Effective method to Restart SQL Server

We know basically when restarting the SQL server, it is basically means clearing Caches along with some other properties to get reset.

But since our main Priority lies in Cleaning the Cache files, we can write a SQL script for doing this.
SQL server has inbuilt function for clearing Cache Files. The main Cache files required to cleared during Restart is DATA CACHE and PROCEDURE CACHE. This effectively will restart your server.

The Script for clearing these two caches are as follows:


DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS ---- This will clear the data cache
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE ---- This will clear the procedure cache

Transact-SQL programming language provides DBCC statements that act as Database Console Commands for SQL Server.

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below:     As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.
