ABSTRACT:
SQL Server is an extremely popular relational database management system (RDBMS) that is easy to install, administer, and program. It ships with many shrink-wrapped applications and it is included with various Microsoft products such as Office and Visual Studio.
In fact, SQL Server is so easy to use that in many enterprises, individual departments have installed SQL Server without involving the DBA management team. Often the DBA team is not even aware of the departmental SQL Server installation until a problem occurs that requires expertise beyond what the department can provide.
This phenomenon of multiple SQL Server implementations is so frequent it has been given its own name: SQL Server sprawl.
This paper discusses the problems associated with SQL Server sprawl and explains how to solve the problems by consolidating SQL Servers.
