SQL Server 200* database architecture

  • Hi SQL Gurus!

    I am basically an Oracle DBA with 4yrs of experience and have bit experience with SQL Server from past 2 years. Could any one give me brief introduction about the SQL Server architecture as oracle has? I tried googling for this with no luck.

    Thanks,

    Nagarjun.

    Not sure if this will help or not.

    Generally the sqlserver site on the microsoft main site is the best place for finding resources.

  • Its similar to Oracle, few of them as per my knowledge below:

    Oracle--Tablespaces,db-files, segments, extents, db-blocks

    SQl-Db-files, extents(8 pages),pages(8 diff types of pages, check for them)

    oracle--initial extent, next, min, max and all others

    SQL-Only mixed and uniform...If a table data is less than 8 pages then it is saved in mixed else in uniform..I page = 8192 KB/8MB

    SQL Doesnt have pfile and spfile, its all set using properties(server level/db level)

    oracle Redo logs , rollback/undo is in SQL transactional log files.

    Oracle--Data guard, SQL - Log shipping.

    SQL Indexes--Only 2 types, clustered, non-clustered.
