Anyone know what is truly recommended for the NIC settings for SQL 2005 when
installed on Windows 2003?
Microsoft SQL MVP and SQL author: Mark L. states that the NIC should be set
to:
"Maximize date throughput for file sharing."
However, MSDN article states that the setting should be:
"Maximize data throughput for network applications."
Anyone have any definitive resource on actually what it should be set at?
Thank you

DBA DABIf the primary use of the server is SQL Server, then it is a 'network
application'
(If the primary use is file storage, then it is 'file sharing'.)
Typically, for an OLTP database you want smaller TCP packets, for an OLAP

It would seem so, but this fellow Microsoft MVP in SQL, say's that isn't
true. That when you combine the SQL 2005 with windows 2003, you sould always
use the ""Maximize date throughput for file sharing" setting.
Anyone else have opinions?

Hi Sue
Actually, that's incorrect. I have 3 SQL 2005 servers with AWE set and none
are set with the "Maximize data throughput for network applications" and
it's working just fine. Microsoft articles are written by tech writers, so
they wouldn't know this stuff in the real world apparently (judging from
these articles that are not correct.)
I really believe Microsoft should have hard-core tech's go through each of
their articles, one by one, and check out this erroneous errors.

The people I know who write for Microsoft are actually very
technical, very knowledgeable, and more technical than most
people. I'd be leery of generalizing them as something like
"tech writers who wouldn't know stuff in the real world".

I appreciate your defense of technical writers, but they are just that,
technical writers, not do'ers. Hence, they write things (like this below)
that are not correct. Yes, I have already sent them feedback on this article
and many others.
Believe me, I know how tough it is to find a hard-core tech that is willing
to write a how-to book as well.
I've been working right next to techincal writers for years now, and none
were actual tech's. It's two different skill sets. Unfortunately, that's a
problem in the end though.

back from someone who said it totally hosed them - which it
would have done to others.
The people I know who write for Microsoft are actually very
technical, very knowledgeable, and more technical than most
people. I'd be leery of generalizing them as something like
"tech writers who wouldn't know stuff in the real world".
If you feel something in books online is incorrect, click
the send feedback link in the top right and send it in. They
truly welcome any and all feedback.

I appreciate your defense of technical writers, but they are just that,
technical writers, not do'ers. Hence, they write things (like this below)
that are not correct. Yes, I have already sent them feedback on this article
and many others.
Believe me, I know how tough it is to find a hard-core tech that is willing
to write a how-to book as well.
I've been working right next to techincal writers for years now, and none
were actual tech's. It's two different skill sets. Unfortunately, that's a
problem in the end though.
