SQL Server Tips and Troubleshooting

The following guide helps you to troubleshoot your SQL Server if its running very slow:
First check the processor and memory usage to see that processor is not above 80% utilization and memory not above 40-45% utilization then check the disk utilization using Performance Monitor, Secondly, use SQL Profiler to check for the users and current SQL activities and jobs running which might be a problem. Third would be to run UPDATE_STATISTICS command to update the indexes.

Washington DC SQL Server

Washington DC SQL Server computer consulting company needed-  We have a legacy database done in SQL Server.  It used to be in SQL Server 2000, but we recently tried updating it to SQL Server 2005 and then SQL Server 2008, but now it doesn’t work properly!  We are located in Washington DC, but would be fine working with a company in Montgomery County, Maryland or in Virginia.  As far as working on SQL Server Washington DC has a good number of computer consultants doesn’t it?  Oh, and we are a small company that works with the folks on capital hill-  Our office is close to Dupont circle.  Help us please!

Microsoft Access database help

Dear CCD, LLC,
I have a small business located in the District of Columbia. My Access database contains all of my clients and their accounts (payments, etc.). However, the database was set up using an older version of Microsoft Access. I see that your company does computer programming around Washington DC. Can you help me upgrade my Access database? And in what situations do you suggest people upgrade even further to Microsoft SQL Server? Hope to hear from you soon,

Pete

Database Management with MySQL and PHP

Hello CCD:
Our organization is looking for some help with MySQL and PHP. We have a database of clients and potential clients- We would like to publish some of the information in this database on the web so that our team members across the country can easily access it. Is this the sort of computer consulting that you do? I guess you would call it database management.

P.S. Do you also do web development work in Microsoft SQL Server? We also may have a need for that.
