DB Engine :: Keeping Procedures In Sync Across Different Servers?
Oct 11, 2015
Last night we had a problem caused by a stored proc being deployed to only one server rather than two. I want a way to ensure that we can automatically run on a schedule a check to ensure that the 2 procs on 2 servers are the same.
I need a less robust solution that I implement tomorrow that doesn't involve buying third party tools and a more robust long term strategy that could if need make use of third party tools.

This may not be a MSSQL-specific question, butI wanted to ask it here first, in case there'sa MSSQL and/or SourceSafe solution that will help.Our dev team is having some difficulty withkeeping the nightly builds in sync with thestored proc mods. I'm wondering if there aresome good case studies on how to avoid this"drift". Something like genning a new DB fromchecked-in SPs, etc. alongside each regular build,then always have a paired enterprise app/databaseduo that is tagged and added to a history.FWIW, we have a 3-tier .NET/C# app, andADO.NET is throwing exceptions every otherday.If the suggestion is to whip the DB guys, thatworks for me as well. ;-)Nah, there's much love there.Thanks in advance,~swooz

I have clustered instance with two (2) data drives on it. Drive J has around 50 databases on it and drive K has about 15. One of the system administrators was trying to increase the size on KÂ by 20 GB and he instead increased it by 200. Now he needs to take the accidental 180 GB back but the drive will need to come offline briefly. Is it possible to take the KÂ drive offline, along with the databases whose data files resides on it, without taking the whole instance down?

Hi,
Im fairly new to this so apologies if Ive put this in the wrong place.
I have just rented out server for a new asp.net site. Ive been developing the site on my local machine and the database in Sql Enterprise. Ive recently put a copy of the site on the live server and got everything configured.
However everytime I make a change to my local database, or add values into my look up tables I have to go do the same on the live server and its proving a bit of a pain in the ass, so Im guessing there has got to be a much smarter way of doing this. I dont want (if possible) to open up the live sql server to allow remote connections, but if thats what neccesary so be it.
So my question is basically what are my options for keeping my live server up to date with my development server. As I add new features on my local server, should i be saving sql scripts of all the changes I make?
All opinions much appreciated.

I have two db instances on different SQL Servers. One is my test db and the other the prod. db. Each has two tables that hold lookUp values for the entire application. I would like to keep these tables in sync. in both dbs. The prod. db would be the master. I was trying to design a trigger to insert, update, or delete the appropriate records in the test db as they were added or deleted from the prod db.
I'm getting too many prefixes errors on the script when trying to reference the table on the test db using four part naming convention.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Do I need to set up a linked server to accomplish this functionality? If so, how do I setup security for a linked server?
Thanks in advance.

I have 2 server PROD n DR server all the PROD server DB is synched to DR server through log shipping. Now to chk whether the DR server is working or not in case of any disaster we shut down the PROD server now all the app request is handled by DR server,it is working fine. For 1 week we work in DR server now its time to move back to PROD server so that all the 1 week data in DR server should be replicate back to PROD server. Log shipping is deleted once the DR Server is up. What r the options other than Backup? It is SQL 2012

Ok..here is my problem. I have two SQL servers that I need to haveidentical, at least semi-real time data on. One is in a public DMZwith full access to and from the internet, and one is behind acorporate firewall and the box can get out to the internet but cannotbe hit directly from the internet in. The two are on seperatenetworks and cannot be connected via lan. Is there a way for me tohave semi-real time data transfers between the two to keep bothservers identical? I have thought that the server behind the firewallcould initiate an XML session with my dmz sql server and processupdates, but I am unfamiliar with how it would know what has changedon the remote server and how the remote server would know what haschanged on the server behind the corporate firewall. Any good ideas?ThanksDan Hirsch

Hi everyone
I have just starting creating some stored procedures for our system and have a question related to management of these.
When using input parameters using the following syntax:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_someInputProcedure
@Username as varchar(16)
@Password as varchar(12)
@Name as varchar(50)
@Address as varchar(60)
@Zip as int
@City as varchar(30)
...
etc.
This is all well and good, but what if I make a change in the datamodel - for instance changing a datatype or the length of a varchar - do I need to remember to manually update all stored procedures that uses these columns/variables?
Seems like a bit of a hazzle. Is there an easier way to do this?
Many thanks,
Stian Danielsen

I have installed SQL 2012 on my DB Server. The SSRS database version table(s) list the current version as 163. The Version number that's displayed in the Programs and Features for SSRS Add-in for SharePoint (yes, on the db server) is 11.2.5623.0.
On my two SharePoint servers the version number for SSRS Add-in for SharePoint shows 11.2.2058. I have installed SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 on all three machines. When the SharePoint box calls into SSRS to render a report I get this error:
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '163'. The expected version is '162'. --->
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.InvalidReportServerDatabaseException:
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '163'. The expected version is '162'.
what else I need to install - and where - to correct this error. What is expecting version '162' and why?

I'm collecting performance data via DMV to check the buffer hit ratio on several servers. Sometimes I get values high above 100% hit Ratio.
Example (50050%):

I have a user who is trying to run a job (call an Stored Procedure) which connects to a Linked Server. He can run it OK using EXEC SP_Name but when he runs from the SQL Jobs it gives him the error:Â Linked servers cannot be used under impersonation without a mapping for the impersonated login.[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7437). Â The step failed.The Linked Server was setup using another account. Would this be fixed if I add the new user to the Security section of Linked Server without breaking the current configuration?Â

I have 4 servers, 2 each for application (Dev & Prod)
DEV 1 & DEV 2 are standalone serversÂ
Prod 1 & Prod 2 are Windows Clustered Servers.
From one application to other we do Distributed transactions. Dev 1 - Dev 2 or Dev 2 - Dev 1 can start DTC and working fine,but issue comes when Prod 1 - Prod 2 or Prod 2 - Prod 1. I get error message OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "xyz" returned message "No transaction is active.".
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "xyz" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
I have tested Dev 1 - Prod 1, Dev 1 - Prod 2, Dev 2 - Prod 1, Dev 2 - Prod 2 everything is working fine only Production servers are causing issue.
I enabled all settings needed for DTC on Cluster MSDTC service but no luck.

I am following website link:
[URL]
I require to gather status details about all the SQL Agent jobs in the environment on multiple SQL Servers.
I tried to edit the script using:
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO")
$sqlServerName = 'localhostdeveloper'
 $sqlServer = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server($sqlServerName)
 foreach($job in $sqlServer.JobServer.Jobs)
{
$job | select Name, OwnerLoginName, IsEnabled, LastRunDate, LastRunOutcome, DateCReated, DateLastModified
}
but SQL Agent jobs are not reflecting in the mail output...

I'm using reporting services to build a report and I plan on using a stored procedure to gather my data for the report. My question is:
I know it's possible to call a stored procedure from a stored procedure, both within the same dB and in different dB's, but is it possible to call a SP that's on a different server? My gut says "definitely not. at least not easily." But I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on this before I pursue a different course of action.

I've been trying to copy tables from a linked server to a SQL ServerExpress database. Express seems to have no direct/automatic way to doit, so I've been looking into doing this by hand (i.e., with a T-SQLprocedure).I've discovered some system stored procedures that seem relevant (likesp_tables_ex and sp_columns_ex). But they're procedures, nottable-valued functions, so I'm not sure if I can actually do anythingwith the data they return.If I could get to the data, I thought maybe I could use a cusor and awhile loop to recreate the tables in Express.Is this crazy?Really could use some advice on this.Thanks,-Dan

1). When you right click stored procedure in the Query Analyzer on 2000 you can select debug from the list of menues.
I can't find this functionality in the SQL Server Management studio.
2). By the way I also can't find where went the output of my print statement.
3). Does server cursor functionality is still working in 2k5?

I have a strange situation when I try to execute the same Stored Procedure on servers with different processors. Both servers are running the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 version with all updates.
All updates bios, disk controller, firmware, were applied on the new server.
New Server: (considerable difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 02:16hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 08:00hs
Â
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.60GHz E5-2697 v3
Â
Old Server: (There Are No difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
Â
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.7GHz E5-2697 V2
In terms of configuration, the server 2, have lower technology, lower bus, lower number of processors.
I believe that combination of Hardware/SO/Sql Server has a potential performance loss when running encrypted SP.

I have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.
We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.
When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.
When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.
I need help in determining where I even begin with trouble shooting this!

SQl7, sp3, NT4
How do I keep th job history of a job, say if I re-create the job?
We recreate the jobs often as part of a code move, but I'd like to retain the history of the previous jobs?
** sp_help_jobhistory -- only shows the jobs that exist, and not old jobs that no longer reside on the server.
Thanks,

Hi all, here are my goals: Have the same DB on two different stand-alone computers, and keep them up-to-date from each other.
Basically a user would input to a DB for a week. Then every week or two, update the other stand alone DB with the new input. The DB would be exactly the same.
What are my options for this? I'd like it as easy as possible! Are there any software packages that deal with this type of transfer, etc.? Thank you!

Hi, I have the following code in a query:
SELECT [Issue date],DATEDIFF("dd",[Issue date],[Start date])/365 AS runningdays
FROM Database1..[Insurance Policies Working DB]
WHERE [Policy Number] LIKE '%1368529%'
The part 'DATEDIFF("dd",[Issue date],[Start date])' comes out as 364 if calculated on its own. However, then when it is divided by 365 it comes out as 0. How do I get it to show as a decimal instead of just rounding it down automatically? (Hope I've made sense)
Thanks in advance

can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know – and I hate the idea btw :(
Any references, contacts, 3rd party tool recommendations welcome,
Thanx,
Darren

I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.
1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
------------------------------
And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".
OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)
If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

we have a simple table
Key, Name, Address, City, State, Zip ................ect
I would like to keep this table sorted by Name, theirfore I won't have to sort my results with every querry.
I think I need to add something to my insert to tell my table - "Hay take Jones", open up the prober place and stick him in the proper spot.
Ex: We have Appleby and Robertson in our table now. My insert would tell SQL Server to take Jones, figure our where he belongs (alpha), and stick him in, resulting in.
Appleby
Jones
Robertson
This way I wont have to as the querry to sort stuff every time I reference this table, this will save lots and lots of overhead. and help keep my clients happy with quick(er) response.
thanks in advance -arthur

Hi
We need to keep track of all changes that are made to our tables.
The changes will be saved in a table that records:
- the table in which the change was made
- the name of the field that was changed
- the old data for the field
- the new data for the field etc..
I've seen a few examples that record the name of the table that was
modified but none that record done to the field level.
Can anybody give some guidance?
Thanks..

I need to update a row but keep a lock on the table (so no one else can update it) while I do run some more code. In Oracle, it always locks whatever you update until you hit commit, but sql server works opposite. How do I tell it not to commit a statement, or how would I explicitly get a lock and then release it later?

I have a table that tracks invoices recieved and payments made.
For each invoice number there may be multiple payments made against it.
I need something that will check and make sure that each invoice number has its payments equal to its received amount.

Hello everyone,
I have a winform application with C# front end and sql express 05 backend.
In this database i have a table that holds manufacturer provided pricing and the manufacturers we work with update pricing constantly.
We have one table called "manufacturerpricing" which we are constantly inserting and deleting pricing records to/from to keep manufacturer pricing up to date. We may insert and delete as many as 2,000,000 records per month into this table.
This works perfectly fine and we have no problems here at all.
But with that being said, I am worried about the size of the database growing out of control due to temporary space etc. The database just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
How do I run some maintenance to keep the database size under control.
I would like to run this automatically from the C# front end so if ther is a stored proc I can call or an C# assembly I can reference that would be ideal.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'd like to keep state between calls to a UDF (mainly for caching purposes). I can shove an object into the appdomain using SetData and read it using GetData, but that requires the assembly to be set to UNSAFE. I'm confident I can secure the DB and the assembly fairly well, but I like defense in depth, and if there's another way to save state between calls to a UDF, I would prefer those.
Is there another way to store state between calls to a UDF, without putting data into DB tables or using things that will require the assembly to have such a wide permission set?
Thanks,
Alex
