I'm starting to collect and develop some scripts that will tell me the health and welfare of my MSSQL 2k server. I have a few for blocks, db size, who is on and what they are currently running. I was wondering if you guys could share some of the scripts you guys use to watch the health of your servers.

Hi,
I have implemented health monitoring for my web-site, using the SQL provider.
Health monitoring works fine when the website is run from VS2005, using the built in web server, all the expected events are inserted into the aspnet database. However when I deploy the site onto IIS, no events are ever inserted into the database.
I would appreciate some help figuring out why this is happening! The code that implements the health monitoring in my web.config file is:1 <healthMonitoring
2 enabled="true"
3 heartbeatInterval="0">
4 <bufferModes>

6 <remove name="Analysis"/>

What all are the command , or what for should one look out to confirm if nothing is wrong with the DB & its the application that is creating a prob..
I mean command for checking the health of the DB.
Thanks,
Hey all
I am new here and fairly new to SQL server. And yes i have a question, that maybe dumb.
My boss wants me to reporting to him the health of the DB each week. So here are a few questions.
1. What really defines the "health" of a DB? What elements should I be reporting to him?
2. Is there any utilities out there that would be helpful or can SQL provide enough info?
3. I am using 2005 standard, so I have the shipped reports in summary page. But is this enough? and can I customize them?
Sorry I am having a hard time even asking the questions cause I am not really sure what to ask. Any help or pointing down t he correct path
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
jason

I want to run Profiler Traces, Perfmon Checks and whatever else to see what hits the server the hardest in order to work out where I can make performance improvements. We don't have any massive problems other than more timeouts than I would expect from web users no-and-then when they do pretty simple free-text searches. I just want to see if I can lighten the load on the server in general.
Where does a DBA get the most ROI? I don't want to drift into the realm of diminishing returns where I am making changes that have no noticeable impact.
What should I start measuring first and how do you measure it? (E.g. if I should monitor disk writes in Profiler, how many writes are too high for a statement? 100? If so, is one 100-write statement per hour OK but one 100-write statement per second is not OK?)
If there is already an article for this, my apologies. I'd be grateful if you can point me to it.
Is http://www.sql-server-performance.com/ a sufficient one-stop-shop for this question? If so, have you found some articles there to be more useful than others?
Hello,
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently I've installed Microsoft SQL Server Health and History Tool Version 2
and The SQLH2 Reports are a set of reports that provide different views on the data
that the tool collects. But unfortunately I can be able to see Data on Performone counters
Report. I can not find optional component SQLH2 Performance Collector is a stand-
alone service of Microsoft Windows that collects and stores performance counter data from
selected servers.
The Deployment guide tells :
Performance Collector is optional, and is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center (search for SQL Server with keyword SQLH2): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx
But it does not give result
Where can I find the missing component ?

Hi Everybody,
Can anybody tell me how to get the number of commands delivered per minute in case of Merge Replication with Publisher and subscribers.
This way, we can be sure that even if there is a latency (due to high volume transaction processing), replication is in good shape and things will catch up soon.
Also if there are any other similar measures which can be monitored to make sure that replication is going on fine, it would be great
Please let me know If anyone has got information on same.
Based on the description below on average how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the MSSQL Server databases?
Description of IT infrastructure.All Windows Servers and MSSQL Servers are up to date on patches and best practices.
Corporate site with 3 remote sites.
All remote sites have one DC and one MSSQL Server.
The corporate site has one MSSQL Server.
Replication is performed between the remote MSSQL databases and the corporate office MSSQL database.
There is no in-house DBA. All DBA services will have to be outsourced. I am trying to determine what is reasonable in budgeting for time involved for this service.
There is one project written in MS Access using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) with the backend residing on these database.
The question is on average approximately how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the health of the MSSQL Servers database by a MSSQL DBA. The DBA will not have to create any user reporting, queries, etc. Just maintain the existing MSSQL Servers database.
Suppose you have two (or more) tables with foreign key constraints. Myquestion is thus:Is it better to check if the fk exists before you try to perform theinsert or let SQL do it for you?On one hand, if you check yourself and the key does not exist you cangracefully handle it (maybe exit out of method with error). If you letSQL do it, the server will throw an error which cannot be suppressed.On the performance side, you doing the check will incur a slight (VERYslight) hit since SQL will ALSO check anyways.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn weekends I have Integrity Checks scheduled to run. Many of these fail for individual databases because users do not log off and the databases cannot be switched to single user mode.
I have checked Books-on-line and have not yet stumbled onto a TSQL command that breaks the connections.
Is there a TSQL command to do this? If not, how can these connections be broken?
Hi experts,
What is the difference between, Creating rules and creating checks on a field?
They both look the same.

I have a few databases on this Windows 2000 Server running
SQL 2000 which were detached from SQL 7.0 and attached to
SQL 2000.
The problem is the Maintenance Plans (Integrity Checks

What daily/weekly checks do you guys currently perform on your servers and databases?
I recently ran across with an article from SQLServerCentral that listed a couple of daily checks that I'm thinking about implementing on my environment, and some of them are:
DB Missing Recent Backup - Report
DB Missing Recent Log Backup - Report
Drives Low on Disk Space - Report
Error Log Messages Report - Report
Instance Recently Restarted - Report
Job Failures - Report
Large Databases Log File - Report
I already have in place:
Verify is SQL Agent Service is running
Check Disk Space Available
Since I'm going to spend some time on this, I was wondering if there's anything else that you guys have in place or any other 'nice to have' that you guys also might have, so I don't leave anything behind...
Thanks!

I have two connections in a package pointing to two different databases
on the same server. I have to insert records from 'DB1' table 'Gender1'
to 'DB2' table 'Gender2'. Before I do that though, I have to make sure
the minimum value (of all the Gender Keys that are going to be
inserted) of 'DB1' 'GenderKey' (which is an identity field) is greater than the
maximum value of DB2-GenderKey (which is a primary key but not an
identity field). How can I do this simple check? I have to do this process for many different tables ....... Gender table is just an example. If someone can give an detailed explanation on which tasks to use and how to use them (as I am relatively new to SSIS) that'd be great.
Hi all,
I'm trying to use a custom check constraint to insert into a table. I have created a function that checks an item against a authorization date as well and I've coupled this into the constraint. So for example, my function starts:
Code Snippet
ALTER FUNCTION {function1} (@ItemID INT, @AuthDate DATETIME)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Ret INT
SET @Ret = 0
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT top 1 ItemID FROM {table1}
Where b1.ItemID = @ItemID
AND @AuthDate <= ISNULL(b1.expirydate, @AuthDate))
BEGIN
SET @Ret = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Ret = 0
END
RETURN(@Ret)
END
GO
Now i couple that into a check constraint for the same table:
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE {table1} ADD CONSTRAINT {contraint_name} CHECK (([function1]([ItemID], [AuthorizedDate])=(1)))
GO
Now, when i insert a record into this table with an Authorized Date greater than the ItemDate it should set the @ret value to 1. This is being passed back to the constraint should set 1=1 which is true and therefore should allow an insert, however, i cannot do this. I think this is because it inserts the record and THEN does the check which makes it fail. Is there anyway to do this check before the INSERT without having to use a trigger? I dont want to use a trigger because when we're doing an insert for bulk rows, performance decreases correct?
I'm trying to simplify a SQL Stored Procedure.The query accepts an int, @ItemTypeID intI have the Query:SELECT ... FROM ItemList WHERE ItemTypeID = @ItemTypeIDor, if @ItemTypeID is 0,SELECT ... FROM ItemList Is there a way to do this query without doing:IF @ItemTypeID = 0BEGIN ...SELECT QUERY...ENDELSEBEGIN ...SELECT QUERY...END?

I want to check to see if a database exists in SQL Server 2005 Express... using VB.NET (or C#)... Can not use the SQLConnection Object... because I get a Failed Login Attempt... regardless if the DB does not exist or if it is because the User Login is incorrect

Googled the issue and found some articles on this issue, but wanted to also run it by you.
I looked at the maint plan properties and under the integrity tab of the maint plan attempt to repair any problems is checked, this is what I think:
Since attempt to repair is checked, the db was trying to repair the issue and since users were logged into the system
it could'nt repair the issue as the system needs to be in single user mode. I think if we uncheck the attempt to repair
option, then the job would run fine.
But is this the best way to do? how about the errors it was trying to repair? Do we have to fix the error's it was trying to
fix later by changing the db to single user mode.
PLease let me know your ideas, thanks!!
Hi,
Does TSQL provide methods to check if a file exists?
For example, a TSQL script will read data in a .dbf file into SQL Server. It will check if the file exists before read. How to do this check?
Thank you.
I have a VM set up for offloading DBCC checks. Specs are below. I've read through this, but I'm not seeing the performance gains by enabling the trace flags and using the physical only switch.
Is the whole drawback that I'm on SATA storage? Is there a VM configuration with the CPU I can/should change? I've been playing with MAXDOP trying to see if I can get any benefits but I'm not seeing a much.
