We are using MS SQL 2005 at work. The MS SQL 2005 is installed on a really high end new server (16 processors, TeraBytes of RAM, RAID hard drives etc.) What we are experiencing is that a couple queries, just take a lot of processor usage. We don't mind the query taking longer, but when the amount of processor usage goes too high, the server freezes.
We have optimized the queries, but I wanted to ask if there is a way to set the maximum amount of processor usage. We would like the query to be stopped or take more time, if a query attempts to go over the set amount of processor usage.
At this point, we are only looking at ways to change the configuration of the MS SQL Server and not the queries (the query is already optimized). Could you please let me know a way to do this?
