Let me start off by saying I am not a DBA, I am a developer. I am working on a SSIS project that is using the same SQL Server instance for the staging database and for SSIS. We are pulling data from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS and are having performance issues. We checked the Oracle side of things and the network and all of that looks fine. The I/O on the SQL Server appears fine too. My gut feeling is that it is memory being that the box only has 4GB, with all of it allocated to SQL Server. My question is, how do I work with the DBAs to prove to them that the box needs more memory? What can I have them run in perfmon to prove that what is allocated to SQL Server is not enough? The DBA I worked with said memory was not an issue, but I believe he was looking at the memory at a server level and saw that there was 400 MB of memory on the server that was not being used. I need to prove to him that the 4GB that SQL Server is using is not enough.
Any help is appreciated. Also, let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Andy
