How Can I Get Actual Operation Cost From Actual Execution Plan?
Jul 25, 2006I have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost.
Thanks!

DATEPART And DATENAME
Mar 30, 2008
Hi:
I am puzzled by the following:
If I execute "SELECT DATEPART(weekday, '20080330') as day_of_week", I get a result of 1 which makes sense since Sunday is usually considered the 1st day of the week.
However, if I execute "SELECT DATENAME(weekday, DATEPART(weekday, '20080330')" as day_of_week, I get a result of Tuesday!
Similarly, if I execute "SELECT DATENAME(weekday, 1) as day_of_week", I also get a result of Tuesday.
Can anyone explain what is happening here?

Sp_executesql, Actual Sql ?
Apr 11, 2006Hi Guys
I pick up the following in a profiler trace.
exec
sp_cursorexecute 197, @P1 output, @P2 output, @P3 output, @P4 output,
'PSRF_REPORTING_FOLDERS', 'Jan 1 1900 12:00:00:000AM'
Normally to find the actual sql that executes i go up in the trace until i find the relevant cursor prepare. In this case the one for 197 cursor prepare.
But this time around i cannot find it, these are app servers connected so for all i know the cursor could be prepared at 5am in the morning and re-used all day long.
Is there anyway (adding certain profiler events or something), so that i can see the actual statement held in the cursor ?
Thanx

How do I check what is the actual DB size that is currently being use?

Actual And Estimated Rows
Sep 15, 2006I have a stored procedure that will execute with less than 1,000 reads onetime (with a specified set of parameters), then with a different set ofparameters the procedure executes with close to 500,000 reads (according toProfiler).In comparing the execution plans, they are the same, except for the actualand estimated number of rows. When the proc runs with parameters that producereads that are less than 1,000 the actual and estimated number of rows equal1. When the proc runs with parameters that produce reads are near 500,000 theactual rows are approximately 85,000 and the estimated rows equal 1.Then I run:DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSDBCC FREEPROCCACHEIf I then reverse the order of execution by executing the procedure thatinitially executes with close to 500,000 reads first, the reads drop to lessthan 2,000. The execution plan shows the acutual number of rows equal to 1,and the estimated rows equal to 2.27. Then when I run the procedure thatinitially executed with less than 1,000 reads, it continues to run at lessthan 1,000 reads, and the actual number of rows is equal to 1 and theestimated rows equal to 2.27. When run in this order, there is consistency inthe actual and estimated number of rows and the reads for both executionswith differing parameters are within reason.Do I need to run DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS and DBCC FREEPROCCACHE on productionand then ensure that the procedure that ran close to 500,000 reads is runfirst to ensure the proper plan, as well as using a KEEP PLAN option? Or,what other options might you recommend?I am running SQL 2000 SP4.--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200609/1

Actual Physical File Size
Jun 21, 2004Hi Everybody,
I like to compute the actual physical database file size using queries.
From the EM database properties, the file size shown is not matching with the master..sysaltfiles.size
Ex. Actual file size is 12MB and 1MB for MDF & LDF respectively.
'sysaltfiles' shows 1464 & 96 resp. Since they are shoing it as 8K Pages,
96*8 = 768KB is not matching with 1024KB for the LDF file.
Is there any overheads (additional space from the physical file for file headers) allocated?
Thanks

Need To Know The Actual Size On The Tape Drive

I€™m using LTO3 tape drive (400GB) the used media is for LTO2, currently I€™m looking for LTO4(1.6TB) but I need the backward compatibility to support LTO3 tapes so I can go for LTO2 media or LTO3 media.
I need to know the size of the database backup (Ms SQL2005 SP1 x64-bit, on Ms Windows 2003 R2 x64-bit) on the tape drive. I can see the backup size of the database but not the size on the tape which is using hardware compression.

How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?
Jul 12, 2004Hello fellow .net developers,
In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

May 23, 2008I have gone through the table partitioning in MSDN, like Designing Partitions to Manage Subsets of Data . But how to do this in actual world, since some db need to partition for 7 days, then archive these days records on the 8th day, while other prefer 14 days/monthly, and run this repetitively for many years? If this is running weekly, how can i generate the scheme and function dynamically? What if ID for row count is not viable?
Sure this will not work:

My code is something like this:

temp_Int_EmpID = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.IDTSInputColumnCollection90.GetInputColumnByLineageID(Row.ErrorColumn)
Pls. let me know if it's possible to achieve what I require & if so, how.
Kindly reply at the earliest !
