Hi all,

When 60 users are connected & working in my system, performance go down heavily, Timeout expired errors are coming, system is getting slow, when I am writing datas to temporary files to get complex reports.

Is there any one who can help on regarding this ??? I am using Pentium III, with 1 GB RAM, 1.13 GHz Processor, Using SQL 2000 version.

Your server is a little light for that kind of traffic, and unless your database code is exquisitely tuned and efficient you're likely to see continued slow performance. Since you're "writing datas to temporary files to get complex reports" I'm assuming the tuning is not there yet.

Best thing to do is get a bigger server with multiple CPUs and a LOT more RAM, and a better disk I/O system.

even for direct reporting (crystal reports), system is giving timeout expires message. For the tuning, is there any recommended ways of doing it, using the existing hardware ???

You say this as if it is a surprise. It depends on the sophistication of who developed the real time reports. Reporting in general can be a huge load.

I wish someone would start an Official XML Rant Thread.
