Understand SQL Server and SharePoint Integration

SQL Server and SharePoint Integration

93.8% of SharePoint content stored in SQL Server

Farm Configuration information

stored in configuration dbCentral Administration content stored in own content dbMost Service Applications have at least one content dbAll Web Apps have at least one content dbDuring SQL Server installation, Set Default Collation Setting to Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS

Pages

Fundamental Unit of Data Storage in SQL Server

8 KB of Data Which Can be Index or Data Related, Large Object Binary (LOB’s, e.g. BLOB) etc...

Page Header

Data rows are inserted serially immediately following the header.

A row offset table starts at the end of the page, and each row offset table contains one entry for each row on the page.

Extents

Group of Eight (8) Consecutive Pages

Aligned on (8) Eight Page Boundaries or 64KB

Schema Implications (Perceptions)

SharePoint Tables Too Wide, Wraps Rows

SharePoint Manages Own (NVP) Indexes

SharePoint Adds Force-Order, Query HintsMissing Indexes for Common OperationsExcessive Use of Dynamic QueriesNo SQL Referential Integrity OR Key ConstraintsDBCC with Data Loss Not SupportedMissing Integration of Back-up/Restore

Supportability Constraints on Schema Modifications

Some Examples of Such Database Changes Include:

Adding Database Triggers

Adding Indexes or Modifying Existing Indexes Within Tables Adding, Modifying, or Deleting Primary or Foreign Key Relationships Modifying or Deleting Existing Stored Procedures Adding New Stored Procedures Making Modification to Database Schema Adding Tables to a Database of Products Listed in the "Applies to" Section Changing the Database CollationMore Information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841057
