Configuring SQL Server

In This Chapter

Making Sense of SQL Server Configuration

Configuring the Server-Level Configuration Options

Configuring the Database-Level Configuration Options

Configuring the Connection-Level Options

SQL Server has a plethora of configuration options. The difficulty in mastering them lies in the fact that they are spread across three levels:

  • Server-level options generally configure how the server works with hardware and determine the database defaults.
  • Database-level options determine the behavior of the database and set the connection-level defaults.
  • Connection-level options determine the current behaviors within the connection or current procedure.

Several of the configuration options overlap or simply set the default for the level immediately below. This chapter pulls these three configuration levels into a single unified understanding of how they relate to and affect each other. This chapter does not cover all SQL Server configuration options but covers most of the important ones. If you are a SQL Server beginner, you may find that some of the configuration options are advanced, and you may not immediately need them.
