sql server data warehouse:

Hello,

Is there any exact database size limitation for standard edition? My
database is almost 5 GB and it's getting too slow. Do i have to switch to
enterprise?
Is there any way to check the database to see it's certainly tuned and
optimized and the only problem is the edition of SQL Server I use?

Thanks in advance,

There is no database size limitation for Standard Edition.

Have you tried running the Database Tuning Advisor and see if you can create
some additional/better indexes to support your larger database? That's
probably the first thing you should try... You might also investigate
looking at some performance counters to determine where your performance
bottlenecks are.

update the statistics in the database, defrag your indexes (set the fill
ratio to 100%)
Defrag your disk

Identify the bottleneck (CPU, Memory, disk...)

How many disks have you and what is the Raid level?

Hi Mathew,
sql server, like any relational database, should be kept tuned up and
properly indexed......there are lots and lots of books on the topic.

I don't recommend you try and learn how to tune a database one question
at a time on a newsgroup.

5GB is a small database and unless you are doing something strange you
should see good performance from it.
