedure to set SQL Server instance configuration settings + DBCC (Database Console Commands). DBCC commands are used to perform specific configuration and maintenance tasks, and to perform verification checks in 2 SQL Server database. For example, you can use the D8CC CHECKDB command to verify the logical and physical integrity of the abjects in a database, Using Windows PowerShell to Manage SQL Server ‘Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language designed for system administrators Itcan be used to administer Windows, Microsoft server products, Microsoft Azure services, and non- Microsoft products, such as UNIK. Ths gives administrators a common scripting language across servers and other devices. Windows PowerShell Cmdlets and Modules In traditional shells, commands take the form of executable programs that range from the very simple (such as attrib.exe) to the very complex (such as netsh.exe). In contrast, Windows PowerShell cmelets are very simple, object-based, single-function command-line tools built into the shell. You can use each cmdlet separately, and also combine them to perform complex tasks. Cmdlets have a recognizable name format—a verb and noun separated by a dash (-), such as Get-Help, Get-Process, and Start-Service. The verb defines the action that the midlet performs for example, "get midlets retrieve data, "set" cmdlets establish or change data, format" cmdlets format data, and “out” midlets direct the output to a specified destination. The noun specifies the object being acted upon: for example, Get-Service retrieves information about services. CCmdlets are packaged in modules, which can be installed on a computer and loaded into the PowerShell environment as required. You can use the Get-Module cmdlet to list available modules on a computer, and you can use Import-Module to load the modules you need. When you install SQL Server 2014 on a computer, the installation includes the SQLPS module, which includes emdlets that you can use to manage SQL Server instances and objects.1.36 _rvoduton to SOL Sever 214 Database Administ Using SQLPS Module Cmdlets The SQLPS module includes: + ASQL Server provider. This enables a simple navigation mechanism similar to file system paths. You ‘an navigate and build paths similar to file system paths, where the drive is associated with a SQL Server management object model, and the nodes are based on the object model classes, You can. then use PowerShell cmadlets such as Get-ChildItem to retrieve objects in the SQL Server object model. You can also use commands such as ed and dir, to navigate the paths, similar to the way you navigate folders in a command prompt window. + Aset of SQL Server emdlets, The SQL Server cmdlets support actions such as running Transact-SQL statements with the Invoke-Sqlemd cmdlet. You can use the SQL Server 2014 Windows PowerShell components to manage instances of SQL Server 2000 or later. Instances of SQL Server 2005 must be running $P2 or later. Instances of SQL Server 2000 ‘must be running SP4 or later. When the SQL Server 2014 Windows PowerShell components are used with earlier versions of SQL Server, they are limited to the functionality available in those versions. PowerShell Interfaces You can use the Windows PowerShell to manage SQL Server in the following user interfaces: + The Windows PowerShell command prompt. This provides a console window in which you can run PowerShell cmalets. ‘+ The Windows PowerShell interactive scripting environment (ISE). This provides a PowerShell script development environment that supports InteliSense and other features to simplify script development. + SQL Server PowerShell.

Ths includes planning and performing the installation of SQL Server on physical servers and virtual machines, This module explains how to assess resource requirements for SQL Server 2014 and how to instal it Objectives ‘After completing this module, you will be able to: + Plan a SQL Server 2014 installation + Install SQL Server 2014, + Perform post-installation configuration tasks2.2 _Insaling and Configing SOU Serer 24 Lesson 1 Planning SQL Server Installation Before starting the installation process for SQL Server, itis important to discover how each of the requirements fora successful installation can be met. In ths lesson, you will consider the specific requirements that SQL Server places on the hardware and software platforms on which it runs and learn about tools wihich you can use to pre-test your systems before installing SQL Server. Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will beable to: * Describe considerations for installing SQL Server. * Describe the hardware and software requirements for SQL Server 2014 + Assess CPU and memory requirements for SQL Server. + Describe considerations for storage 1/0 and performance requirements for SQL. Server. Plan service accounts for SQL Server services. Considerations for SQL Server Installation ‘When planning an installation of SQL Server, consider the following factors: “eau componans on ees + Required components and features. One of Seven aiee atta the most obvious factors to consider is which “lot data elon SQL Server components and features do you need to install to meet your business requirements. While it may be tempting to instal all available components just in case they are required, you should limit the installation to include only the components that are actually needed. This approach helps to minimize the “surface attack area’, reducing the opportunity for security vulnerabilities. It also minimizes the resource utilization ovethead of the installation and, simplifies administration by eliminating services and components that would otherwise need to be managed + Hardware resource requirements. Depending on the components being installed and the workloads they must support, SQL Server can place substantial demands cn the hardware resources cof a server. A typical SQL. Server database engine installation consumes CPU, memory, and storage 1/0 subsystem resources to meet the requirements of the applications using the database. Inthe case ‘of most enterprise database solutions the server (physical or virtual is often dedicated to support the SQL Server installation. However, in some small organizations or departmental solutions, the database engine may need to co-exist with other applications and software services on the same server, and compete for harcare resources. When planning an installation, you must be sure that the server wihere you intend to install SQL Server has sufficient spare capacity to support the database workload vile providing the required levels of performance and concurrency.Adninisesng Micosob OL Serve Dabases_2-3 + Service account identities. Each SQL Server service is configured to run within the context of a specific Windows account. This account provides an identity forthe service, and is used to authorize access to system resources by the service. You should plan the accounts that will be used by the services in your SQL Server installation carefully to ensure that they meet the requirements of the “principle of least privilege", which states that all authenticated accounts should have the minimum permissions and system rights they need to fulfil their function, + Default data file locations. The SOL Server database engine is used to store and manage data in databases, and these databases exist as files on storage devices. While you can specify the location of data files when you create a database, SQL Server uses a default location for internal system databases and new databases with no fle location specified. You should set the default location to a folder on an appropriate storage device when you install SQL Server. + Server collation. SQL Server databases use a spectied collation to control how character data is sorted and stored. You specify a collation at the server (instance) level and unless you have specific character sort-order requirements, you should choose a collation that matches that used by the server Con which you are installing SQL Server. You can override the server collation in individual databases if required, but the server collation is used for system databases including TempDB, which is used by all databases to store temporary objects. Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements SQL Server 2014 has specific hardware and software requirements.

There are two basic ways that SQL Sr enor Server uparades can be performed ~ there is no Sse ce sion single preferred way to do this. Each method has Nesanontnecnee Tite ees benefits and limitations, and is sppropriate in remsoriptoe rane SRom certain circumstances. mune Varad Air blo nin pace eonce In-place Upgrades In-place upgrades occur when the installed version of SQL Server is directly replaced by a new version by the SQL Server setup program. This is an easier and highly automated, though riskier, method of Upgrading. If an upgrade fails, it is much harder to return to the previous operating state. For most customers, the risk of this cannot be ignored When you are weighing up risk. you need to consider that it may not be the SQL Server upgrade that fails. Even ifthe SQL Server upgrade works as expected, but then the application fails to operate as anticipated (on the new version of SQL Server, the need to recover the situation quickly wil be ust as important, In-place upgrades have the added advantage of minimizing the need for additional hardware resources and avoid the need to redirect client applications that are configured to work with the existing server. Before performing an in-place upgrade, you should use the Upgrade Advisor tool to analyze existing instances and identify any issues that need to be addressed before upgrading. You can install the Upgrade ‘Advisor from the Planning page of the SQL Server 2014 Installation Center. Side-by-side Upgrades Side-by-side upgrades are a safer alternative, as the original system is left in place and can be quickly returned to production should an upgrade issue arise. However, side-by-side upgrades involve extra work and more hardware resources. To perform a side-by-side upgrade, you will need enough hardware resources to provide for bath the original and the new systems. Two common risks associated with side-by-side upgrades relate to the time taken to copy all the user databases to a new location and the space required to hold these copies, ‘While most side-by-side upgrades are performed on separate servers itis possible to install both versions of SQL Server on the same server during a side-by-side upgrade. However, side-by-side upgrades of versions with the same major build number (that is, SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008) on the same server are a special case. Because the major version number is identical, separate versions of the shared components cannot co-exist on the same server. Shared components will be upgraded, Not all versions of SQL Server are supported when installed side-by-side, Consult SQL Server Books Online for a matrix of versions that are supported when installed together. Hybrid Options Its also possible to use some elements of an in-place upgrade and a side-by-side upgrade together. For example, rather than copying all the user databates after installing the new version of SQL Server beside the old version, and migrating all the server objects such as logins, you could detach user databases from the old server instance and reattach them to the new one.ainstering Miss SOL Server® Duabases_2-15 (Once user databases have been attached to a newer version of SQL Server, they cannot be reattached to an older version again, even ifthe database compatibility settings have not been upgraded. This i a risk that needs to be considered when using a hybrid approach.

You also use SSCM to configure both server and client protacols and ports. SSCM provides two sets of network configurations—protocols that the server exposes and those used for making connections. Configuring Server Network Ports and Listeners You can configure each network endpoint that an instance of SQL. Server exposes. This includes the determination of which network libraries are enabled and, for each one, the configuration ofthe network library. Typically, this will involve settings such as protocol port numbers. You should discuss the required network protocol configuration of SQLServer with your network administrator. There are three protacals available: © ToPAP + Named pipes * Shared memory The configuration forthe TCP/IP protocol allows for different setings on each configured IP address if required, or a general set of configurations that are applied to all P addresses. Configuring Client Network Ports and Listeners ‘SQL Native Client (SNAC) is installed on the server as well as on client systems. When SQL Server management tools ae installed on the server, they the SNAC library to make connections to the SQL Server services that are on the same system, Every computer that has SNAC installed needs the ability to configure how that library will access SOL Server services. For ths reason, in addltion to server network configuration settings, SSCM includes client configuration nodes with which you can configure how client connections are made. Note that two sets of client canfigurations are provided and that they only apply to the computer where they are configured. One set is used for 32-bit applications; the other set is used for 64-bit applications. SSMS is a 32-bit application, even when SQL Server is installed as a 64-bit application, Aliases Connecting to a SQL Server service can involve multiple settings such as server address, protacal, and port. If you hard-code these connection details in your client applications, and then any of the details change, your application will no longer work, To avoid this issue and to make the connection process simpler, you can use SSCM to create aliases for server connections.2.18 naling and Congo SU Server 2086 You create a server alias and associate it with a server, protocol, and port if required). Client applications can then connect to the alias without being concerned about how those connections are made. Each client system that utilizes SNAC (including the server itsef) can have ane or more aliases configured Aliases for 32-bit applications are configured independently af those for 64-bit applications.
