Author -E switch to start SQL Server?

Hi,

What is the -E switch in SQL Server?
(not -e but -E)

I have read this:
SQL Server can allocate 4 extents instead of 1 extent when the -E switch is
specified during startup. Hence, the -E switch enables SQL Server to issue
256 KB I/O even if extent fragmentation exists because of proportional fill.

Does this switch can improve the performance of a data warehouse database?

thanks.

Jerome.

Hey J,

Have you tried this switch? and is it making a difference?

not tested for the moment.

I plan a test this week maybe.
But I want to know your feedback in case of anyone has a bad experience with
it ;)
