Hello,
I have been experiencing a lot of blocking activity in my database. My trace results show that the following extended stored procedures sp_prepexec and sp_cursorfetch are executed by both the user causing the block and the user tha is blocked. Any ideas as to how to rectify this situation will be appreciated.
Regards,
Albert
I have the following stored procedure to test scope of variables
alter proc updatePrereq
@pcntr int,
@pmax int
as
begin
[Code] ....
In the above script @i is declare in the if block only when the @pcntr value is 1. Assume the above stored procedure is called 5 times from this script
declare @z int
set @z = 1
declare @max int
set @max = 5
while @z <= @max
begin
exec dbo.updatePrereq @z, @max
set @z = @z + 1
end
go
As i said earlier `@i` variable exists only when `@pcntr` is `1`. Therefore when i call the stored procedure for the second time and so forth the control cannot enter the if block therefore @i variable wouldn't even exist. But the script prints the value in `@i` in each iteration, How comes this is possible should it throw an error saying `@i` variable does not exist when `@pcntr` values is greater than `1`?
have created a Database Application in Java and display all the records in tabular format of one Table. This table have Millions of Rows, If I run Select * from Table, then my Machine not responding, so Now I wants to add paging of 1000 rows at one time.
Is there are any option/query to read block of rows at one time and then query again for next page ?
i.e In MYSQL have LIMIT clause with Select Statement
Please let me know..
Database : SQL Server 2000/2005,
Thanks in Advance

Hi All:
Can anyone point out what's wrong with the following script? I wanted to print all the LOGFILE names in all databases which are not in SIMPLE recovery model. Thanks in advance.
Jim
USE masterDECLARE @db_name nvarchar(100), @log_name nvarchar(100);DECLARE DB_Cursor CURSOR FORselect name from msdb.sys.databases where recovery_model_desc <> 'SIMPLE';OPEN DB_Cursor FETCH NEXT FROM DB_Cursor INTO @db_name WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN USE @db_name -- Can I do this?

I am trying to add the hours between each time block stored in a database.
In this database a user enters the begin time and the end time. For example the course MATH0001 would start at 8am and end at 10am. Therefore the user would enter 0810 in the start field and 1000 in the end field. The course MATH0001 doesn't run the entire semester it may only run from 8th Jan - 15th March and the course is scheduled in a room called GR4. Now because a course can be scheduled modularly, one room could have several courses scheduled in this manner.
The problem: I need to find out how many hours GR4 is used but it contains the following courses
Code:
Schedule for room called GR4
Course StartDate EndDate BeginTime EndTime HoursPerClass
MATH0001 06-FEB-13 19-FEB-13 0810 1700 9
MATH0002 20-FEB-13 04-Mar-13 0810 1700 9
MATH0003 10-JAN-13 05-Feb-13 0810 1700 9
MATH0004 22-APR-13 17-May-13 0810 1700 9
MATH0005 08-MAR-13 21-APR-13 0810 1700 9
MATH0006 07-JAN-13 09-JAN-13 0910 1300 4
MATH0007 20-JAN-13 17-MAY-13 1710 2000 3
MATH0008 08-JAN-13 18-JAN-13 1710 2000 3
A day only has 13 hours. Therefore the total hours spent in GR4 should be 12 hours. This is calculated by adding the hours between 8am and 5pm = 9 hours and 5pm an 8pm = 3 hours. I would not include 9am to 1pm because it is a subset of the 8am to 5pm slot.
Now, how to accomplish this but below is the code that i have thus far:
I forgot to mention that this code was to just test my 'final code' results and it outputs the table shown above. Anyway for testing purposes I have limited the search to the room GR4 and the day Tuesdays.
Code:
select DISTINCT ssrmeet_room_code,
ssrmeet_start_date,
ssrmeet_end_date,
ssrmeet_crn,
ssrmeet_begin_time,
ssrmeet_end_time,
(((CAST(M.SSRMEET_END_TIME AS INT))-(CAST(M.SSRMEET_BEGIN_TIME AS INT)))+10)/100 As HoursPerClass,
[code]....
Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.
I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.
Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:
Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.
I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I've written a couple blocks but I have no idea when it comes to this one.
Create a PL/SQL block to retrieve the last name and department ID if each employee from the EMPLOYEES table
for those employees whose EMPLOYEE_ID is less than 114. From the values retreived from the employees table, populate two PL/SQL tables,
one to store the records of the employee last names and the other to store the records of their department IDs.
Using a loop, retreive the employee name information and salary infromation from the PL/SQL tables and doisplay it in the window,
using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. Display these details for the first 15 employees in the PL/SQL tables.
Any help helps
If I've got a 64-bit OS such as Windows XP Professional x64 Edition running and I have the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, is AES permittable or does TRIPLEDES still need to be used?

i'm trying to execute some sql using the Try.. Catch blocks.
Following code does not execute in Catch Block
Begin
begin try
insert into dbo.Test values (1,'aaa')
-- here we are inserting int value in identity field...
END TRY
Begin catch
PRINT 'TEST'
SELECT
ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber,
ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity,
ERROR_STATE() as ErrorState,
ERROR_PROCEDURE() as ErrorProcedure,
ERROR_LINE() as ErrorLine,
ERROR_MESSAGE() as ErrorMessage;

End
GO
Whereas the following block works fine and the Catch block executes.
Begin
begin try
Select 1/0
--This causes an error.
END TRY
Begin catch
PRINT 'TEST'
SELECT
ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber,
ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity,
ERROR_STATE() as ErrorState,
ERROR_PROCEDURE() as ErrorProcedure,
ERROR_LINE() as ErrorLine,
ERROR_MESSAGE() as ErrorMessage;

Any idea why is it so?
Can anyone guide me to write check block in SQL Server?
I Mean if blocking occurs, just inform people.
Hi there! I need such thing: I have a data in Table A. When I get this data, I also increment this data by one, what I want is block Table A in order to other people will not get access to data.. I think about transactions, but are transactions reaaly blocks a table's content?
P.S. For example in MySQL there are Lock table command for blocking table for reading/writing. I need such thing/
Thanks
Hi to everybody,
i have this problem.
sometimes a process in my SQL Server 2005 (upd 2) is blocked from itself. If I find in monitor it wait for a lock_M_Sch_M on a temporary table as you can see from
select * from sys.dm_tran_locks where request_session_id=51 and request_status <> 'GRANT'
resorce type : OBJECT
resource id : 218899226
request mode : Sch-M
request status WAIT
request_session id : 51
request life time : 33554432
or from
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks WHERE SESSION_ID=51
waiting task address : 0x0000000000C2F198
session id : 51
wait type : LCK_M_SCH_M
resource address : 0x0000000201C71300
blocking task address : 0x0000000000C2F198
blocking session id = 51
resource description objectlock lockPartition=0 objid=218899226 subresource=FULL dbid=2 id=lock80d04900 mode=Sch-S associatedObjectId=218899226
I resolve this problem only with restart of sql server . that clear tempdb and eliminate this process
I think is not a problem about latch present from sql server 2000 sp4 (I read some document abount this problem)
So I haven't idea how to resolve this problem and how to kill this kind of process without to restart sql server
thanks in advance

hi there,
to retrieve more then one record with a cursor we can use block cursor, so we have to set the cursor attribute SQL_ATTR_ROWSET_SIZE to some number...i am not getting any code example on this.
do anyone know this???
Hi:
one of our study group members noticed a strange behavior and has the following question. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I am unable to understand as to why the CATCH block is not executed when an INSERT is made
On table T3 which is dropped after the first transaction.
The severity of Insert into t3 values (3) is Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid object name 't3'.
BOL says TRY€¦CATCH constructs do not trap the following conditions:
Warnings or informational messages with a severity of 10 or lower.
Errors with severity of 20 or higher that terminate the SQL Server Database Engine task processing for the session. If an error occurs with severity of 20 or higher and the database connection is not disrupted, TRY€¦CATCH will handle the error.
Here is the script.
use tempdb
go
create table t1 (a int)
create table t2 (b int)
create table t3 (c int)
Begin tran
Insert into t1 values (1)
Insert into t2 values (2)
Insert into t3 values (3)
IF @@error <> 0
Rollback tran
else
commit tran
-------------------------------------------------------------
Select * from t1
Select * from t2
Select * from t3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Drop table t3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Set xact_abort on
Begin try
Begin tran insertNow
Insert into t1 values (1)
Insert into t2 values (2)
save tran insertNow
Insert into t3 values (3)
commit tran insertNow
End try
Begin Catch
IF (XACT_STATE()) = -1
BEGIN
PRINT 'The transaction is in an uncommittable state.' +
' Rolling back transaction.'
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION insertNow

IF (XACT_STATE()) = 1

Hi all,
here my question :
I have 2 applications.
connection 1.
one does select max(grp) from orv and one does select max(grp) from orh. orh is the historical file from orv. We did this to know which is the greather grp between these 2 files.
After having did this, we add 1 at grp field.
we insert into orv the record max(grp) + 1
connection 2.
an other application could insert at the same time record in this table orv with same parameters.
my problem is the following. I need to block record in orv table either on the select ( connection 1) or Insert ( connection 2) to avoid having select max(grp) + 1 on orv at connection 1 and Insert a record into orv at connection 2.
I believe I need to use HOLDLOCK, UPDLOCK.
but I have not the habitude to use them.
Can I do this ?
connection 1
select max(grp) from orv WITH HOLDLOCK
connection 2
what should I use to avoid lock when I need to insert into orv. ?
thanks for your quick answer

There are a lot of Access and Excel tables linked to my SQL Server (SQL2K SP3 on W2K). The end users update those likned tables. I am wondering if there is the block problem. If yes, how to prevent that? Thanks.

hi,
i've performed a test on 2 machines based on the topic above, but it doesn't seem like blocking each other... This is the context...
I've created a table call TEST_DEL i.e.
quote:CREATE TABLE test_del
(v_id INT,
desc CHAR(3)
)
In machine 1, i'm login as USER 1 and try to insert a set of records into the table
quote:
Machine 1
~~~~
BEGIN
DECLARE @li_num int,
@li_start int
SET @li_num = 100000
SET @li_start = 1
WHILE @li_start < @li_num
BEGIN
INSERT INTO test_del VALUES (@li_start, 'zzz', 'xxx')
IF (@li_start > @li_num)
BREAK
ELSE
SET @li_start = @li_start + 1
CONTINUE
END
END
In machine 2, i login in as USER 2 to retrieve the records at the same time...
quote:
SELECT * FROM test_del
but, the system still allow me to retrieve the records at the same time... May i know when will "Writer block reader, reader block writer" occur and in what situation
Thanks in advance
Can anyone give a template for a stored procedure which involves a transaction and has a TRY CATCH block too...
Thanks in advance.
I am writing some code generation stuff and I am trying to get a scriptlike this to work:IF (something)BEGINCREATE PROCEDURE WhateverASSELECT 1 as oneENDBut it complains about this, so I am guessing that I can't put thecreate prodcedure in an IF block.Does anyone know of a work around for this?

I have a job that has several steps.
One of the steps is of type T-SQL. I have an IF...ELSE block in it. If the if statement is true...perform an action.
Else exit from the job reporting failure.
I would like to know what sql stmts should i use to exit from the job (in the ELSE block)
I tried to use EXIT in the else stmt but it is not exiting from the job step.
Thanks in advance
I'm working on a stored procedure which includes an IF statement at the end of the procedure which appends my sql call with two lines. But I'm getting an error that probably comes from the fact that I have a nested BEGIN END block in my overall procedure. Can anyone tell me if my assumption is correct and help polish of the syntax?

2. Also part of the new query, not only do I want it to match the siteref, I also want it to only match the mm/yyyy of the parameter entered (src_terrier.datadate = @dt_src_date) in the WHERE statement.
Is that any simpler?

Help! On my desktop some security warning came up and my friend clicked "ok" when it said "block". Apparently it was warning her that internet explorer was trying to contact the internet. So...now internet explorer cannot display anything and it is the only browser I have on my computer. I am so frustrated I can't figure out what on earth I can change to fix this. Please...someone help me figure out why I can't contact the internet? My internet connection is fine, and the troubleshooting feature in explorer keeps telling me so.

Is there any way to clear out the exception from a previous Try/Catch block if I am nesting another Try/Catch block within it. I am executing a SQL Command and based on the Error number coming back decide whether or not to execute various other Sql commands. Now the Outer exception seems to be taking precedence over the Inner try block, and even though the code is stepped through for the inner try block it is never executed due to the Parent Exception. Is there any way to clear the exception received from the outer Try block? Here is a snippet of code:
Try
Cmd = New SqlCommand(Sql, Con)
Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch t as SqlException
if t.Number = "2601" then
sql_upd = "<Text>"
Try
Cmd_upd = New SqlCommand(Sql_upd, Con)

Catch b as Exception

Hi all -
is there a way to process a file x records at a time?
We have a table that I need to append to an existing table. The date columns are currently in char but must be converted to datetime for the existing table. The problem is I have bad data. There are 3 million rows where the date field isn't valid for SQL's datetime format. Since this is the data I have, I have to work with it. I would like for SQL to just insert a null if it comes upon a bad date. Currently when it encounters a field that isn't valid, it stops the process with an error.
I have tried to go around it below, but there is still something "hanging" I would like to be able just to insert one million rows at a time and if it errors, then I can look at the next million, find the error, fix it and continue on.
Any suggestions? Or if you have a better idea all together I would love to see it.

Create Proc sp_test

Declare @i int=0
Declare @Count int=(Select count(*) from Total)
while(@i<@Count)
[code]....
In the above code Total is a table that has employee name and its department ID and row_number info.The above code should list all employee info that belongs to one DEpt.but after I placed a try catch block the select statement returns no records.If I removed the try catch block it behaves correct.For example If three records reside in the Total table for a certain DeptID.
I expect the outPut will be
