How Long Does It Take For Sp_repldone To Execute?

Mar 2, 2005

Does the time it takes to execute sp_repldone depend on the size of the transaction log it's working on?

Basically, I am executing sp_repldone to mark all of the transactions as replicated, so I am wondering it sp_repldone goes through each unreplicated transaction and marks it, or does it just go to the last unreplicated transaction and marks only the last one, and all of the previous ones are automatically consideres replicated?

Reason to ask: our transaction log is around 27GB right now, although normally it's approximately 1GB. The sp_repldone command has been executing for the past 30 hours, and since it doesn't give any information as to the status of the execution, I'm wondering if it's doing anything at all... :confused: I also checked the process, and it in not blocked by anything.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have transactional replication going between servers A and B. SQL

Is there any way to solve this problem without deleting the existing

Any help would be appreciated

Long Duration Pre-Execute Phase

Mar 2, 2006

Does anyone know why SSIS sometimes just sits in the Pre-Execute phase of a data flow and does nothing? It doesn't matter how elaborate the data flow is or the volume of data. It can sometimes take 80% of the task's run time.

SP: Execute Long-running Queries In Small Chunks

May 7, 2002

Here's a little SP to break up those long-running, massively-locking, bring-app-to-a-halt queries. By default it does 500 rows at a time and allows for a maximum SQL query size of 4000 characters; it should be trivial to adjust those.

Cheers

CREATE PROCEDURE p_BatchExecute (@vcSQL varchar(4000)) AS
set nocount on
DECLARE @iRows int
select @iRows=1
SET ROWCOUNT 500
WHILE @iRows>0

set @iRows=@@ROWCOUNT

Help! The Transaction Log Is Full Error In SSIS Execute SQL Task When I Execute A DELETE SQL Query

Dec 6, 2006

Dear all:

I had got the below error when I execute a DELETE SQL query in SSIS Execute SQL Task :

Error: 0xC002F210 at DelAFKO, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "DELETE FROM [CQMS_SAP].[dbo].[AFKO]" failed with the following error: "The transaction log for database 'CQMS_SAP' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.


But my disk has large as more than 6 GB space, and I query the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases which return value as "NOTHING".

So this confused me, any one has any experience on this?

Many thanks,

Tomorrow

Looking For A Way To Refer To A Package Variable Within Any Transact-SQL Code Included In Execute SQL Or Execute T-SQL Task

Apr 19, 2007

I'm looking for a way to refer to a package variable within any
Transact-SQL code included in either an Execute SQL or Execute T-SQL
task. If this can be done, I need to know the technique to use -
whether it's something similar to a parameter placeholder question
mark or something else.


FYI - I've been able to successfully execute Transact-SQL statements
within the Execute SQL task, so I don't think the Execute T-SQL task
is even necessary for this purpose.

SSIS Execute Package With Execute Out Of Process = True Causes ProductLevelToLow Error

Mar 6, 2008



Hi.

I have a master package, which executes child packages that are located on a SQL Server. The Child packages execute other child packages which are also located on the SQL server.

Everything works fine when I execute in process. But when I set the parameter in the mater package ExecutePackageTask to ExecuteOutOfProcess = True, I get the following error


Error: 0xC00470FE at DFT Load Data, DTS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW. The product level is insufficient for component "Row Count" (5349).

Error: 0xC00470FE at DFT Load Data, DTS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW. The product level is insufficient for component "SCR Custom Split" (6399).

Error: 0xC00470FE at DFT Load Data, DTS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW. The product level is insufficient for component "SCR Data Source" (5100).

Error: 0xC00470FE at DFT Load Data, DTS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW. The product level is insufficient for component "DST_SCR Load Data" (6149).

The child packages all run fine when executed directly, and the master package runs fine if Execute Out of Process is False.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Anyone have same sample on how to put in and retrive long text (more then 255 characters).
Please Comment.

Ray Miao at 7/19/00 8:24:08 AM

You should use readtext and writetext to access text column. By the way, nchar and nvarchar can hold up to 4000 characteres.

Sep 22, 2000

Hi
When writing a stored procedure,sometimes the line of sql code could be very long and be more than 128 caracthers.
I got an error message saying that the code is vey long and the maximum is 128.
But at the same time, this is erratic in MSSQL server because it works sometimes even with a line of code of more than 800 caracters...
Have you ever experienced the same problem??
What is the solution?

What Is Taking So Long?

Feb 13, 2008

Hello.

I have a query that takes 1,5second to execute, but only 150ms of CPU. The query is quite simple, just one where statement against a clustered index.

SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 156 ms, elapsed time = 1595 ms.



SELECT column1, column3, column4, ..., column10 FROM table WHERE column2 IN (37, 41, 43, 45, 49, 53, 55) ORDER BY column3 DESC



|--Sort(TOP 1000, ORDER BY:([u].[LastActivityDate] DESC))
|--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__searchtest].[cix___searchtest_] AS [u]), SEEK:([u].[searchparamid]=37 OR [u].[searchparamid]=41 OR [u].[searchparamid]=43 OR [u].[searchparamid]=45 OR [u].[searchparamid]=49 OR [u].[searchparamid]=53 OR [u].[searchparamid]=55 OR [u].[searchparamid]=59) ORDERED FORWARD)





I have tried to rewrite the query to an INNER JOIN instead.


|--Sort(TOP 1000, ORDER BY:([u].[LastActivityDate] DESC))
|--Nested Loops(Inner Join, OUTER REFERENCES:([spal].[number]))
|--Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__search_parameters_lookup].[IX___search_parameters_lookup] AS [spal]), SEEK:([spal].[hash]=-1726604993) ORDERED FORWARD)
|--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__searchtest].[cix___searchtest_] AS [u]), SEEK:([u].[searchparamid]=[spal].[number]) ORDERED FORWARD)


but the query still takes 1,5 seconds.


It spends 59% (according to execution plan) of sorting. 14% for the index seek of the __search_parameters_lookup table and then 24% of a clustered index seek of the __searchtest table.


How come it only uses that small of CPU but it still takes 1,5 seconds? It seems to be reading from memory as well so it shouldnt be an IO-problem?

The index I have on the table is a clustered index on (column 2).

Any ideas of how I can improve this? I have tried with DTA, also with a non clustered index on column3.

If I remove some columns from the SELECT-list the query will execute alot faster:

SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 32 ms, elapsed time = 32 ms.

Booth the CPU and the elapsed time goes down and now appears to be more normal.

So there seems to be a problem caused by data transfer.
I tried to do a remake and normalize the table and when I do that I get the query execute with a speed of 400ms CPU and 400ms total. And this is still the exact same result, so why does it only spend 400ms of "rendering" or fetching the data when the tables are normalized but 1500ms when its denormalized?

Any ideas?

Long Transaction

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,I am still not very proficient in SQLServer. So apology if thequestion sounds basic.We have a script to clean old unwanted data. It basically deletesall rows which are more than 2 weeks old. It deletes data from33 tables and the number of rows in each table runs into few millions.What I see in the script (not written by me :-) ) is that all data isdeleted within a single BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT TRANSACTION. AsI have background in informix, such an action in Informix may resultin "LONG TRANSACTION PROBLEM". Does SQLServer have a similar concept.Also won't it have performance problem if all rows are marked lockedtill they are committed.TIA.

SP2 - The Long And Short Of It

Apr 17, 2007

Problems Encountered Upgrading SQL 2005 SP1 to SQL 2005 SP2 (9.0.3042.1):

In Summary:

Maintenance Plans Broken
Database Mail Broken
Reporting Services Report Viewer web part displays US Format dates instead of report design English-Australian. .
In Detail:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 was downloaded from Microsoft.com. This download occurred after 5 March 2007 and the file version was 9.0.3042.1 (SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe)
During the Installation of SP2 by a Domain Administrator an error occurred on the Database Engine. A Hotfix Exception was raised and the setup completed with errors.
The Error Log reported a problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Database Services (MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 2047
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure
Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfixSQL9_Hotfix_KB921896_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
Error Number : 29534
Error Description : MSP Error: 29534 Service 'MSSQLSERVER' could not be started. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. The error code is (1067) The process terminated unexpectedly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The SQL Server service could not be manually started. An error was reported in the event viewer:
One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.


It was noted that a new file mssqlsystemresource.ldf had been copied to the %data% folder.
Note: As part of separating data and log files, both the master and mssqlsystemresource databases had been previously moved to another volume %data% whilst their respective log files had been moved to a separate volume also %log%. This had occurred after SP1 was initially installed and months prior to the SP2 install using Microsoft KB articles to detach and reattach the databases. It appears that the SP2 installer does not work correctly if mssqlsystemresource mdf and ldf files are not in the same location.
Whilst the Engine could not be started €“ the new mssqlsystemresource.ldf file was manually moved to the %log% file, overwriting the previous version.
The SQL Server Service was now able to start without any errors.
Since the SQL Server Service has been started two major errors have become apparent:
The following error is recorded when trying to create a new maintenance plan:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

------------------------------

Database Mail is also broken on the server. The Database Mail Log reports an €œActivation Failure€? when a test email is sent. (the email does not arrive). The SQL Log and event viewer also report the following message:
The activated proc [dbo].[sp_sysmail_activate] running on queue msdb.dbo.ExternalMailQueue output the following: 'Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter'


Another error affects Reporting Services reports that are accessed using the SharePoint V2.0 Web parts ( rsWebparts.cab) . The date picker in the Report Viewer web part now only recognises US format dates. It is important to note that the same reports run through the Report Manager web site work correctly using DD/MM/YYYY (English-Australian ) date format for the report picker.
It is noted that the rsWebparts.cab file was not updated by SQL 2005 SP2 install. However, the behaviour of the Report Viewer web part has definitely been affected by the SP2 install.
Are the first two issues related? Are they due to the fact that mssqlsystemresource mdf and ldf files had been moved to an unexpected location prior to SP2? How can this be fixed?
Are the Reporting Services SharePoint (V2) web parts going to be updated? We are not in a position to upgrade our Portal 2003/SharePoint Servcies V2 installation at the present time.

Long Vs Short

Mar 26, 2008

Here is a fairly basic question in which I'd like assistance. In determining a standard for a schema, for simplicity, my thinking is that using the long data type would meet our purposes.

Are there any thoughts on mapping out where we would not need to take advantage of long vs short? I realize the space but for this particular table, space won't an issue.

Thanks!

How Long Until SQL SP Is Executed

Mar 11, 2008



I have a program that allows various users to login to the sql server. On the login window there is a dropdown that lists all the databases on the server and the user can select which database they wish to login to. To get the list of databases on the server I use a login created for the program we will call 'worker'. The program logs in as worker and runs "SELECT * FROM sys.databases". Before I load the login window, I check to make sure the login worker exists or has been corrupted (in case a user deletes it or changes the password, etc) and if it has been corrupted or deleted, I recreate the login using the "CREATE LOGIN worker WITH PASSWORD = '123' " function.

The problem occurs after I recreate the worker login. The login is created successfully but when the login window appears and logs in as the worker login to get a list of the databases, I get an error saying the login failed for worker. If open the login window again, everything works fine (the worker login isn't created again as it already exists). Further, if I run the same code but put a break point in the code and step through everything, it works the first time.

Is there an amount of time that is necessary to wait for the CREATE LOGIN function to be executed?

|--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__searchtest].[cix___searchtest_] AS [u]), SEEK:([u].[searchparamid]=[spal].[number]) ORDERED FORWARD)

but the query still takes 1,5 seconds.


It spends 59% (according to execution plan) of sorting. 14% for the index seek of the __search_parameters_lookup table and then 24% of a clustered index seek of the __searchtest table.


How come it only uses that small of CPU but it still takes 1,5 seconds? It seems to be reading from memory as well so it shouldnt be an IO-problem?

The index I have on the table is a clustered index on (column 2).

Any ideas of how I can improve this? I have tried with DTA, also with a non clustered index on column3.

If I remove some columns from the SELECT-list the query will execute alot faster:

SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 32 ms, elapsed time = 32 ms.

Booth the CPU and the elapsed time goes down and now appears to be more normal.

So there seems to be a problem caused by data transfer.
I tried to do a remake and normalize the table and when I do that I get the query execute with a speed of 400ms CPU and 400ms total. And this is still the exact same result, so why does it only spend 400ms of "rendering" or fetching the data when the tables are normalized but 1500ms when its denormalized?

Any ideas?

I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039

Long Running Query - Only From .NET

Aug 22, 2007

I have a pretty complex query that aggregates lots of data and inserts multiple rows of that data into a reporting table.  When I call this SPROC from SQL Server Management Studio, it executes in under 3 seconds.  When I try to execute the same SPROC using .NET's SqlCommand object the query runs indefinitely until the CommandTimeout is reached. Why would this SPROC behave differently with the same inputs, but being called from .NET? Thanks for your help!
