My current configuration is a Dell PE 1900, E5335, 16GB Ram, 2 250GB Raid 0.
I'm buying a new server mostly because the current one is a bit slow and
I need a new gateway server, so to get faster database responses, I want
to upgrade this and use the old one for gateway.
The current system is limited to 16GB Ram, so it is basically maxed out.
A query that takes 89 seconds right now is run on a regular basis
(82,000 rows):
select item.item_id,item_plu.number,item.description,
(select number from account where asset_acct = account_id),
(select number from account where expense_acct = account_id),
(select number from account where income_acct = account_id),
(select dept.name from dept where dept.dept_id = item.dept_id) as dept,
(select subdept.name from subdept where subdept.subdept_id =
item.subdept_id) as subdept,
(select sum(on_hand) from item_change where item_change.item_id =
item.item_id) as on_hand,
(select sum(on_order) from item_change where item_change.item_id =
item.item_id) as on_order,
(select sum(total_cost) from item_change where item_change.item_id =
item.item_id) as total_cost
from item join item_plu on item.item_id = item_plu.item_id and
item_plu.seq_num = 0
where item.inactive_on is null and exists (select item_num.number from
item_num
where item_num.item_id = item.item_id)
and exists (select stocked from item_store where stocked = 'Y'
and inactive_on is null
and item_store.item_id = item.item_id)
