2: Database and instances
Lesson 1: Overview of installing software and creating a database
Hardware requirements and SQL Server editions
Installing SQL Server
GUI installation
Command line installation
Configuration file installation
SysPrep installation

5. Planning a SQL server
Review installation requirements, system configuration checks, and security considerations for a SQL Server installation.
Run SQL Server Setup to install or upgrade to a later version. Before upgrading, review Upgrade to SQL Server 2016
Use SQL Server utilities to configure SQL Server

6. Hardware and software requirements
Memory: 4GB recommended
.NET 3.5 SP1
Processor: x64 Processor: AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon 64, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium IV with EM64T support Processor speed: 2.0 GHz or faster
SQL Server Standard edition or below requires Windows 8 or better
SQL Server Enterprise/Business Intelligence/Web edition requires Windows Server 2012 or better
Disk space: 6GB on system drive.
Oracle SE Java Runtime Environment Version 7 Update 51 or higher for PolyBase only
Storage types for data files: local disk; shared storage, SMB file share (not supported for Analysis Services)
Not recommended on a domain controller
Resource “Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2016”: for a complete set of requirements

7. Demo Installation of SQL Server
Goal is to show Oracle DBA the installation of the default instance of SQL Server with the drive mappings
Mount the SQL Server installation ISO from the software drive
Run thru the Installation Center options
Start installation
Select features
Use service account user for the various engine services
Assign drives for data, logs, tempdb, backup
Kick off setup
Demo

14. Lesson 3
OLTP vs DW workload considerations

15. OLTP vs DW characteristics for SMP servers
OLTP Workload
DW Workload
Seek centric (random read/writes) IOPS
Scan centric (sequential reads/writes) MB/s
Volatile data
Non-volatile data (nightly loads)
Many heap tables
Columnstore indexed tables (Fact)
Index heavy
Index light – covering indexes (Fact)
High concurrency
Low concurrency
This is very similar to what you would expect for running workloads on Oracle
Reference: SQL Server---a Technical Reference Guide for Designing Mission-Critical OLTP and DW Solutions

16. General considerations for databases based on workload
OLTP workload
DW workload
Analysis Services workload
Disk block size = 64 KB
Database recovery model = FULL
Disk block size = 256 KB If the workload is mixed, go with 64 KB
Database recovery model = SIMPLE
For data loading, use Bulk-Logged
Disk block size 32KB
Reference: New VM Images Optimized for Transactional and DW workloads in Azure VM Gallery
Resource: Recovery Models
OLTP (Online Transaction Processing)
·       Heavy on 8KB reads/writes
·       Some read-ahead in multiples of 8KB
·       Rule of Thumb: Optimize for Random I/O (more spindles)
RDW (Relational Data Warehouse)
·       64KB to 512 KB reads (on table and range scans)
·       128KB-256KB writes (on bulk loads)
·       Rule of Thumb: Optimize for highly sequential throughput I/O
Analysis Services
·       Up to 64KB random reads
·       Average blocks of 32KB
·       Highly random and fragmented data
·       Rule of thumb: Optimize for Random I/O with 32KB NTFS Blocks

17. Using Diskspd Utility
Download utility at

18. Demo Installation of sample databases
Goal is to show how to restore sample databases from software drive
Start Management Studio
Restore AdventureWorks2016 – show how files are reallocated – Generate script from UI and run the command in Query Editor
Restore AdeventureWorksDW2016 – Run the command using UI
Change the Recovery model for AdventureWorks2016 to Full
Install SQL Server Data Tools from software disk
Demo
