I have been trying to change the location of the SQL 2005 error log. It's logging to the default location at
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOG
I want to move the log location to the E drive because it can get quite large. I already changed the setting in the SQL Server Error and Usage config tool, but this did not seem to make a difference.
I added a secondary data file to TEMPdb yesterday and gave it a wrong location by mistake. If I try to change the location, then I am getting an error now. I think that is because TEMPdb is in use and that is why I cant change it's secondary file's location. Do I need to take TempDB offline and then change the secondary file's location??

These servers are in a cluster and are using multiple physcial RAW disk mappings from shared storage (SAN) for their shared disks within a VMware ESXi 5.1 cluster.I need migrate these SQL servers over to new infrastructure, in a new physical location. I tried using VMware converter to import the active member server in the SQL cluster, but I am receiving VSS errors when running the conversion. I can see that shadow copy is disabled on all the disks on the server.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have C,D,E drives on server. Data files will be on D and Log on E. My question is what is best practice for data and log files for system databases during sql server installation selection? Should they be on C drive along with SQL Server installation or D & E? If they should not be on C then what is the reason and what is benefit to move them on other drives.

Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64) Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200):
We are using SQLCMD to run DDL script on our product database in below order. That script has below content.
step # 1 - database collation change (case -sensitive) statement as very first statement of the script
step # 2 - Actual DDL SQL statements
step # 3 - database collation change back to original (case insensitive)
When we execute all above 3 steps in single script using SQLCMD on our test_server#1 , it is successful but when same is being implemented on test_ server#2 , it is failing.We ensured that there is no other user accessing the db and setting on both the server are all default/basic. Separating out all 3 steps in 3 different script working fine. This is only problem when we combine them into single script and fire it using SQLCMD. If it is something related to session/transaction then we should hit same issue on our test_server#1 server as well but that is not the case.test_server#1 and test_server#2 has exact same database/data, just two different physical machine & SQL Server instance.

Hello
The default location where db's are created is almost full.
Is there any way to change the default location where the .mdf and .ldf are created when I create a new db? I know I can do this when I create a new db and go select where I want it to be, but can I make it default to a different directory automatically so no human intervention is needed?

In SQL2000, there's an option to change the location of the template folder. This allows me to create a customized set of templates on a network folder and have all the developers reference the centralized location. Can the same be done in SQL2005 and how would I go about doing so?
Thanks.
Is there a way to move my mdf and ldf files for the tempdb and the model databases? If yes, how? I tried ti detach but SQL Server will not let me.

our reporting services DB moved and I need to tell the report manager where to find it
isn't it in a config file somewhere, i can't find it?
do i have to reinstall?
If I can get around taking a few databases offline, I'd like to. I need to get logfiles on a lower-capacity drive.
Ideally, I wouldn't like to have multiple logfiles swimming around. But, I was thinking that if I created a second logfile, and then backed up the transaction log, I might be able to remove the first logfile?
The other thought I had, was creating a second logfile, and then turning off autogrow on the first log.
Maybe there is a better solution? Maybe neither of these will work?
Thoughts?

I have developed a SSIS package on my desktop and the package involves loading of XML data into a database. The XML does not have inline schema and I generated the XSD file from SSIS.
I used Derived Column and Data Conversion to load the data into the database.
Now, i want to migrate the package to a server. Now, when i change the path of the XML and XSD files, all the tasks show error such as
"Input column 'Last_Updated' (4433) has lineage id 3586 that was not previously used in data flow...."
Why is this so? I am using the same XML/XSD files after i moved to the server.
Please advice a fix for this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that has a matrix. That matrix can have from 2 to 16 columns dependinging on the dataset result. Right now I am forced to place this matrix on the left side of the report and make a column layout pretty narrow. When dataset has more than 13 or so columns it looks OK, but when dataset has only two or three columns it looks weird with a matrix sitting in the left corner with two or three narrow columns and a lot of empty space to the right.
Is it possible programmatically change the width of the columns depending on their number in the dataset?
Is it possible to move the location of the matrix (horizontally) depending on the number of columns in the dataset?
Thank you,
Simon.

SQL Server 2012R2 Express, I need to change db owner from Domain1User1 to Domain2User1.
Both SQL login Domain2User1 and db user Domain2User1 exist; db user Domain2User1 is mapped to SQL login
Domain2User1.
When I try to change db owner from Domain1User1 to Domain2User1
I get the error:
This article does not imply any restrictions on users that can be made db owners: [URL]....
"In SQL Server, the owner of the current database can be changed. Any user, a SQL Server login or Microsoft Windows user, who has access to connect to SQL Server can become the owner of a database."
Why can't I make the owner of a db an SQL login that have a mapped user in that db?
I have a problem upgrading a McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator which uses SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2. McAfee logs indicate that server names from SQL server and from McAfee installer does not match.It seems that the reason is that machine name was changed after SQL Server was installed.
MSDN instructions for sql server name changing give next commands to solve this problem:
SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name';
sp_dropserver <old_nameinstancename>;
GO
sp_addserver <new_nameinstancename>, local;
GO
But it didn't work for me, because "SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name'" shows correct (actual) name of sql server. So sp_dropserver says that there is now such instance.In the same time if I use this commands:
select serverproperty('MachineName')
select serverproperty('ServerName')
I get old (not actual) name.
epo-server is an actual computer name WIN-VUN5TSKAHG1 is an old name.
I am trying to change the default trace value from 2 to 6, to incorporate rollover and server shutdown. I am using this code to create a new trace (with id: 2) with the value of 6 and use that to overwrite the default trace (with id: 1):
DECLARE @new_trace_id INT;
EXECUTE master.dbo.sp_trace_create
@someinteger = @new_trace_id OUTPUT,
@someinteger = 6,
@someinteger = N'C: raceTestTrace';
Then I disable the default trace. I am then using this code to overwrite the default trace (with id: 1) and replace with new value default trace (with id: 2):
-- get trace status
SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_getinfo(NULL)
-- stop trace
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @traceid = 1
, @status = 0
go
-- delete trace
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @traceid = 1
, @status = 2
Then I enable the default trace. It works perfectly (default trace with id 1 is showing value 6) until I restart. Upon restart no default traces are enabled, once I run the script to enable the default trace then the values for the default trace (with id: 1) are back, and my value for rollover/server restart is back to 2.
We are experiencing authentication/ Kerberos issues after a password for the MSA's has changed. We use MSA for our SQL 2012 and windows 2012 combination Servers. This errors creates issues while backing up and Service Broker connectivity.We had to restart sql services to fix it, but this not seem to be a resolution for me because the next time the password changes on these MSA's we may have to restart sql services.There seems to be a known issue for windows 2008 R2 servers and fix is available and we incorporated it. But the issue we are facing is on windows 2012 Server.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are developing an application that requires change tracking.We tested it in development and test environments and we are preparing our production deployment.The very first thing that needs to be done is an
ALTER
DATABASE [db_name] SET
CHANGE_TRACKING =
ON (CHANGE_RETENTION
= 2 DAYS,
AUTO_CLEANUP =
ON)
We are holding on this first step because this statement alone executed for a good 4min on the development server. The production environment is many times larger and busier, and we can’t afford service disruption, so we are at the point where we need to understand what’s involved in running this ALTER DATABASE statement.Is there any documentation on what is happening behind the scene when this statement executes such that we can assess the risks of running it in production?

one of my SQL Developer member had one observation that, size of the parameter 'Parameter_XYZ' in certain stored procedure had changed from 25 to 255 during some production fixes, however suddenly its looks like that, someone has changed it back to 25 instead of 255.
DECLARE @Parameter_XYZ
varchar(25);
Can we figure out in which sprint/drop the stored procedure was changed and the Parameter_XYZ back to 25. Can any log recovery mechanism will get such details.
Can we get stored procedure text between different alteration.
In a change tracking enabled database I can find the latest change tracking version number by using
Select CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION() As Latest ChangeTrackingID.

Is it possible to change the default detection interval time to reduce to less than 5 seconds.
We have latency in trouble shooting the deadlocks and causing blockings more on our critical Production server.

We are going to use SQL Sever change tracking. The problem is that some of our tables, which are to be tracked, have no primary keys. There are only unique clustered indexes. The question is what is the best way to turn on change tracking for these tables in our circumstances.
