We are relatively new to the setup, configuration and use of MS SQL. We are currently using MS SQL2000, Our sql application performance as become very slow. I am trying to find some basic "beginner" steps that I can take to improve performance and quicker lookups. Some of the things I have heard but I am not sure what they mean or how to do them are:
1) Locate SQL Temp files onto another drive, will this help and which/what temp files
2) should i put the mdf ldf files onto a separate drive?
3) Put Sql server program on a seperate drive?
4) our ldf file size is about 2GB is that OK any suggestions
Any other basic suggestions to improve performance and throughput is appreciated

if you don't know where the bottleneck is, you need to profile. it could be something as simple as creating an index would fix your problems.

do you know how to use Profiler?

you can use profiler to identify the queries that are chewing up your server - fix those queries one by one to free the bottleneck.

of course there's configuration stuff you need to pay attention to, but i'll let the other experts here address that stuff. I'm not really a dba.

on using profiler:

lots more if you poke around with google:
