Note that in Figure 4, svc-EnoviaSqlAgent and svc-EnoviaDatabase are accounts on the ActiveDirectory domain of which the server is a member; you do not have to use these exact namesfor your accounts.Ensure That the Database Engine Can Use Fast File InitializationSQL Server 2008 can initialize its data files instantly, without arduously zeroing out the files ondisk. This saves time when creating new database files and when growing existing files. For largedatabases, the impact can be significant. To use this capability, however, the Database Engineservice requires a specific permission in the Windows operating system. Dassault Systèmesrecommends granting this permission to the service account to get the performance benefits offast file initialization.The permission required to use fast file initialization is called Perform Volume MaintenanceTasks. To grant this permission to the Database Engine service account, use the following steps:1. Open the Local Security Policy management snap-in by running Secpol.msc.2. In the left task pane, expand the tree to expose Security Settings > Local Policies > UserRights Assignment, and then select the User Rights Assignment node. Scroll though thelist in the right pane until you see the Perform volume maintenance tasks policy (seeFigure 5).Figure 5: Manage Windows user rights to allow fast file initialization3. Double-click Perform volume maintenance tasks to open the properties dialog box. Usethis dialog box to add the service account used for the SQL Server Database Engine.12
Figure 6 shows svc-EnoviaDatabase (the example service account) added to the list ofaccounts having this permission.Figure 6: Grant SE_MANAGE_VOLUME_NAME to SQL Server Database Engine service accountYou can grant this permission any time before or after SQL Server 2008 is installed. If SQL Server2008 is already installed, however, you need to restart the Database Engine service to see theeffects of this change. Until you restart the Database Engine, large file initializations will take along time as SQL Server 2008 defaults to zeroing out each bit inside of the file.Set the Server Collation During InstallationThe collation setting in SQL Server 2008 affects how the database software handles sorting andcomparisons of text data. Different collations let the Database Engine account for variousexpectations of sorting and comparing text across languages and cultures. It also makes itpossible for a particular installation to be configured to use case-sensitive vs. case-insensitivecomparison (e.g., does “smith” = “Smith”) and accent-sensitive vs. accent-insensitivecomparison (e.g., does “elan” = “elán”). SQL Server 2008 lets collation be configured at theinstance and database levels and at more granular levels within databases.13
