Check Periodically If SQL Server Is Running
Aug 28, 2006
Hi,
I have my SQL server installed and running on a windows 2003 server. Sometimes, the server stops unexpectedly. I want to know if there is any mechanism to alert as and when the SQL server or SQL server agent goes down.
I guess everything is a windows service. Can we have a mechanism to test this service from a script and send an alert mail when the server goes down? How can this be done from a script?
Thanks in advance

for some filegroups, we are turning readwrite back on periodically to trickle some data into an archive. This lasts a few seconds and then we turn readonly back on. What is the impact of doing this while a query is running on the archive?

I have a stored procedure that references another stored procedure on a linked server. I would like to check if the linked server is running prior to accessing the stored procedure. Everything I have tried returns either message 11 or 17 and terminates the stored procedure. I would like to do some cleanup before the termination. Is there any way to check this?

Hi,
How to check if ftp/sftp server is running before actually starting the ftp/sftp taks? I tried the script task as shown in the attached link but it does not really check for ftp connection.

I am about designing an access project file that connect to a SQL Server database : it could be either on the local computer or a remote workstation, this depending on where the front end is running.
Bypassing the default log on dialog box i have set my own form that users should use to connect on adp. Then using baseconnection string i connect the adp to sql server database.
My concern is how can i check from vba if the instance of SQL Server where my back end database is located is running in order to make
users knowing that due sql server service status off their connection
tentative will fail.
inform u i can check same from console management however i would to automate same controle from my adp and avoid that users have to operate such task...

Hi All,
I have a long running procedure (batch job) which will take quite some time to complete. I need to run a fixed number (configurable value) of copies simultaneously, i.e., either two copies or three copies at a time. (I don't want to use Service Broker for this purporse now)
For this I need to know whether this procedure is currenly being executed, and how many copies. Now I'm maintaing a flag in a table where this will get updated once the procedure starts and ends. This is not 100% reliable and need a manual check occasionally.
I would like to know, whether there is an easier method to find whether this procedure is being executed currently ?
Hope you are clear with my requirement.
SQL Server Version : 2005
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Babu

Hello:
In order to eliminate all users who have been using the SA login, I would like to trap all users periodically who are logged in. We have changed the
sa password but just to monitor the login/userid usage, I have the following question:
1) how can I periodically write out to a log, which users are logged in to a given database at certain times of the day?
2) Which steps would I follow to do so?
Thanks.

I have a folder on an SFTP server in our internal network which gets flat files periodically (almost every minute) from another server. The file structure is like this:
Flat File Format•Line 1—List of field names comma separated •Line 2—List of field type comma separated •Line 3—Data comma separated •Line 4—Data comma separated and so on...
All the files will be like this without the .csv extention. There are a lot of fields and creating a column for each field manually will be a pain. Heres what I am trying to do:
1. Create a process that runs periodically on the server and imports data from files into the SQL server table.
2. Use the information in line 1 and 2 to create the schema of the table and then ignore those lines in every import (the data should be appended to the existing data).
What are my options?
Thank you all,Bullpit

Hi everyone, here is my situation and what I am hoping to accomplish.
I want some data from my msSQL to be seen on my website but I do not want a website to access the msSQL database due to performance etc (the database is not intended for website use).
Innitially I was thinking of exporting the data every 24hours to a text file that the website would access, but now I am thinking it would be better to have some data sent to a mySQL database that I have from my webhost.
I am not really sure what the best way to do this is, any help please?
thank a lot

I have a job that runs nightly, rebuild index. job runs fine every night but every few weeks it fails.
USE msdb
GO
EXECUTE dbo.IndexOptimize
@Databases = 'USER_DATABASES',
@FragmentationLow = NULL,
@FragmentationMedium = 'INDEX_REORGANIZE,INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
@FragmentationHigh = 'INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
@FragmentationLevel1 = 5,
@FragmentationLevel2 = 30,
@SortInTempdb = 'Y',
@UpdateStatistics = 'ALL',
@OnlyModifiedStatistics = 'Y'
This calls the Sp that does the Reindex. It fails at the update statistics with a very generic message. like " Command: UPDATE STATISTICS [xxxx_DB].[dbo].[xxxx_xxx] [_WA_Sys_00000007_49C3F6B7] [SQ... The step failed."
I suspect it has more error but this is all it is showing me when I right click on the job history. therefore, I updated the job step in the advance tab with log to a txt file. Am I on the right track or there is another way to see error some where else.
I looked at the logs but they didn't show any thing.

I have a table that has a primary key that is auto incremented by 1. This table's data is cleared out periodically and as data gets added the auto id primary key continues to increase in numeric value. Once the data is cleared from the table the auto id names could be used again(the eventId is not stored) Currently the eventID is at 26,581,399. I know the maximum int value is 2,147,483,647.
How should I handle this? or rebuild the table every time the data is cleared(problematically)?

We have a vendor who has an SSIS package that executes a DTS package. We've asked that they migrate the DTS code completely to SSIS, but that is something that will not be done in the near future. The package is scheduled to run every 5 minutes through a SQL Server scheduled job. 95% of the time the package executes without an error, but occassionally the following error is reported.
Date 10/2/2007 7:35:00 AM
Log Job History (Pyxis - Data Load)
Step ID 1
Server DEVSQL1V5
Job Name Pyxis - Data Load
Step Name Run SSIS Package
Duration 00:00:03
Sql Severity 0
Sql Message ID 0
Operator Emailed
Operator Net sent
Operator Paged
Retries Attempted 0
Message
Executed as user: Domain_NameSQLService. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was -1073741819. The step failed.
When I look at the DTS and SSIS package logs no errors are reported and each log indicates the package completed successfully.
Any ideas what this exit code is indicating or how to further troubleshoot the problem?
Thanks, Dave

We are running a SQL Server 2008R2 64-bit database system on a Windows 2012 R2 64-bit Standard system. I have noticed in recent weeks that our differential backups periodically are taking longer than expected to complete. The usual amount of time is about one hour, but on several occasions, it has taken upwards to five hours. The nights when the job takes longer to complete are on Friday.
I did some checking online, and one possible reason for this issue is my scheduling the reindexing of the database on the morning of the Differential backup. For example, this past Friday the reindexing occurred at 1:00 AM with the Differential running at 10:00 PM that night.The article that I read suggested the reindexing, which takes several minutes, if that, to complete, should be scheduled to run just before the Full backup job.

If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
