Applying Hotfix To A Single Instance
Aug 1, 2013
I've got a 4 node SQL 2008R2 cluster (configured 2 active - 2 passive), and 9 instances, of which all but one are on SP1 (the most recent addition is on SP2).
I need to apply a hotfix (Cumulative Update 6 for SP1) to just one instance. Can I do this by failing over the affected instance to one of the passive nodes, applying the hotfix, and failing it back again or do I need to apply the hotfix to all nodes as detailed in:
SQL Server failover cluster rolling patch and service pack process
i.e. will it involve a little downtime for all instances on the cluster?

Hi. Was hoping to get some advice on applying a hotfix to a SQL Server 2005 failover Cluster.
The hotfix I am applying (KB933508) relates to a Maintenance Plans issue with Server 2005 Service Pack 2. During installation I'm advised that unless the SQL Server and other services are stopped a reboot will be required, although I can still install the hotfix. However the installation is failing. There are error details in the relevant logs created in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfix to the effect that the 'Debug' value in registry key 'SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller' can't be read and that SQL Server was unable to add a user (the account under which SQL Server Agent and Analysis Services run) to a local group (the domain group in which SQL Server logins are contained).
Is this something simple like explicitly shutting down the services first before applying the hotfix or is there something else going on?

YaHozna

Hi,
I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Himansu

I work for a mid size company with the usual collection of enterprise applications. We are trying to consolidate our SQL environment consisting of around 100 databases none of which are over 100GB with the average database size around 5GB. Recently a large server was purchased as the "Big Daddy" SQL box. Obviously not all the databases will be moved to this one box but within reason a number can.
My question: What is the best way to configure the box?
1 OS & 1 Default Instance - How do we isolate loops memory leaks etc...
1 OS & Multiple instances, ie:Dedicated instance for each application. - How do you allocate CPU & memory, allow for optimum performance without putting others at risk from a rouge process?
Virtualized OS for each application with a default instance - Too much overhead impacts performance?
Future plans include offsite replication, perhaps mirroring with failover.
I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts ideas? How have you tackled this problem in your environment?
Thanks
Scott

Hi,
I have an interesting situation here. I have a SQL Server 2000 database which is attached to SQL Server 2005. The database (SQL 2000) however only has service pack 3 applied. I need to apply SP4 before I can move forward with SQL 2000->2005 upgrade. The question: can I somehow apply this support package with my current configuration or should I install full SQL 2000 front-end anew (which I don't have at the moment)? Whenever I try to run SQL 2000 SP4 it complains "SQL Server 2000 is not installed on this machine."
The server I try to install the update is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition x64. SQL Server 2000 database itself is x86 (obviously).
Thanks.

SQL7
If I have a job that runs every minute, and that job happens to take more than one minute to run on occassion, will SQL Server start a second instance of the job or will it be serial - one after another ?
Thanks,

I have been looking at this statement for allowing access from a remote location to a specific database on my SQL Server (2005) from a client application.
Is it possible to do this using this method? I see lots of examples using this to expose Web Services of DB objects, however I need the client application to be able to authenticate to and access all objects in the database. If so, could some one provide a simple example of the arguments to use? For example, which protocol arguments are valid for this? I would like to use SQL Server Authentication. Is this possible?
Regards,

Can someone explain what does this mean? This is from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/dbmirror.mspx
<quote>However, all these techniques for coordinating client redirection with a database mirroring have an important limitation. Database mirroring occurs only at the database level, not the server level. Be careful if your application relies on querying several databases on a server, or uses multi-part object names to query across several databases. When several databases reside on one server, and they are mirrored to a standby server, it is possible that one of several databases might fail over to the standby but the others remain on the original server. In that case, you might need one connection per database that you are querying, so that you do not attempt cross-database queries on a standby server where only one database is a principal and the remaining are mirrors.</quote>
Also I read somewhere that if one mirrored DB fails, all other mirrored DB should also be transferred to the mirror.
For example: Let's say Srv1 (principle) and Srv2 (mirror) and Srv3(witness) are SQL servers with only default instances. The SQL instance has 4 DBs (DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4) and all of them are mirrored to Srv2.
An ASP.NET application has four seperate connection strings like:
objConn1 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB1;Integrated Security=True;
objConn1.connect();
objConn2 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB2;Integrated Security=True;
objConn2.connect();
objConn3 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB3;Integrated Security=True;
objConn3.connect();
objConn4 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB4;Integrated Security=True;
objConn4.connect();
If DB2 failsover to Srv2 (mirror), why should all other DBs be failedover?
Thanks

Do you need to enable Always on Availabilty on all the instances or only the instance you need to ?. We have 4 instances on a 5 node cluster and we only need one instance for the Always on to be enabled. Do we need to enable on all 4 instances ?

Why would I see high CXPACKET waits on a database instance with only one CPU? Since the server only has 1 CPU parallelism can't be used, or are I'm missing something here!?

SQL Server 2012: Out of all the databases in the instance we have a requirement in which we need to maintain a high availability for the databases around (128). Our team believed log shipping will apt for this requirement but not sure on it's limitations, how many databases are allowed or supports this log shipping from a single instance.

Hello,
Just want to know if anybody else has problems with the hotfix ?
I have a sqlserver 2005 on my desktop.
I installed the sp2 before 5th march.
Recently Microsoft changed the sp2 and released a hotfix for sp2 installed(downloaded) before 5th march.
I installed the hotfix but it failed to update the sqlserver engine.
Very weird.
I uninstalled sqlserver 2005, applied the new sp2 (which was smaller compared with previous one)
Today i still received a critical update in windows update.
I installed it, but i still don't trust these updates.
How can i investigate all went well ?

We would like to apply a hotfix to solve the issue that brought our server down. The hotfix we are trying to apply is in Build 3175. But the latest Cumulative Update 3 Package is Build 3186. Should we apply 3175? Or we can go for the latest build 3186? Which is recommended?

Hi,
Is there anyone know where to get the hotfix to put the "Select All" option back on multi-value parameter list after SP1?
The reason why I didn't install SP2 because it requires to install print control on client side. At the moment our company try to avoid it.
Or is there a way to avoid this print control?
I hope to see some responses from MSFT support team.
Cheers,
XL

I have SP1 on most of my servers. My users however do not. They have been developing using "select all" and are now ready to deploy a major project, I am in the process of installing the hotfix so my question is "they do not have SP1 and I have SP1 along with the hotfix" will that work or does this hot fix require that the client tools have SP1 and the hotfix applied as well"? They do not want to change their development environment since they are so close to deployment of their reports. Thank you!!

I am getting the following (MOM) error on 3 of my databases anytime I initiate a backup of the mdf. The database seems to backup as expected. The one thing that has recently changed is I implemented MS Hotfix 2187 on my SQl cluster over the weekend.
Severity: Critical Error
Status: New
Source: MSSQLSERVER
Name: Commit record has already been distributed. Check DBTABLE
Description: Unable to expand message 17055 [-1073724769] 18264 Database backed up: Database: XX03PLUS, creation date(time): 2005/12/06(18:38:50), pages dumped: 23026, first LSN: 18761:44:1, last LSN: 18761:46:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'G: empar03PLUS_fromVCforK1.bak'}).

Post installation of Hotfix Update 8.00.0679 (for the slammer worm) we've encountered this error on our production server "2003-02-13 09:54:17.14 server Error: 17882, Severity: 18, State: 1
2003-02-13 09:54:17.14 server Error accepting connection request via Net-Library 'SSNETLIB'. Execution continuing..".
This appears to correlate with attempts to access our SQL7 server, which was also patched for the worm (Hotfix 7.00.1030) via any query analyzer linked server reference; in fact the linked server attempt fails on a 'general network failure'.
On the SQL2000 side, the SSNETLIB failure is followed by failures in "Stored function 'xp_enumerrorlogs' in the library 'xpstar.dll' generated an access violation" and then all backups fail on memory allocation failures and major database selects of 100K's records fail on "unable to allocate thread".
Anyone have any thoughts or experiences germane? I'm about to undo the security patch on both servers.
Thanks,
Al

Dear all,
I have recently applied the latest cumulative upgrade 3 for SP2 for SQL Server 2005 (KB939537) to have all the hotfixes needed since the SP2, and to correct a specific one : the 50001440 (SQL Server may fail to generate a plan for a complex query that involves cursors and error 8623 occurs - KB940128).
But it is not included in this latest cumulative upgrade package. I read the new policy about CU but I can not know if the 50001440 hotfix is candidate for the CU :
Cumulative update (CU)
€¢
The update can be requested by any customer, regardless of their support offering.
€¢
The update is released every 2 months.
€¢
The update contains the following:
€¢
All previous critical on-demand hotfixes to date.
Fixes for issues that meet hotfix acceptance criteria. These criteria include workaround availability, customer effect, reproducibility, the complexity of the code that must be changed, and so on.
Another bug, the 50001317 (You may receive error messages when you try to log in to an instance of SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server handles many concurrent connections - KB937745) : it is included in the upgrade 2 for SP2 but not in the upgrade3.
So, is it needed to apply each cumulative upgrade or only the latest CU ? And if it is only the latest CU, why are there missing hotfix ?
Thank you very much
Regards,
Emmanuel

So today I decided I may as well put the latest hotfix package for Sql 2005 onto my laptop.
Unlike SP1 the hotfix actually seemed to know about SQL Express and attempt to install itself only to collapse in a big heap. The log file indicates it can't find a bunch of files it wants to patch.
So how do I apply the hotfixes to Express?

Hi-
Whenever I apply a hotfix to my SQL 2005 install, the folder permissions on :Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL are always reset. Any reason why this happens? I have explicit permission set on that directory to allow our DBAs access as they are not admins on the server.
Thanks.

Ok..So the story is I'm trying to install a SQL Server 2005 SP2 upgrade from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=d07219b2-1e23-49c8-8f0c-63fa18f26d3a&DisplayLang=en
I'm sure my computer is either x64 or ia64, and I have downloaded both the installation files but both of them give me the same error, when the installation bar at the start is pretty much full, it gives me a "hotfix.exe is not a valid Win32 application." error.
And instead of installing it to the usual C: directory, it installs to the F: directory..And it does not give me an option to choose which directory I want to install it into..
My operating system is a Windows XP Pro..
Hope somebody can help me out soon..
Thanks in advance.
