INF: Understanding How to Configure a SQL Server Connection Affinity Mask (299641)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP1
This article was previously published under Q299641 SUMMARY
This article describes how to use the connection affinity mask option that is available in SQL Server 2000 SP1 or later.
In an online transaction processing (OLTP) environment, the connection affinity mask option may provide performance enhancement in high-end, enterprise-level SQL Server environments that are running on computers with 16 or more CPUs. In particular, this option is useful when there are a significant number of network interactions (more than 10,000 per second) between the middle-tier application servers and the back-end SQL Server system.
