Databases Starting Up In Read-only Mode.
Jul 25, 2000
Hi,
About a month ago, a couple of our databases started up in read-only mode for some reason. I am the new DBA on the job, and the error logs from a month ago are not present.
I was wondering if anyone has had a problem where a SQLServer 7.0 database did this to them? We restart our DBs each day using scripts, so it is odd that this happens only intermittently (no one has seen a pattern at this point).
Any information would be muc appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe

I have hit a problem while trying to re-start the server in Single User Mode in order to restore the master database. I run the command sqlservr -m and it locks after the 'non-unicode character set' line each time.
Is there anyone who knows anything about this? Have I missed something or is it a bug? I have researched quite a few books and haven't found any reference to this problem.

Hi all,
I've been handed a SQL Server that is used as an MIS source. There are 4 databases that carry out the task of importing data from various sources, then manipulting that data, and offering the data for reporting purposes.
The vendor has also created several other databases (of which there are also 4), but no-one in my company seems to know the purpose of these dbs.
In the logs, there are approximately 8/9 messages per second - not every second, but numberous seconds per minute - stating....
Starting up database 'db_name'.
... each time, all 4 of the mysterious dbs appear.
I've checked the spid that is running this job this morning, and it seems to be NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM connected to one of the original 4 report databases.
Does this have any affect on the performance of the server, or the specific db attached to the user?
Thanks in advance.
Duncan

I posted this as a reply to another thread but then noticed it was marked as 'Answered' so i figured I'll create a new one.
This is a known issue (i guess) that you need to have write access to the database your connecting to but I actually want to know how to connect to a database with read only permissions. This should not be that rare of a case where you only want to read something without writting to it. I have a system where users can connect to other databases and "import" data from there but if the user doesn't have write access or the file is read only I get an exception.
Any idea how I can connect in read-only mode?
Thanks!

Hi,Version Info: SQLSERVER 2000 SP3I am trying to understand how SQL Server works with SERIALIZABLE read.I am fairly new to SQL Server, having mainly worked with Informix.We are getting lock timeout error in our application. Our lock timeoutis set to 20 seconds. I am trying to investigate why locks are held forsuch a long time in the first place.I believe SQLServer tries to put keylocks as much as possible forensuring serializibility. For e.g.SELECT column_bfrom table_awhere column_c between 1000 and 1100what if column_c has no index. Does it switch over the data row.And what if a table has no index. Will it go for table lock, as ituse to do in earlier versions.TIA.--email id is bogus

Hi,
I have made setup of my program,
I need to attach a db to the server. To do this:
- Copy mdf and ldf files into default data folder of instance of sqlexpress
- run scrip from custom action in the installer that:
a. attach the db
b. create login
c. create user for login in db
There is a problem...I run script slq file by sqlcmd and launch it from a c# process.
The rusult is that the db was attacched but in only read mode, and the point c not work.
If I execute manually the same script sql with sqlcmd in dos window, it work without problem in all point: a,b and c
What are the reason of this?
I think that start process in c# not work correctly....this is the code:
process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "sqlcmd.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = commandLine;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
help me, plese!
thanks in advance

we are about to start a logshipping with the secondary server in read only mode.
I just wanted to know the disadvantages of using a read only on the secondary server.
I mean whether the transactional logs will be restored periodically or it won't be restored till users are connected on the secondary server.

Hi
What are the pros and cons of putting the system databases in full recovery mode
I am asked by my manager to keep everything simple and uniform.We have all the user databases in Full recovery mode and he wants all the system databases as well to be full recovery mode.
I would like to get the points where in i can argue that, there is no point in having the system databases in full recovery mode.Unfortunately i dont see anything related to this in BOL or internet.
Plz help
Thanks

We have a client with several databases in read-only mode. When we try and take the dbs out of read-only, we get the path to the mdf files may be incorrect, which they are not. SQL 2000, SP3a. Has anybody seen this? The files themselves are not read-only, I gave the network services account full control and still nothing. The issue started when the client lost power, lasst week, the dbs came up suspect. Detach/Attach brought them back up in single user.
Any hep is appreciated.

Hi,
How can I provide a user read only access to all the databases on the server. I have 15 databases on the server. I know I can give db_datareader access in each database individually but that is time consuming and I have 10 servers for this to be done.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I was reading that many of these high traffic websites actually have 2 databases, 1 database is used ONLY for reads, while the other is for writes.
How does one go about creating such a setup? How does the database where writes are allowed replicated the data to the read only database server?

We have several read-only nodes in our AlwaysOn cluster, which are set to use Synchronous-commit mode, which ensures that the logs are updated on the read-only nodes before any update statements complete. Even with this option, if we query a read-only node before the logs have been processed, we can read old data. I would like to know a strategy to ensure that a read-only query will definitely return up to date information. I had an idea that if I just used a different transaction type, like Serializable, that it might block the read-only query from actually getting the data until after the log file was processed, but I have not tried it, yet.
I would like to move more queries to the read-only nodes, in an effort to offload CPU utilization from the primary node.

When our rep distribution services time-out (several times a day) some dba's just restart the service while others restart the rep job which starts the service. Are there any differences between these two methods? Does restarting the service inherit any changes made to the job's attributes?
Thanks!

Hello,everyone!!
There is a query which when executed in the grid mode(ctrl+d) takes approx 0.02 seconds(about 21,000
rows) But when I execute in the text mode, it takes about 0.40 seconds!!
Why is this difference?
Also, when the records from this table are read from a VB application, they are equally slow (as in the text mode!)
Why is it so slow on the text mode & relatively faster in the grid mode?
Has anyone got any idea on ‘Firehose’ style cursor ?(which may speed up access of data in the VB application)
Rgds,
Adie

Hi,
Currently, our Report Builder is running on Local Intranet mode. I'm investigating what the security implications are in changing it to Internet mode. However, I've not been able to find any documentation on this.
Does anyone know of any documentation that addresses this issue or have experience that they can share with changing Report Builder security zone from Intranet mode to Internet mode?
Thanks very much.

Hi folks,
I have a SQL 2005 OTC. CTP version running on Windows 2003 server.
I would like to find out how the SQL server option changed to Windows Authentication mode from Mixed mode over the weekend. From the SQL log, I don't see when it changed. I would like to see Date/Time and client IP. If I can see User ID (windows) that would be great. Where I can find these info in SQL server?
Thank you in advance...
