I was wondering how can I read log file in a sql sever 2k5 database??
I mean, I want to check out every query since the selects until those that change server configuration, How can I do it without needing install a third-party software??
Keep in mynd that I need to know: the query (e.g.elect * from table_name) , source , date , application.

I actually am just looking for some supporting documentation on some facets of SQL Server.As far as I have always known, when anyone does a READ from a SQL Server database (SELCT * from <TABLE>), SQL Server does not create a log record...since there's no data or database structure being modified. A colleague is under the impression READ's are logged operations.

Is this possible?

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. The problem I am having is that when I try to attach the existing db files I get a message that says "database cannot be upgraded because it is read only or has read only files...."
Thing is... there is no write protection on the files.
Can anyone advise me on how to overcome this problem so that I can attach the db, please?
Thank you

if it is possible to run a distributed query against 2000 from 2005, what would the OPENDATASOURCE parameters look like? I'd like to be able to pivot without copying my older 2000 db to 2005 or using linked servers..
For reference, here's an example of a distrib query that reads excel...
ie SELECT * INTO XLImport3 FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=C: estxltest.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...[Customers$]
When looking at SQL Server error logs, I noticed that the current error
log had grown to 1MB whereas most of the files are only a few KB.
QUESTION 1: Can I set the max size for an error log file? If so, how?
QUESTION 2: If not, is there a workaround?
Thanks
We're running Lawson software on our SQL 2000 box. We're using Veritas
Backup Exec to back up the databases to tape. I'm also using a Maint
Plan for an extra backup (kinda redundant, but I need the practice at
all this). I just added transaction logs to the maint plan (so I
thought) but I only see a log for 1 of the 3 databases.
Also, my trans log file is 11 gig. I thought backing up the trans logs
would get the trans to delete afterwards (databases are recovery
model=full). Can anyone point a newbie in the right direction.
Fortunately it's not in production yet, and we haven't had any disasters
(yet).
i attached adventure works in sql server 2008 and it showing as read only ,make it read write or remove read only tag from database.

I was wondering if there is any way all SQL Server error log entries could be automatically written to Windows Event Log.
Hi,
In my case I have to log the errors raised by any task in a package to either windows event log, text file or SQL server. Also I need to send an email notifications to a group of people telling them about the error.
Now can I use SSIS package logging for logging the errors into the required destinations. I mean right clicking on the package and selecting Logging, then adding the required log providers and enabling the events for logging into those. I think I have to upfront select the log providers to log the error, I will not have the liberty to log the error to the destination, the name of which is passed as a variable to the package. This is okay with me though.
Now what will a custom log provider help me to do in this case. Also can I somehow configure my package to call the send mail task everytime an error is raised.
Also, one more option can be developing a package that only does the error handling. It will take in the paramters or the error codes and descriptions, the destination to write to and a flag to send mail or not for that particular type of error.
What do you think? Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.

I am hoping that an extremely experienced SQL Server DBA can assist in this critical matter.
We are in a 6.5 to 2000 upgrade process. Our current app runs in 6.5 with acceptable performance times. However, in our testing 2000 has performed miserably (4-10 times longer for identical processes with identical hardware configurations.) The SQL Server and Windows 2000 server has been configured, according to all documented books by MSPress, for optimal performance. We have reviewed all code that Profiler has helped us identify as potiental bottlenecks in the duration of our largest nightly process. The identified code has been scrutinized by both the development team and dba team using all known techniques in determining indexing, better logical and physical reads, optimal query executation plans and ect.
We are perplexed by having found out that identical, optimalized, indexed code runs the same or in most cases worse in 2000 then in 6.5. Our largest performing benchmark sp's has shown that a process in 2000 runs 2-3 times slower than 6.5.
Are there any undocumented tuning, optimizing or 6.5 to 2000 upgrade issues that can be shared as to why 2000 appears to run slower then 6.5? At this point, it would be greatly appreciated if a highly expereinced DBA can provide ANY insight. If no suggestion can be provided, perhaps a contact or names of VERY skilled SQL DBA's that can be contacted in assisting this problem, whether it is a third party or someone from MS.
TIA
I want to read certain data from the backup file of MS SQL 2000 without restoring the database backup file. Based on the data selected I will manage the further functionality such as restoration of the backup file.
Is it possible to read some data from MS SQL 2000 backup file without restoring? If yes then please let me know how?
I am using SqlServer 2000 and Jdbc connectivity in my application on windows.So, when i execute a query on Sqlserver database as :
Select * from DBO.RS_TABLELOB where Rep_sync_id > 15 and Rep_server_name != 'replicator' order by Rep_sync_id;
This problem is only with the BLOB data types in table RS_TABLELOB.
Then i got an error as:
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]ResultSet can not re-read row data for column

We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?
When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.
These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.
The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?
In Enterprise Manager, Management and then SQL Server Logs, when I clicked on Current or Archive#1 or 2 etc, nothing happens. This has been going on for the past 3 weeks does any one knows what is causing such problems?

Hi
I'm very novice when it comes to SQL Server Administration.
I have been asked if the SQL Server Log can trace information on whether data supplied to an individual has been tampered with, or if it is the full data set provided.
Apologies for this vague description, but that is what I have to go on also.
I am trying to find an article which details what the purpose of SQL Server logs are and if I can extract this sort of information from them.
Any idea if the SQL server log can provide tracing/editing/exporting information?
Thanks!!
We are using sql server 2000. I checked the sql server logs and noticed that everytime a user logs into sql an error log gets created stating, "starting up database 'CORT'". This db has nothing to do with users logging in as far as I can tell. What can check to find out what's causing this error log?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question that I hope someone can help with. I am attempting to load my IIS logs into SQL Server using DTS. I have done this sucessfully by manually specifying the source file. I would like to automate this process but, I have been unable to figure out how to do this. The IIS logs changes daily and the file name changes. How do I configure DTS to grab the log for the previous day?
I believe that the solution is to first copy the log to an alternate location then let DTS do it's thing. How do I programatically accomplish this ?

I've been digging for a while to try to find something, even had a consultant looking for me, but came up empty haned.
What I want to do is this:
I activated the Security Audit level for all logins. I want to be able to report last login date for every user from the log, and all login events for SA or any other defined super users.
Is it possible to Query the SQL Server Logs to report this information?
This is for proposed Sarbox Database Security settings.
not sure if this is by default or restricted,
but I can't view the sql server logs using ctp
an error is generated saying the tsql could not be retrieved or something, very long message to post here
is this normal?
TIA

I just installed the SSMS for 2005 Express and cannot view any SQL Server Logs. I see Current and Archive #1,#2 etc but the right pane is blank.

Other thanplacing the program files on C: and data on D:, I saw no option toinstall transaction logs in an alternate location.What is the best practice with SQL server 2000 for location oftransaction logs?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have SQL Server 2005 Express on a Windows XP SP2 machine. Everything works fine and I have several dbs running. How ever I was wanting to optimize some programs and needed to watch the server and see what it is processing. I log into SQL Management Studio Express and when I go to Management->Server Logs I see the logs and the Activity Monitor. If I right click on the log all I see is Refresh. If I doule click nothing happens. I can view the Activity Monitor and the processes going.
I am sure it is a permission thing or something along those lines. I can not for the life of me figure it and have spent a couple days on google and these forums. I have tried with the SA, my defined users, and the local windows administrator. Is log viewing not allowed in SQL Server Express?
Thanks!

Hi,
I understand that there is a SQL Server Logs section in Enterprise Manager 2000 where we can view SQL Server activity. Is it possible that we can get those logs by using query? I had been searching over the Internet, system databases, system SP and still have no idea how to achieve it.
Thanks in advance.
