Best practice for creating SQL Server databases for a data warehouse -
i'm create 2 new sql server databases our data warehouse:
- datawarehouse - data stored
- datawarehouse_stage - etl done
i'm expecting both databases able 30gb , grow 5gb per year. not bigger 80gb (when we'll start archive).
i'm trying decide settings should use when creating these databases:
- what should initial size be?
- ...and should increase database size straight after creating it?
- what should auto-growth settings be?
i'm after best practice advice on creating databases.
update: reason suggest increasing database size straight after creating it, because can't shrink database less initial size.
•what should initial size be?
45gb? 30 + 3 years grow, given fits on low end cheap ssd disc ;) sizing not issue if smallest ssd 64gb.
...and should increase database size straight after creating it?
that sort of stupid, or? mean, why create db small size jsut resize immedieatley after, instead of putting right size script in first step.
what should auto-growth settings be?
this not data warehouse question. no autogrow. autogrow fragemnts discs.
make sure format discs according best practices (64kb node size, aligned partitions).
