What is the most reliable way to determine the last LSN of a database? I've looked in sys.database_files to no avail. I've also looked in msdb.dbo.backupset which is accurate but only based on backups already performed not the current state of the database.

Problem: I can add 4 items to a SQL 7.0 database but I need to redirect the user if all 4 items exist in the same Record elsewhere in the Database.
Clearly I need some kind of statement like "if category1 = var1 AND category2 = var 2 AND..." but don't know where to put it.
Code:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblUserQuarter"
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn,adOpenStatic , adLockOptimistic
'Insert choices from report.asp into tblUserQuarter
objRS.AddNew
objRS("cboFY") = Request.Form("cboFY")
objRS("Quarter") = Request.Form("Quarter")
objRS("ID") = Request.Form("ID")
objRS("Report") = Request.Form("Report")
objRS.Update
objRS.Close
Set objRS = Nothing
objConn.Close
set objConn = Nothing

Hi There
I am trying to establish the date a database was last used.
At first i checked out sp_helpfile and sysfiles to see if there was a date last modified, i also tried using xp_cmdshell to check the date on the actual .mdf or .ldf on the o/s but if the file has not grown the date will be the create date.
I need to establish the date a database was last used, either the last time someone logged into it or the last time any sort of command was run against the database, i cannot use sysprocesses as there are no connections to the database, so i need to determine the last time there actually were any processes run against this database.
And i need to use tsql, checking audit logs etc is not viable, can anyone help ?
Thanx
Does anybody know of a way to determine the last date/time a table has been accessed (query/update)? I've done enough research to know that this isn't easy. However, perhaps somebody has figured out a way through some of the stats that SQL Server keeps to determine the last access of a table. I have recently been put on a team that had no DBA and has a number of databases out there. They would like to determine which databases are inactive and get rid of them. I am a developer and haven't had much SQL Server Administration experience. Any info will help greatly! Thanks!

Out of those, i want to move one of my databases to other SQL server 2012, For that i was trying to get approximate size of my database on current server. As i don't have the admin rights, so i can't get that. Can i get the approximate size by right clicking on database and by using the size property Under Database category to get the size idea?

When executing a stored procedure that is defined in another database, as:
USE db1;
EXEC db2.dbo.sproc;
Is there a way in the stored procedure "sproc" to determine that the caller made the call from db1?
Is it possible to determine the data flow within a database? e.g. I start by adding/inserting a record in MainTable1, then through a trigger SubTable1, SubTable2 have records inserted into, SubTable3 has a record updated into, then a StoredProcedure1 is run which updates first SubTable4, then a StoredProcedure2 is run which adds a record in SubTable5. So by simply adding a record in MainTable1, I affect 5 other tables.
Imagine a more complex process than this one now (which I'm currently facing and I want to win time and precision; I will still investigate it myself (if I will find an answer first - I will post it here)) Is there a way I could "extract" this flow by using T-SQL?

Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
Just found that my tempdb is always full whenever I run a query against a large database. Could please any experts here give me any advices on what is tempdb database used for and how to determine what files can be deleted from it?
I am looking forward to hearing from you and thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
I was wondering if there was another method to determine when a database was last backed up without using the backup history tables in msdb? whether using DBCC DBINFO, DBCC PAGE on a specific database page...etc.
Also, when restoring a database, is there a trace flag you can use to force restore details to be written to the error log?
How do I determine the read/write frequency on a database table? I am trying to do this on a 2012 and 2008 R2 servers.

I am trying to determine the next available order id using the method below. It works provided the table has a record in it. If it doesn't I get the error "Input string was not in a correct format."

View 1 Replies View RelatedGood day,
We have a web application (ASP) running on SQL Server 7.0.
Recently, the users are getting quite a lot of timeouts on
the database:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e31'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired
The database is not supposed to be doing too much work, so I can't
understand why these timeouts are occuring. How can I determine
the cause of the timeouts?
The cause could probably anything from a trigger that's taking
too long, a query that's taking too long, or simply bad database design.
I've looked at SQL Server's Profiler, but could not yet use it
successfully to give me any hints of what could cause the timeouts.
Any ideas of how I can use Profiler, Performance Monitor, or any other
tool(s) to see what is happening in the background in the database,
i.e. how much processing a trigger is using, etc.
Thanks very much!

I'm new to full text catalogs and we have a vendor who's code utilizes them. The database server is SQL 2005 and I am noticing the following message in the SQL log every minute.
Changing the status to MERGE for full-text catalog "ResearchCatalog" (5) in database "DBA_Test" (11). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
A SQL job is running the following command every minute.
exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'ResearchCatalog', 'start_incremental'
What is the typical frequency for running an incremental?
Can the messages be suppressed?
Thanks, Dave

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been doing a lot of reading on this and my head is starting tohurt! It seems to be quite a feat to work out how much memory isactually being used by our server.I'm running W2K advanced server with SQL 2000 EE, 8GB of RAM, a min of4GB and a max of 6GB is assigned to SQL server.I'm trying to work out whether we've assigned enough or toomuch/little memory to SQL server. My first thought was to let SQLdymanically manage its own memory and see how much it uses, of coursewhen AWE (/3GB /PAE) is enabled it will just use all that isavailable.In perfmon "target server memory" = 6.1GB, "total server memory" =6.1GB, "total pages" = 768000 ( x 8KB = 6.1GB).My second thought was to use "total pages" - the average "free pages"= average mem used, therefore giving me the average amount of memoryused by SQL. I found out that SQL uses a min of 4GB (the min weassigned) and the max of all the memory, 6GB.Is there an easier way of finding out how much memory is actually usedin this situation or is going by the above average the best way?What i'm unsure about is will SQL just use all memory assigned to ituntil it has the whole DB in memory? 20GB including indexes etc....Any help would be greatly apprechiated.

Hi all... This is the definition on the M/S site:
"Deterministic functions always return the same result any time they are called with a specific set of input values and given the same state of the database. Nondeterministic functions may return different results each time they are called with a specific set of input values even if the database state that they access remains the same."
Good... straight forward, right? Ok.... try entering thses command seperately:
Create Table Readings (ReadingDate DateTime Not Null);
Create Function [dbo].[funct_SameDate](@datReadingDate Datetime)
Returns DateTime
As
Begin
return @datReadingDate;
End
Alter table Readings add
[TempColumn] as (dbo.[funct_SameDate](ReadingDate)) PERSISTED NOT NULL;
Error on last command returns:
Computed column 'TempColumn' in table 'Readings' cannot be persisted because the column is non-deterministic.
Can someone please explain this to me? The same value is always being returned.
This does work:
Create Table Readings (ReadingDate DateTime Not Null);
Alter table Readings add [TempColumn] as (ReadingDate) PERSISTED NOT NULL;
I obviously want to do more things inside the function, but I can't get by the first step.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a report that has a table with detail grouping. This table shows the sales by day for each product. The users only want to see the date field for the first item in the group. After that, they do not want to display this field (to reduce the data on the report). However, when the data wraps to a second page, they want the date to appear on the first row of the new page.
Is there any way to determine if a row is the first row on a page?
I tried using the RowCount, but that continues from the previous page.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
David.
hi,
since I am kind o'new with SQL, I preffer get an advice fro you pro's: I created an application which performs access to a database on an SQL server. the application will be used by a few different users, each on a different computer. the application calls stored procedures, updatesinserts records in tables on the SQL and delete rows. what would be the best role to define the users activity ? How do I limit their activity ONLY to the specified actions ?
I'm working on a sproc that determines the next order id for a specified customer. The table has
custid int,

1001, 1001-001
1000, 1000-003
I need to know the next ordernum for the specified custid. For example, GetNextOrderNum(1000) should return 1000-004. GetNextOrderNum(1002) should return 1002-001 (since there aren't any orders yet).
I honestly don't know where to begin.
