Causes For Latch Wait Time
Jan 6, 2008
I setup a SQL Agent to send me an email when the Average Latch Wait Time is greater than 300ms. Now I receive an email every 15 seconds stating that the current ALWT is 3916ms. That value never changes with the emails. However, the perfmon shows nothing at all (shows zero).
I also have a Buffer cache hit ratio of 2848.00.
These numbers are when there is NOBODY on the DB at all It is just sitting there. When I reboot the server, as soon as SQL starts it starts to send the emails again.
Server: Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.66
RAM: 4GB (with /3GB in the boot.ini)
RAID 1: OS
RAID 1: Data (DB and logs)
CPU Utilization: 0-1%
RAM Utilization: 527MB
OS: Server 2003 R2 With SP2
SQL: 2005 Standard with SP2
How can I determine if the ALWT is really 3916?
I executed 'Select * from sysprocesses where SPID>50 and waittime>0'
Which showed;
BROKER_RECEIVE_WAITFOR
waittime=110640ms
waittype=0x0075
status=suspended
program_name=DatabaseMail90 - Id<3780>
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Hi All,
This might be a bit of a question like "how long is a peice of string" however here goes.....
What is considered to be a high average latch time?
We have a SQL2000 machine which has:
700-900 ms average latch time
100% Buffer Cache Hit Ratio
No memory pages / second
Very low (almost always below 5%) cpu usage
Next to no disk transfers / sec
0 average lock time
I am surprised that the latch time is so high. Any ideas, whether I should be looking at something in particular?
Cheers in advance.
Troy

When I look at sp_who2 or sp_lock I don't see anything blocking processes or anything else out of the ordinary.

Hello all,I've got a query which suddently became very slow. It now takes about 10secs instead of 2 secs.I've got to identical DB (one is for test and the other is production). Thequery is slow only in production.When running this query in both DB and looking at execution plan,statistics, etc, the onle difference is the Cumulative wait time on serverreplies.In test DB, I get the value: 2200And in production DB: 1.22344e+009What does this mean concretly? What do I have to do to solve this problem?TIA.YannickPS I'm using SS2000 SP3 on NT4.0

I am currently investigating aa high avg write time ms issue (145ms) which seems to be only occuring on the tempdb data files.I have followed the recommended setup of TEMPDB in that
1. Data files = number of physical cores
2. Data files and logfiles are on separate partitions away from the other databases.
3. Tempdb is presized and no incremental file increases look like they are happening with frequency.
We have sharepoint 2012 setup on other sql servers and with TEMPDB setup following the same guidelines, with far more Sharepoint activity on a similary specified hardware which is why its confusing.FileIO auditing on the partitions themselves shows that the FileIO is very fast on the partitions that the tempdb data file which leads me to beleive that Sharepoint may be the culprit perhaps due to excess use of tempdb with operations taking a long time to resolve.

Does anybody know what might cause the following message to show up inthe SQL Server Error Log?:Time out occurred while waiting for buffer latch type 2, bp0x12260f80, page (5:77914), stat 0x40d, object ID 7:421576540:0,waittime 500. Continuing to wait.I've read several articles about what to do about this situation onSQL Server 2000, but I'm running SQL Server 7.0. Specifically, I'mrunning version 7.00.842. Is there a way to resolve this problemwithout upgrading to some flavor of SQL Server 2000?

Hi,
we''re currently performing a dry run of migrating some large (100GB+) SQL Server 2000 databases from a SQL 2000 cluster onto a new 2005 mirrorred database pair. The new configuration has completely separate database servers and a new dedicated SAN.
Upon restoring our largest database we are seeing the following errors recorded in the log after setting up mirroring and then trying to run DBCC CHECKDB:
"Unable to read and latch page (1:1323852) with latch type SH. 21(The device is not ready.) failed."
We are currently investigating the SAN hardware logs to determine if this might be a physical issue as it would seem to indicate, however has anyone any experience of this or insight into what may cause this error?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Is it possible to generate a script, that extracts every bit of data it can, from tables which suffers from latch errors;
DBCC CHECKDB ->
Msg 7985, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
System table pre-checks: Object ID 4. Could not read and latch page (1:403) with latch type SH. Check statement terminated due to unrepairable error.
So bad news on that one. There are no backup available that I know off, so all bets are off on that part of the recovery process.
The "good news" part of the problem, is that it is possible to extract some data out of the table, before SQL server 2005 returns the error. So what I want to do, is get every bit out I can, doing it somehow automatically, so I don't have to run bcp on 180 tables :).
Presumeably, this is quite possible, but how?
NB. If I do a complete basic SELECT * FROM tbl1, it returns data, then errors out, but what about the data after the last row SELECT returns? Is it possible, that there might be data in the table that are recoverable after the 'broken row(s)'?

I am getting below error while executing any SQL query on database server.
Time-out occurred while waiting for buffer latch type 2 for page (20:17937), database ID 13.
There is currently some space issue on the server, so by any chance this space issue is causing this error?

I am running into problems while running a large procedure, and i think it may have something to do with a PAGEIOLATCH_SH wait problem.
My server, whose sole purpose is to run this one procedure, is doing plenty of disk i/o, and the CPU’s bouncing around, so I assume it’s working. But when I look at its process info, it seems to be sleeping a lot of the time on PAGEIOLATCH_SH. No other users are in the DB, so I'm quite confused. I don't find much info on this anywhere, so any insight would be very appreciated.

I'm new to SQL Sever 2005 and I'm trying to do what Informatica (Power Center - ETL) is trying does.
I have created a work flow and it is scheduled to run at every night 1:00 AM .The process is to load a flat file (CRV.data) into the database from a shared location.The flat file is transfered from a 3rd party and once the file transfer is complete it will create a indicator file (0 byte eg: CRV.DONE file) which indicates the CRV.data transfer is complete.
In my workflow I will be waiting for the CRV.DONE indicator file and once it is avaiable I will start loading the CRV.data and once the load is completed I will delete CRV.DONE file and be ready for the next day load.
Please let me know if there is any way in SQL Server 2005 to achieve it.Thanks

Hi. We are migrating a mainframe datacom database to SQL Server. One of our client-server applications already uses SQL Server. This application uses a middleware product to query and update the datacom database being migrated. We are considering using Service Broker to replace the middleware.
In many cases the client does not need a response provided the message is queued and will eventually get delivered. However, in some cases the client would like to wait for the message to be processed before proceeding. Is there an easy way to both submit and optionally wait for a response - with data - in a single stored procedure? If client does not want to continue to wait, is there a way to use a procedure to check for the returned message later?
We have not used Service Broker before and are doing for a "sanity" check before proceeding. We do not want to tightly couple the two databases at this time.

I have installed performance dashboard on 2 different servers. The first server have User Session CPU Time 71% and Wait Time =28%, The other server have Cpu Time of 20% and Wait Time of 79%. Have I understand that stands in SQL Server Waits And Queues that I have some typ of wait problem in my second server?
Then I tries to run this
Select
'%signal waits' = cast(100.0 * sum(signal_wait_time_ms) / sum (wait_time_ms) as numeric(20,2)),
'%resource waits'= cast(100.0 * sum(wait_time_ms - signal_wait_time_ms) / sum (wait_time_ms) as numeric(20,2))
From sys.dm_os_wait_stats
First Server
%signal waits %resource waits
--------------------------------------- ----------------------------
0.07 99.93
Second Server
%signal waits %resource waits
--------------------------------------- ----------------------------
0.12 99.88
Messy in my head€¦ Help please
My second server have
CLR with 50% in the historial wait. Rest in Sleep
My first server have
99% in sleep wait category.

I am running a DBCC SHRINKFILE on "FILE1" of a database (it has fileid = 1)...intent is to remove 70GB of file space:
DBCC SHRINKFILE (N'FILE1' , 400000).
For the SPID that's doing the shrink, In activity monitor you can see:
Waittype: PAGEIOLATCH_EX on resource: 9:3:15411328
(the DB is dbid=9)
But why does it need a page from fileid=3? Are there page dependencies between files that prevent moving a page within a given file? Does it need that fileid3 page to come along?
Its just sitting there in the SUSPENDED state for the last hour....I am going to leave it another 5 hours or so before cancelling.
The dm_exec_requests has an estimated percent complete at 83% and holding....not sure if I can believe that.

I'm doing an update on a table with about 113m rows, the update-statement is fairly simple: update tab set col = null where col is not null.
The col column is mostly null.
Sysprocesses shows three rows for this statement: 1 CXPACKET (its a dual processor, 2000 box with sp3 installed), 2 PAGEIOLATCH_SH (waitresource is filled). My guess would be that the where-clause is executed in a seperate process blocking the update.
I changed the statement into update [...] set col = null; sysprocesses shows one row with PAGEIOLATCH_SH. Executing forever.
I checked other processes including those outside sqlserver but none are using the db, let alone accessing the table involved. Even restarted sqlserver to be sure there's no dead process blocking the update. Didn't help.
So I added a search condition to the where-clause, involving a clustered index in order to reduce the rowcount. The execution plan shows a 97% hit on the clustered index, but sysprocesses shows the three rows again...
So far the profiler didn't help me out either: there's a SP: CacheInsert on the update-statement... then nothing.
What should I do?

I have an ASP.NET web application that hangs on a single database UPDATE command for 5+ minutes. I can see this occur in SQL Profiler. This is a one row UPDATE statement on a small table (~600 rows). There are no JOINs or sub queries. There are no other users using the system. During this 5+ minutes, I can see the job in Enterprise Manager with a wait type of NETWORKIO. Since both IIS And SQL Server are running on the same system, the network shouldn't be an issue. Any ideas?

I'm writing a small vbscript to backup a db and some related files, so I used a WSShell calling OSQL to run a Sql BACKUP command, then after it's finished I XCOPY the resulting file plus some other related files. But the problem is that OSQL ends it's execution as soon as the BACKUP command is sent to SqlServer, not when the backup itself ends.
Anyone knows how to synchronize the two? How to wait, inside OSLQ, for the end of the BACKUP execution?
TIA

Hi,
I have a data-flow-task that imports data to sqlserver.
Now I want to check, if a special column of an imported record is null.
If yes, I have to wait 10 minutes and jump to the data-flow-task again. (Cjeck and wait).
How can I do this with the integration services?
Thanks

We have a few SSIS jobs that we are currently manually kicking off after we are sure that certain AS400 jobs have run. We want to completely automate this process, so that we don't have to babysit. What is the most efficient way to do this? In the past (on SQL Server 7 no less) I've seen the 400 job setting a flag to 'Y' in a 400 file, FTPing it down to a flat file, and then the SQL job running every five minutes checking the flag. When it was 'Y', the SQL job would run. We do not have the option of using FTP here. Any suggestions would be appreciated! After the job runs, we'd like it to kick off a report as well

So, I'm fairly new to SQL, and I'm working with a SQL2k5 Database with pre-made packages and what-not. This database was setup before I started this job, and now I'm trying to improve part of the processing in SQL, and so far so good, but I can't figure a couple things out.
The main problem is when I start a SQL command to launch a DTS package from a .sql file, how can I make it wait for the package to complete or fail before moving onto the next part of the .sql script? Hope it's a simple question, I've just taught myself enough SQL to get by in a couple of weeks.
Thanks!

Good morning,
I will start off with the default warning message: I am a beginner. That said, I have an SSIS process that calls an external executable to transform a data file through a homegrown C program. (This will eventually be converted, but for the moment needs to remain.) The end of the run creates a *.done file. How do I use the SSIS tasks to pause/wait, checking periodically, for the existence of this file before continuing with processing tasks? I apologize if this is easy, but I am stumped.
Thanks in advance,
Roger

CXPACKET wait type current makes up 63% of all the wait types which is causing latency. I need to identify the specific workloads responsible for waits so I can optimise or MAXDOP them. I already know how to retreived the top IO, CPU, Memory consuming queries but how do I identify the statements and order them by wait time?
Can someone point me in the direction of a command, DMV or will the top CPU list be adequate?
Thanks
