Knowing the vast majority of the content accessed via SharePoint is stored in SQL Server, and also knowing an incorrect configuration of SQL Server can have a detrimental impact on the performance of SharePoint it is important to understand the integration of these two products. Regardless of whether you have a dedicated DBA, or the SharePoint administrator is also the DBA, there are critical SQL Server configurations that can be made that will improve the performance of SharePoint. Often DBA’s are familiar with how to manage SQL Server, but may not be familiar with some nuances that SQL Server has when integrated with SharePoint. In this session we will demonstrate how some default SQL Server settings negatively impact SharePoint and what changes can be made to improve the performance of SharePoint. These changes include database file settings and SQL Server instance settings. We'll also examine how to properly install SQL Server and SharePoint so they work together as efficiently as possible.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

in memory. If virtual and not critical, you can leave off lock
pages to get greater density on the host.
• If using lock pages, set maximum memory
• JD’s rule of thumb is leave 2GB available to OS and other
apps for Dev/Test. But formula to really use is
58. Server Setup
• Ensure SQL service account has Perform Volume
Maintenance rights
• Set MAXDOP to 1
• SharePoint should be in its own instance
• Set Fill Factor to 80
• Set at Instance level, not at database
• Memory guidelines
• Up to about 10GB of content: 8 GB
• 10GB – 1TB: 16 GB
• 1TB – 2TB: 32 GB
• 2TB – 5TB: 64 GB
• Above 5TB: over 64GB can improve caching speed
59. Server Setup
• Server core minimum requirements
• Up to 10GB content or below 1,000 users: 4 cores
• Up to 1TB content or up to 10,000 users: 8 cores
• Work with SharePoint Admins to create a database
naming scheme. Here are some examples:
• Prod_ConfigDB
• Prod_ContentDB_Portal
• Prod_ContentDB_WebSite
• Prod_ServApp_ManagedMetadata
• Prod_App_NintexWorkflow
• Manually deploy service apps, use AutoSPInstaller or
pre-create databases to get rid of GUIDs in database
names
• http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262869(v=office.14).aspx
60. Server Setup
• Recommend the SharePoint Admin use SQL aliases.
DNS CNAMES are OK. But with an alias, you can specify
the port number which improves performance and they are
usually easier to change.
• Recommended to use dual networks on SharePoint
servers. One NIC is client facing and other NIC is database
facing.
• If more than four web servers, use a second SQL server.
SharePoint loves connections.
61. Database Management
• SharePoint ignores the model database. Either manage
manually or setup scripted maintenance plan for
autogrowth settings. Set autogrow to a fixed size, not
percentage. Set fixed size based on expected total
database size.
• Don’t rely on autogrow, Work with SP admins to pre-grow
for expected use. Size databases appropriately
• Autogrow should be just the insurance policy. Work with
SharePoint administrator to appropriately size content
databases
• They can limit site collection size by using a “site
quota”
• They can limit the number of site collections in a
content databases using the “Maximum Site”
settings on the content database.
• Don’t forget about recycle bins (SC, site, and inside
SC)
62. Database Management
•Site collections about 100GB should be in a content
database by themselves. SharePoint Admins can move
site collections to different databases.
• Main purpose is for backup and recovery.
•In general, for normal general collaboration usage of
SharePoint, site collections should not exceed 200GB (soft
limit)
•Good database sizing article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc298801.aspx
• Remote BLOB storage does NOT change sizing
guidelines
63. Database Management
• Database size support limits
• General Usage Scenarios: 200GB
• All Usage Scenarios: 2TB
• Disk subsystem should provide 0.25-2 IOPS
per GB
• Plans developed for HA, DR, capacity, and
performance
• Backup and Restore testing
• Document Archive Scenario: No limit
• Above requirements
• Less than 5% of content accessed/month
• Less than 1% of content modified/month
•16TB is SharePoint’s limit for a content database because
it can only use one filegroup
64. Database Management
• Use SQLIO to test storage prior to deployment
• http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20163
• http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231619
• Do NOT enable auto-create statistics. Leave it alone.
SharePoint sets it as needed. Can change execution plans
from one SQL server to another. SharePoint provides
coded hints for queries as needed.
•SharePoint 2013 has a new feature called Shredded
Storage. Only saves deltas. 30-40% reduction of space
used for versioning.
• Check Recovery Model meets your requirements. Some
are set to Full and others to Simple by default.
• Recommend the configuration database be set to
Simple.
• ConfigDB can only be restored if the SharePoint
farm was offline when backed up.
65. Operations and
Performance
• Ideally, TempDB, Database and Transaction Logs should
all be on separate drives.
• For content database performance improvement, you can
use multiple data files
• Only create files in the primary filegroup
• Put each data file on separate drive
• Number of files should equal number of cores
• Not supported for other databases
•Disk Latency Requirements
• Low: 20 ms
• Middle: 10 ms
• High: 10 ms for data, 5 ms for logs
66. Operations and
Performance
•If performance improvements are needed for databases,
in a standard environments, this is the order of priority
• TempDB data and logs files
• Database transaction logs
• Search data files
• Content database data files
•For primary read (archive) environments, the order is
• TempDB data and logs files
• Search data files
• Content database data files
• Database transaction logs
67. Operations and
Performance
• SharePoint manages index fragmentation normally
through SharePoint Health Analyzer rules. See white paper
in References for best discussion of index fragmentation.
Some databases are not monitored or sometimes manual
intervention is needed.
• Schedule regular DBCC checks
• DBCC repair with data loss is NOT supported
•Maintain farm account as DBO for moves/restores
• Normally, don’t shrink databases except when bulk
changes have been made
•So here is what you need to chat with your SharePoint
admin about never changing
•
Changing certain SharePoint thresholds will start
SQL doing table locks rather than row locks.
• Use indexed columns instead
68. Availability and
Disaster Recovery
• Supported options for HA and DR in SharePoint
• Clustering
• Synchronous Mirroring (SharePoint is mirror aware)
• Synchronous AlwaysOn AG
• Asynchronous Mirroring
(some database types only)
• Asynchronous AlwaysOn AG
(some database types only)
• Log Shipping (some database types only)
• Supported HA/DR options for SP databases
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj841106.aspx
• SharePoint does not support the use of SQL transactional
replication or merge replication
69. Availability and
Disaster Recovery
•When evaluating HA/DR options, remember
• Web server to database response time must be
less than 1ms
• Network needs to support 1 gigabyte per second
bandwidth
70. Availability and
Disaster Recovery
• Remote BLOB storage
•
Does not change storage limits
•
Requires SQL Enterprise
•
Helps to lower costs because cheaper storage can be
used to store large, read intensive BLOBs
•
Uses either filestream or third-party provider
•
Microsoft filestream provider does not support
• Encryption of BLOBs
• Using data compression
•
Use when you many large BLOBs (over 256KB) for readintensive or read-only access.
•
Savings on lower cost storage should outweigh increased
IT operations complexity
•
Third party options have much more flexibility and can
allow BLOBs greater than 2TB but at a cost
•
20ms response time for first byte requirement
