I was recently experiencing a slowness when executing stored procedures from a .NET Application, but it went fast when executing from Query Analyzer. Research led me to find that by turning ArithAbort ON that it forces the SQL Server to use the same Execution plan whether the request is coming from Query Analyzer or the Application.
My concern now is the effect of ArithAbort. I understand what turning this option does, but I am trying to think of a scenario where turning it on could be bad. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be aware of when disabling/enabling ArithAbort or ArithIgnore?
Hi,I am getting the following error when I run a stored procedure inwhich I am inserting/deleting data from a view that selects from aremote table.INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrectsettings: 'ARITHABORT'The first statement in the stored procedure is 'set arithabort on'. Ialso ran 'set arithabort on' before creating the view.I read many articles ragarding the setting of arithabort. I set it forthe connection, for the database (alter database) and above all forthe server (sp_configure) but could not get around the above error.However, when I had made the setting using "sp_configure 'useroptions', 64" I was able to run the stored procedure successfully acouple of times. But, later when I had resest 'user options' to 0 andthen back to 64 just to reproduce the earlier error and confirm thatthe error does not come with the 'user options' to 64 setting I wasgetting the same error.Is there any way by which I can overcome the problem?Thanks,Iqbal
I am currently running the following query from Query Analyser, I am connected to Server_A and inserting records into Server_B.Database_B.dbo.MyTable from Server_A .Database_A.dbo.TableRef
Insert into Server_B.Database_B.dbo.MyTable(Field1,Field2,Field3) Select Field1_Ref,
Field2_Ref, Field3_Ref from Server_A .Database_A.dbo.TableRef
However Server_B.Database_B.dbo.MyTable is referenced within an Indexed View and whenever I run this query I get the following error:
Msg 1934, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods.
I have tried setting ARITHABORT to ON & OFF within the Query and within the database properties but still recieve the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this would not work?
I have recently set up a view with a clustered and a non-clustered index on it (t-SQL is below). To create the view and indexes I set arithabort to on as per the help file articles. However, this setting is causing the following error when my application calls a stored procedure setting values in a table:
The transaction was rolled back for the following reason: UPDATE failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods. Last Query: MFSetApplicant
I am including 2 columns from the table the sp is trying to update in the view. The sp is a very basic update statement, setting all the values in the table row and using the primary key in the where clause. The sp ran fine with no errors prior to changing the setting of arithabort and adding the view and indexes and has been doing so for the last 5 years.
I have tried setting arithabort to off and the error keeps being thrown. I have tried tracing the transaction and can see nothing wrong with the way the sp is being used or the parameters being passed in. Is there any way to change this setting back to off so I can stop this error being thrown? Am I missing something obvious?
thanks

I wrote a stored procedure and set it as a schedule. it has no problem when I execute this SP in query analyzer. But it will show error when I execute it in schedule job. I think the main reason is I have created a DDL trigger that will fire when DDL_DATABASE_LEVEL_EVENTS happens. Any solution?

Instead of using Full-Text indices, which I don't like to manage, we've tried to use seperate tables that contain recordID, the word, a count of the word in the parent field and computed column which is the CHECKSUM() of the word column. I indexed the checksum column with a clustered index.
Works great in Query Analyser. But when the ASP page calls it, I get this message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E14) INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'.
Same for updates and deletes. The question is how should these SET settings be done? Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.

I could do with a couple of pointers to the best options to acheive my goal, I'm pretty close with the way I've done it, but I feel there is a more elegant solution out their so your help would be most appreciated.
The problem is finding the best way of moving some SQL Server 2000 changed data into sql server 2005. We are only interested in some tables in 2000 (and sometimes just subsets of those). Because there are quite a few tables and the we want to set up a schedule to run periodically, we chose SSIS. The main reason for this is to utilise a for each loop that pulls each tables name from a one column staging table of table names. (that way we can do more or less comparisons by simply adding and removing from the staging table) Also in this loop, using the table name as a variable, we run an exec sql task along the lines of 'SELECT * from varTable EXCEPT SELECT * from varTable_tracker' which gives us the difference beteween the two tables (where the tracker table is a copy of the data table which is sychronised at the end of the job run). So far so good. Now the tricky bit, EXCEPT only works under 2005, the tables are in 2000 so we ended up having a linked server in 2005 back to the 2000 table. Is there a way of acheiving the same result without involving the linked server - or is there a task (script?) we can run to verify the linked server is up before we excecute the job -we already run checks on Connection Managers to see if they are up but never tried linked servers? Lastly, will performance be an issue
anyone know about the undocument options of DBCC? which options are undomented? i.e. log There are only a few options which are documented in SQL Online Books thank in advance
What are the most critical "dbcc" options that should be run to insure the sanity of database and DBA alike? Do these have to be run in single user mode or can they be run while users are on the system?
An automatic monthly delete has recently grown from 15 to 20 million rows. It is now filling my 70GB T-Log completly. I don't have any space to expand the T-Log. Do I have any options other than reducing the number of rows in the delete?
hey guys, i need your help please. here is the scenario:
1. I need to return a data back to client (result set varies 20-10,000) 2. I only want to show 20 records at a time 3. To get info i need to display i need to join 10 tables
When there are small #s of records it works but when i get over 8000 then it becomes a problem:
1. The first version was: Get all data using big query and return everything back to client and display only 20 at a time (not very proficient). Takes around 15 seconds to view 20 records.
2. Inspired by 4GuysFromRolla (http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/062899-1.shtml) Use Stored Procedure w/ server side paging logic to get 20 records at the time. I had to pass every filter parameter and stuff. SP had to sort resultset and return only 20 records i need to display. Takes around 5 seconds to view 20 records.
I still think it's slow, i know this is a very broad question but is there any other way to do it, logically?
Hi folks, Recently i've installed a fresh Installation of Opertaing Sys and SQL. Win 2000 server, sp4 SQl 2000 Enterprise, sp3. I am using Domain user service startup for sql and is member of domain admin. I've manually added the user in Local-Admin group of the system. Obviously it's also has Sys-Admin server roles. The problem is; when i use enterprise manager and change any of the server settings; Priority Boost or Fix Memory Allocation for the Sql server, nothing happens, the options dialog box closes and doesn't ask for restarting the server neither does the settings take effect when i restart SQL. However if i change the settings using sp_configure using the same user; it works. i've assigned a fixed memory to SQL but the option "Reserver Physical Memory For SQL" won't work. Couldn't find this option in SP_Configure. Any ideas, what has gone wrong.
This follows on from a query I had a few days back (and for which I was promptly flamed! However, I've got skin like a rhinoseros, so here goes...)
I have a table - ProjectSite - that is pulling information from a two tables (Project and Site). This table contains data regarding which sites are part of which project.
I now want a means of reporting dates against this. The problem is that each project has bespoke milestone dates, so I can't just create columns in ProjectSite. The only solution I can see is to pull each project (and there's quite a few and its corresponding sites into a new table) and then I can create my bespoke columns.
Does this sound like the best viable option, or can anyone suggest another means of doing this?
I am considering the different options for package deployment on the server. Until now, I have found several different ways to deploy packages to the server (File System):
Using the Import option from the Management Studio (only one by one) Using the Deployment Utility (Needs building the whole project. Opens all the packages in debugging mode, cannot deploy to different folders) Using the dtutil by constructing a command line for each package deployment. (complicated) Simply copying the files from the local project folder to the "Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackages" folder on the server.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for deployment? The 4th seems to be the easiest one, but I seen anybody suggesting such an action. What's the downside of such an action?
I hoipe someone can point me in the right direction here.
I have an application with the following requirements (using SQL CE 2 alas)
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. Using rda, I need to get the modifications to these tables from the server (add/edit/delete) but the handheld will never update these tables.
A set of tables on the server that need to be imported to the handheld. The handheld needs to add/edit existing records, and it needs to get any changes from the server.
A set of tables on the server where the handheld needs to import a subset of the records. It needs to add (but not edit) new records, upload the new records to the server, and download any changed (add/edit/delete) records to the handheld. What tracking options should I use in these 3 cases?
The problem comes in that I need to have some foreign key relationships in the database on the handheld. Since rda munges the names of primary keys (and indexes), I do not know of a good way to add these foreign key constraints. Any suggestions?
Hello all. I am currently doing some research into options for setting up reporting. Right now we have a server on EE that's getting hit a bit too hard by the reports. The budget is currently a bit low, but we already have a second server purchased.
For our reporting, we need data that is up to date within the last 15 minutes (less if possible). Because of the potential size of some of our transactions, I've ruled out log shipping as being too much downtime of the reporting data while the second server is catching up to speed. So, I'm trying to figure out what reporting options I have left open to me.
1) I understand that for reporting purposes, a snapshot must be taken of the mirrored server. Why are reports not able to run directly off the mirror live (or am I mistaken?).
2) Is it possible to mirror from EE to SE (remember, low budget for the second server)?
3) How high is the overhead when doing a snapshot every 5-15 minutes ( I would think it's machine specific, but overall is it pretty quick or prohibitive based on how often the snapshot would be needed)?
4) Is replication perhaps a better option based on how up to date the data has to be? Are there any other options that may be available for near-realtime reporting?
I have been attempting to locate a hosting company that offers SQL Server 2005 in addition to Analysis & Reporting Services but have been unable to find a hosting company which does so without purchasing the entire server. Anyone know of a company?
I have got a small project that requires to feed in a .CSV flat file and load the data into SQL server 2000.
I developed a SSIS package for this and get it working in my computer, but I need to deploy it to customers that they don't have VS 2005 or SSIS installed. May any one of you give me some clues on that?
I played around with the flat file deployment and again it seems only working on my computer as I have everything installed.
Just wanted to get some feedback on this scenario. I will be developing an ASP.net application for our local intranet that employees will have access to. It may also be implmented to allow employees to access this ASP site from home as well. I would be using SQL Server 2000 as the backend DB and wondered what type of licensing would best fit this scenario?
Sorry if this is double posted....seemed to be having some issues with posting.

I have selected the sqldatasource control and specified the connection string, on configure Select statement page under advanced options both the check marks Generate INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE Statements Use Optimistic Concurrency are disabled for me.I have a proper SQL Server database not an express data base, how do i get to generate the InserCommand, EditCommand etc Any help would be great .. relatively new here thanks
I'm writing an Insert form which will write records to a few tables. What I want to know is how do I write multiple answers to one question in different rows in the table but keeping the ID?
For example.
The form has the following fields:
HotelIDHotelFacilities (CheckBoxList)
Now each hotel (in this case) will only have one ID but more than one HotelFacility .
How do I get my table to read...
HotelID
HotelFacility
1
Bar
1
Restaurant
1
Cafe
1
Wi-Fi Access
I presume INSERT INTO tblHotelFacilities(HotelID, HotelFacility) VALUES(@HotelID, @HotelFacility) won't write more than one selected facility?Thanks,Brett

We have an intranet site (.NET 2.0) that needs to access to a SQL Server 2005. We've created a named user on the server, WebUser, and use it's credentials in the connection string to connect to the server. Due compliance issues, we're being asked to remove all the named users from the server. Now the users will have to connect to the database using their security context. That means all the users need to be in some server role, should be given access to the server, etc which is a security risk and a maintenance nightmare. What other alternatives do we have to solve this problem? Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Often we come across a form with a dropdown list (populated from a lookup table) with "Other" option as well. When user selected "Other" option a textbox appears where he can specify new option(This option is not to be added to master lookup table).
What is the best way to store it in database? I have 2 columns (A and B). 'A' contains Lookup ID if some option other than "Other" is selected, else 'A' has NULL and 'B' field contains the text of Textbox.
But while reporting I face problems as in a report the selected option text (either 'A' or 'B') has to be shown under one column only but SELECT A,B results in 2 columns.
