Slowness after SQL downgrade

  • Slowness after SQL downgrade

    We have an instance of GP installed with SQL Enterprise and it really did not need that version. It was done years ago. We decided to drop it down to SQL Standard. This is all being done in test and once the change was made, GP runs incredibly slow. It is slow launching, logging in, selecting a company to login, and then even getting to the point that the company is ready to use. Our team that is doing this change is extrememly knowledgeable in SQL and doesn’t understand the slowness. This instance of GP is running the Canadian version of GP, if that has any bearing in this. We reverted back to Enterpirse and GP is immediately quick again. Quick for GP, that is. lol

    Any thoughts?

    How much RAM does the SQL Server have installed?

    How many cores?

    Hi Howard,

    Not sure if you ever figured out your performance issue on your SQL server, but that has not much to do with the grade “Enterprise” vs. “Standard”.. I have downgraded a client from Enterprise to Standard by moving the entire GP instance to a new SQL server and performance wise there was no difference in GP..

    As @David_Morinello suggested, it’s all about the underlying Windows server setup.. Give it enough CPU’s and RAM, and your SQL / GP will run like a breeze. Speedy disks of course are a must..

    HTH.
