in sql server (re)start where does it find the location of Master.mdf file .
In Oracle, there is control file where the location of *.dbf file is stored and Instance find the location of dbf file from that location
In sql server where it finds the location of Databases as master, msdb etc..
database : MS SQL server ver 6.50.201
problem: server startup / server time out
details
SQL server shows usage of 100 % CPU utilization, if started automatically / manually. and does not proceed / hangs up(server time out), but win nt operates extremely slow.
The background of the situation in brief is as stated below.
The errorlog was found to have the messages
warning : OPEN OBJECTS parameter may be too low.
Attempt was made to free up descriptors in localdes()
Run sp_configure to increase parameter value.
Error : 644, severity : 21, state; state 1
the non clustered leaf row entry for page 2 row 1 was not found in index page 40 indexid 2 database 'tempdb'
Error : 2620 severity 21 state 3
the offset of the row number at offset 32 does not match the entry in the offset table of the follwoing page : page pointer = 0x1395800, page no= 40, status = 0x2, objectid = 1, indexid = 2
Action taken
I used the sp_option to increase the open objects from default 500 to 1000, and the LE threshold maximum value to 400 from the default 200.
after which I used reconfigure go and restarted the computer to take the effect. The following did work fine and server was working ok. But then from yesterday I am having the problem that the MS SQL sever is utilizing the cpu to 98 - 99 % and I am not able to connect to the server.
I tried to start the server with the minimal configuration by specifying the -f option in the service manager start up options, it showed the following message
00/12/07 10:40:49.73 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
00/12/07 10:40:50.02 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
afterwhich I tried with the option of starting the sql server with the option -c -f
which in the event detail of the win nt shows
"mesg 18109: Recovery dbid 6 ckpt(55813,8) oldest tras= (55813,0)"
The open procedure for service "MSSQLServer" in DLL "SQLCTR60.DLL" has taken longer than the established wait time to complete. The wait time in milliseconds is shown in the data.

Hi, I'd like to create a trigger to fire it when database starts up. Is there any way to do it? If yes, would you be able to provide me with an example?

While trying to move the tempdb log file to a different disk, I mistakenly executed the following and then stopped and restarted SQL Server.
USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE
(NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'L:MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLData emplog.ldf')
GO
Now I can't start SQL Server and see this error in the log files:
[code]
2015-08-10 15:28:42.55 spid7s Error: 5171, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2015-08-10 15:28:42.55 spid7s L:MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLData emplog.ldf is not a primary database file.

2015-08-10 15:28:42.55 spid7s CREATE DATABASE failed.
Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.

I did not have remote connections enabled yet, so the resolutions I have found that include sqlcmd or starting in single user configuration are not working. Any way that might allow me to restore the usual tempdb settings, which I think would allow SQL to start again?
Hello,
is there a way to find out that SQL Server 2005 (Express) engine is performing startup checked of a selected database?
The problem we are faced to is that our users shutdown brutally their laptops running their database. When they start laptops again, they impatiently start the application that tries to connect to the database. However, they get an error message:
Cannot open database XXXXX requested by the login. The login failed.
When they try after a minute or two, it works.
What we would like to do is provide an information message that the SQL server is checking the database and that they must wait for a while. Is there is a specific error code for this, can anyone help? We are using .NET 2.0.
Thank you,
Jan

Hi,
I'm from Argentina, I'm running SQL Server 2005 Express. I can connect to SQL Server via Management Studio and see all my db but I don't have acces to them !!
The system gives me the following error when trying to expand all folders:
Database 4 cannot be autostarted during server shutdown or startup. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 904)
Any ideas??

We have a STD SQL2000 with 2GB memory, which has around 800 databases and is planed to have 1500 databases.
From Microsoft Knowledge Base Q316749, <<By using the -g startup parameter, you can instruct SQL Server to leave additional virtual memory available so that the combination of these log-related allocations and other normal allocations does not run out of virtual address space.>>
but we are not quite sure the correct sytax, so we added -g392 and -g 392 as two new startup parameters. After reboot, in the error log, "initdata: Warning: could not set working set size to 765696 KB.
1. Is this a good way to increase the virtural memory?
2. which system table contains the -g value? and how to fix this error?
thanks

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have two pages on a particular website that are data driven by SqlExpress. The site is in the testing stages, so there is very traffic on the site at this point. The very first time that a data driven page is accessed, the response time is approximately 30 seconds. After that, the response on the data driven pages seems normal. The data queried is no more that 30 or 40 records.
I did see the "slow startup from idle" thread on this forum - that thread suggested changing from user instances, but that's not an option here.
My hosting service requires that I specify user instances in my connection string. Is this just something that I'm going to have to live with, or is there any way to speed up this SqlExpress "start up"?

Running SQL2000/SP2. DB has approx. 750,000 rows in main table - 500 MB content. Db is set To Truncate on Checkpoint, so no Log file to speak of - ever. System is 667 Mhz PIII with 512 Mb Ram. Disk are ATA133.OS is W2k Server-SP3. Anonaly happens at System startup. Db is coupled with automatic data collection software for manufacturing. It is taking DB longer and longer to "catchup" after each boot. Pref Counters show main problem is Disk Read Queue Length. (CPU % doesn't exceed 40%, normally 7% - SQL was given 1/2 RAM - 256 MB). If Data Collection is not started, DB comes up rapidly (it seems), but manual test inserts show high - protracted disk activity, but tests don't fail, just run slow. After a number of test inserts (7 - 12+), log jam breaks and the processing time drops from 1.5 Minutes to the normal 15-20 Milliseconds!. Similar action is seen with Data collection software running at boot. By design, the Data collection software buffers all inputs to the DB, so no loss, but the disk thrashing is disconcerting. This type of problem is not seen during normal operation (system is closely watched by automated scripts). Main table is routinely reindexed and fragmentation is tracked (never gets above 5% fragmentation). No table is 'pinned' in RAM.
Hints, allegations, and out-right lies glady accepted!

So how do I do that?
All I see that relates to the SQL Server 2005 is under All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools; I have a configuration manager, Error and Usage Reporting, and Surface Area Configuration.

I would like to enter info into the startup service account so that the MS

Hi,
Is there any way to use different email accounts for sql mail dynamically on sql server 2000?
Here is the problem:
My sql server is configured to start mail session under account 'xxnotifyxx'.
There are many jobs scheduled to run queries and send out emails to different user groups within the company as well as outside the company from 'xxnotifyxx' as a sender.
However, one of the usergroup within the company is asking for sending out their emails ( from scheduled tasks that uses xp_sendmail ) using 'publishergroup' as a sender.
As far as I know, this is not possible (sql server 2000, exchange 2000 client win2000 ) until I change the mail session configuration to start under 'publishergroup' in stead of 'xxnotifyxx'. If I do this, 9 other groups have problems with this.
Is there a work around for this kind of situation?
Thanks,
Shaili

I have the following stored procedure set up as a startup procedure in the master database. I was lead to it from a microsoft SQL server news group and I have found that it is very helpful. I have been told, though, that it only runs on the master database at startup, but I need it to run for all of the databases on my server. (I'm a newbie and can't follow the code myself). How can this stored proc be modified so that it runs on all of the databases on my server at startup.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm new to SQL Server....running SQL Server 2000. Had to move the system database logs to a different drive. Used EM, Server properties, Startup parameters. Changed the transaction log designation. Closed that window. Stopped the server.
Server won't start as I messed up and did not include the file name in the new designated path....just down to directory level.
From what I've seen, I have to be able to start the server service to change the parameters and the server won't start.
Is there a file that contains these parameters I may edit or should I try using the command line options.
Many thanks in advance.
how do I schedule a batch file I've created to run at the startup of the server? Windows 2003 server.

View 8 Replies View Relatedthe system i'm running is a windows 2003 sp2 r2 dc with sql server 2005 sp2 installed
i get the follow error in the event id logs regarding a few of the sql server nt services
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service to connect
i already tried to set the registry values for ServicesPipeTimeout to 60000 thinking this should solve the problem...
however the event id errors still persist and say that 30000 is the timeout value...
how can i make it so that the start time is either delayed or the timeout value is increased?
currently my only workaround is to manually restart the services
In the SP1 update of SSIS there was a call from the SSIS service that would attempt to validate itself against the http://crl.microsoft.com web site. If the SSIS service didn't have access to the internet then it would timeout and not start the service. In our company we have our development systems behind a firewall which only allows for limited internet access due to it being a development system.
Does the installation of SP2 remove this authentication restriction?
