If an application is reflecting timeout errors but there are no backups running, the network is fine and the data and log files are within normal parameters, what else could be the cause of the errors?
View 9 RepliesHi Guys,
We have a database with 20 gig and with huge transactions. The transaction log backup is scheduled every one hour
from 3.00 AM to 9.00 PM.
We take a full backup in the disk at 9.00 PM and again a full backup in the tape at 2.00 AM
It works fine in the day from 6.00 AM and complete within seconds and the size is approx. 50 to 200 MB.
But the very first transaction log backup at 3.00 AM is running like 3 hrs and the size is approx. 11 gig whick is almost equivalent to the Full backup size. There are some dts packages that are running in the night and as usual reindex, intergrity checks are running and there no large user traffic during night. But I have no idea which the very first transaction log backup in the morning takes longer time and has this bug size. Is there any work around to fix this proble.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anu
We are having problems with users getting the 10005 error when running the application.
This is a new sql2005 server. The DB's are in sql2000 format as the vender is not ready to upgrade application totally to 2005.
The users will have 3 instances of the application open and just one fails.
Any ideas on where to start would be great.
Hi,
I have a problem in my .net application.
I am executing a stored procedure from my .net application.
The scope of this stored procedure is,
1.It should filter the records using several conditions(say it is Customer)
2.Using the filtered records, again some details are fetched(say it is transaction details)
3.For each and every transaction , Some of the details has to be updated in more than three tables, meanwhile the data to be updated is to be calculated (like tax amount, commision amount)which in turn calls two more stored procedures.
my problem is ..
if there are few records like 1000 or 2000, it is working fine...
but if it exceeds like say 6000 records, i am getting Time out expired error in my application .
If i catch the stored procedure exectution statement in sql profiler and execute it in Sql Query analizer , the stored procedure is executing properly but it takes nearly 6 minutes.
How can i solve this problem.
Please suggest me if i can work with any of the following options.
1)go for web services
2)go for windows services
3)optimize the stored procedure
If any one know some better answer to solve my problem..please post it.
Advance thanks
bye

SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.
have SQL Server 2005 std edition SP1 installed on Windows 2003 Std edition .Configured Transactional (single Publisher and no clustered environment.)
Replication past two months working fine, Now
1.Distrib.exe application err is coming.
Due to which my job is failing (Distributor to Subscriber).
Iam attaching thw file.

How to find a running application in SQL Server?
Hi
In SQL Server (7.0, 2000), we know HOST_NAME() in a DEFAULT definition is used to record the workstation name of computers. But I need to find the name of the application which interacts my DB from the workstations. Is it possible? Please help me
Regards

We have a number of databases(on sqlserver 7.0) which has the same structure but with data for different users. We would like to change the structure of the databases with minimum effort and with minimum down time.
Is there any method to automate the change so that the change is reflected in all the databases when a single database structure is changed?
Any suggestions in this regard are welcome and urgent
I have a database db1 on server1 and server2.The Db On server1 is a production db and the Db on server2 is a staging Db.All the new data will be coming into production Db.And i wanted to update the data and database structures on staging Db from production Db on weekly basis.So how can I reflect the data and datastructures on my staging Db from my production Db.
Thanks.
Hi,
We are having SQL2000 Advance Server.
4 processor with hypherthreading, Memory 4 GB and it is a high transactional OLTP server. We are also running Transaction Replication on that server.
We recently bought Double Take and implemented on the server with File Difference with block check sum option for Disaster Recovery Purpose.
The Queue and the Log file folder is on local drive where the system doesn't use that folder except double take.
We are replicating from Source to Taget thru the WAN (DS3).We are replicating approx. 200 Gig of Data but just the difference.
Now the CPU usage is normal,Memory utilization is normal, but the network is a major problem as the Applications connecting to the Server timesout and the applications running very slow.
We have set just like the Tech support recommended.
I would appreciate, if someone give us some recommendations to run the double take without any problem.
Thanks in advance.

I have an asp.net web application and a web service (both of them are created in VS 2005 - asp.net 2.0). They are located on the same web server. In both web.config files, I have set <authentication mode="Windows"/> and <identity impersonate="true"/>. Also, configured the IIS settings to use Integrated Windows Authentication and unchecked the Anonymous access (for both). The web service is called from the web app, so I have to pass credentials for authentication to the web service. The web service loads and executes a SSIS package. The package and all the other sql objects are located in the sql server 2005 (windows server 2003 - the same server as the web server).
When run the web service from develop environment (vs. 2005), I get whatever I expected. When call it from web application, however, the package failed (no error message).
In the SSIS package, there are three connection managers €“
· A: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0 Ã connectionType=OleDbConnection
· B: .Net Providers SqlClient Data Provider à connection type=SqlConnection
· C: Native OLE DB Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server à connectionType=OLEDB
After ran the web application and check the sql database, I can tell that the package was reached and when through the first two steps (clear some records in table_1 and extract some records from table_2 ) which relate to the connection manager B €“ ADO.Net connection. The remaining steps failed which are related to the connection managers A & C.
From SSIS package log file, found that the user credentials (domain and username) were correctly passed from web service to sql server 2005 at the first two events, but the credentials (or operator) changed from domainABCuser123 to NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE after packageStart. Then, it complains €¦ either the user, domainABCserverName$, does not have access to the database, or the database does not exist.
I think the credentials are passed ok but some setting related to the Analysis services are not correct - complaining start from there. Any clues?
Please help and thank you all!
Hello,
Hopefully someone can help. I am not new to SQL Server, but am new to SSIS packages. As one step of my package I need to open and run a windows application. No problem there right? But, my problem is that I cannot get the "focus" returned back to the SSIS package. It doesnt move on to the next step until I close the windows application. It is like the package is the parent object waiting for a "finished" message from the child object, and it doesn't receive that message until the child object is closed. I've tried using a batch file to run the app and calling the batch file from an Execute Process Task, but that doesn't move onto the next step until the dos command prompt window closes and I can find a way to automatically close it from XP. I also can't find a way to kick off this windows app from a script task using command line. Not sure if I would run into the same problem going that route or not. If anyone can help, i would appreciate it.
Thanks

Can anyone help me?

I am running multiple instance of the same application. This application is connecting to the database and running stored procedures using ADODB (all code examples are taken from msado15).
The problem is that somehow these two applications are sharing something either with the connection or commands.
For instance if the two instances are in the following function at the same time then they both thow an SEH exception:
Code Snippet
inline _RecordsetPtr Command15::Execute ( VARIANT * RecordsAffected, VARIANT * Parameters, long Options ) {
struct _Recordset * _result = 0;
HRESULT _hr = raw_Execute(RecordsAffected, Parameters, Options, &_result);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
return _RecordsetPtr(_result, false);
}
The exception that occurs is: "First-chance exception ...: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000068."
And afterwords when they go to release the command an error occurs on
First-chance exception at 0x4de4120c in IpsEngine.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.
Code Snippet
inline void _bstr_t::Data_t::_Free() throw()
{
if (m_wstr != NULL) {
::SysFreeString(m_wstr);
}
if (m_str != NULL) {
delete [] m_str;
}
}
This is being called from.
Code Snippet
inline void Command15::PutRefActiveConnection ( struct _Connection * ppvObject ) {
HRESULT _hr = putref_ActiveConnection(ppvObject);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
}
The exception that occurs: First-chance exception at ...: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.
Similarly when one instance releases a command using
Code Snippet
inline void Command15::PutRefActiveConnection ( struct _Connection * ppvObject ) {
HRESULT _hr = putref_ActiveConnection(ppvObject);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
}
The second instance of the application fails when running the command at the exact same time.
Code Snippet
inline _RecordsetPtr Command15::Execute ( VARIANT * RecordsAffected, VARIANT * Parameters, long Options ) {
struct _Recordset * _result = 0;
HRESULT _hr = raw_Execute(RecordsAffected, Parameters, Options, &_result);
if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
return _RecordsetPtr(_result, false);
}
The command and connections are not static and there should be completely seperate instances of these for each instance of the application. Does anybody know why this may be happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have developed a stand alone application that get data from excel and dumps it in local database (sql server database primary data file) in visual studio .net 2005. I had no issues while developing the application. When i am trying to install this application in the standalone system with .net framework 2.0 and no backend database it giving the following error
provider: sql network interfaces, error 26 - Error locating Server/ Instance Specified
connection string i am using is
Dim objLocalDB As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
objLocalDB = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=" & System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "LFDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
I dont want to use any backend database. I only want to use the database that comes with .net (i.e sqlexpress)
Please help me how can i get through this problem.
I have done a fresh sql 2012 standalone installation but the instance services are not getting reflected in SQL server configuration manager
Although I can find the instance details in services.msc and also in n/w configuration of configuration manager but in the sql services tab of config manager , it is not showing .
The hide instance is unchecked when I check the protocol properties.
I'm updating a process that recreates a large table every night. The table is the result of a bunch of nightly batch processes and holds a couple million records. In the past, each night at the end of the batch jobs the table would be dropped and re-created with the new data. This process was embodied in dynamic sql statements from an MFC C++ program, and my task is to move it to a SQL Server 2000 stored procedure that will be called from a .Net app. Here's the relevant code from my procedure:
sql Code:
Original
- sql Code
-- recreate new empty BatchTable table
print 'Dropping old BatchTable table...'
exec DropBatchTable --stored procedure called from old code that does a little extra work when dropping the table
-- validate drop
If exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[BatchTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
Begin
RAISERROR( 'Unable to drop old BatchTable!',0,1) WITH NOWAIT
End Else Begin
print 'Old BatchTable dropped.'
End
print 'Creating new BatchTable...'
SELECT TOP 0 *, cast('' as char(3)) as Client, cast('' as char(12)) as ClientDB
INTO dbo.BatchTable
FROM differentDB.dbo.BatchArchives
--validate create
If Not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[BatchTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
Begin
RAISERROR( 'Unable to create new BatchTable!',0,1) WITH NOWAIT
End Else Begin
print 'New BatchTable Created.'
End
-- recreate new empty BatchTable table print 'Dropping old BatchTable table...' exec DropBatchTable --stored procedure called from old code that does a little extra work when dropping the table -- validate drop IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = object_id(N'[dbo].[BatchTable]') AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) BEGIN RAISERROR( 'Unable to drop old BatchTable!',0,1) WITH NOWAIT END ELSE BEGIN print 'Old BatchTable dropped.' END print 'Creating new BatchTable...' SELECT TOP 0 *, CAST('' AS CHAR(3)) AS Client, CAST('' AS CHAR(12)) AS ClientDB INTO dbo.BatchTable FROM differentDB.dbo.BatchArchives --validate create IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = object_id(N'[dbo].[BatchTable]') AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) BEGIN RAISERROR( 'Unable to create new BatchTable!',0,1) WITH NOWAIT END ELSE BEGIN print 'New BatchTable Created.' END
The print statements are there because the .net app will read them in and then write them to a log file. Some of the other mechanics are there to mimic the old process. The idea is to duplicate the old process first and then work on other improvements.
This works in Management studio. The .Net App reports that the old table was dropped, but when it tries to create the new table it complains that "There is already an object named 'BatchTable' in the database." I have verified that the old table is removed.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Hello,
We are managing industry standard application for solvent business need and it is working fine as per requirement but after replication we got some problem with date type data.
We have stored date data through application in dd/mm/yy format only, we didn't used time data so it is truncated in overall application but after implementation for replication (Merge Model) from multiple location some date field automatically get time with date value, so some time application not retrieving data from database owing to stored time with date.
How I can resolve this issue I didn't get any solution in short way.
Thanks in advance to every particapetience.

How to launch Oracle SQL Developer through "Run"Â window in windows as we can launch SQL Server Management studio through "Run" command line using command line "sqlwb -S localhost -d MyDB -U sa -P
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am developing an ETL system on a 32-bit machine let's say, called 'dwdev'. The application connects to a Sybase database as a source system using ODBC connection. I am able to run this application directly from Visual studio 2005 and i am able to deploy it into SQL Server 2005 and run it from Server as a job. Both work. At this server i am connecting to a SQL Server instance called 'dwdev'.
When i transfer my application onto a 64-bit machine, let's say called 'dwtest', i am able to run my application from Visual Studio 2005 properly and it works, but when i deploy it into SQL Server (instance is called 'dwtest') and try to run it as a job just like the development machine, it gives an error and stops executing.
I was facing 'data source' type of error when i was first trying it from Visual Studio, but i solved this problem by setting Run64bitRunTime settings to FALSE on the Project's properties Debugging Page, at 64-bit machine. now it uses 32-bit runtime then 32-bit Sybase ODBC driver. But i cannot force the application to use 32 bit runtime when i am executing it from SQL Server as a job.
How can i do that? is there an alternative method?
Thanks for your help...

I have this (processing time ) ONLY in my ORDER by clause and when i execute the statement it does exactly what i was looking for , however when i run the report the sort order is not delivered. I checked each column tablix properties and the sorting order is set for Processing Time.

I want to build a windows application in Visual Studio 2005 that grabs some data from a SQL DB and displays it in a gridview. That is easy and I already have it done, but I also want to know how to show this data in real-time. For example: right now we have a application that pulls some login information for all the users and displays their phone extension, their name, and their status. They can change their status by clicking on some radios below the datagrid and on change it updates the data and then posts back. However, I dont know how the guy who did it made it so that these local changes are automatically shown on everyone elses computers around the office. In other words, they are shown the live data as it changes, without having to refresh it or anything. How would I go about doing this or does anyone have any places/resources that could help me accomplish this task. Thanks.
Oh and the guy who wrote this is no longer working here and he deleted the source code so i cant look at it.
We have an issue where servers goes slow from morning 2 AM EST to 10 AM EST.
Using SP_WhoIsActive we somehow found that there is netbackup from Symantec which runs during that time phrase.
As per Symantec team there backup should get over by 5 AM EST, per their testing for almost 100 Dbs on the server( not big in size , all of them in total would be 60 GB).
Using SP_whoisactive we only see, start time of that virtual backup occurring on tape, for one database at time.
So is there a way we actually determine when does the above backup kicks and stops?Also, could SQL server be the problem in making these backups run slow or there is something else i need to monitor?
Any ideas on how you might determine if a database backup is currently running? T-SQL script is preferable.
Background (SQL 2000 SP4):
I was previously running a script to backup the transaction log on a large database each hour. The script first looked in the backupset table in the msdb database to determine if a full backup was running by looking for a null value in the backup_finish_date column. Then the log backup would wait until the next hour to commence if it found a full backup had not finished yet. Some other cleanups and file numbering were also dependent on whether or not a null value was found in this column.
This process stopped working for me recently so I have looked closely at the inserts on the backupset table and found that the row for a given backup is not committed until the backup has completely finished. Therefore, the above process will not work as intended.
Thanks!
Wanted to verify how I would run a replace...it's actually my first time doing a replace, but figure it's worse to screw this up than just a simple SELECT :)
The table/field is:
SOHeader.ShiptoID
I need to go through and replace only values which are equal to '9999' with the word 'DEFAULT' instead for all rows in that column.
Hello,
If my SSIS runs every day, how can I "know" that I'm running it for the first time?
I need an SQL Select1 statement to execute the first day that my flow starts (to get all the old data) and after that SQL Select2 statement should always execute (to get the latest data).
How is this possable?
Thank you.
