I've done some searching, asking of friends, and searching every log file and event file I can think of. So now I'm coming here.
Recently I moved some of our databases from an NT4 box running SQL 7 to an Advanced 2000 box running SQL 2000. The web server is still on an NT4 box. It seems that about three times a day or so ASP type files will hang on the webserver. This server hosts different sites and all ASP type files will stop even if some of them hit the old SQL7 server.
Right now I moved the web server back to looking at the SQL 7 machine and things are going fine.
Can anyone offer me a direction to start looking? Why is it working fine to the old stuff but not the new stuff? Is there an issue with NT4 with its IIS trying to talk to an Advanced 2000 with its SQL2000?
Hi,The SQL server 2000 Server hangs some times. It is not periodic. It isnot specific in any queries, which are taking more time to execute.Because, it is occurring for different types of applications on thesame server on different machines. For the same applications when wehad the SQL Server 7.0 we didn't have any problem.O/S: Windows 2000 advanced serverServer: Dell power edge 2600 4 way server with 2 GB RAMDB: SQL 2000 - Enterprise edition (Normal default installation)- Noservice packs.Are there any server settings to be done...?Thanks in advance..RegardsSeni
I am working in Powerbuilder and SQL Server 2000. Within the application I dynamically Drop then recreate a view named view_selection_list. When another user accesses any screen using view_selection_list the screen will hang on the statement "If Exists (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'view_selection_list' AND type = 'V') DROP VIEW view_selection_list". I also went directly onto the database ran select * from view_selection_list from Query Analyzer. It hangs when the original user creating the view is still active. I know that the issue is locking. I don't know how to fix it.
For example ; String ls_sql ls_sql="If Exists ( SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'view_selection_list' AND type = 'V') DROP VIEW view_selection_list " Execute Immediate :ls_sql;
ls_sql="Create View view_selection_list as " Case 'State' ls_sql+=" Select distinct proj_id,'State - '+proj_state title from project where proj_state='"+is_data+"'"
Case 'Project' ls_sql+=" Select distinct proj_id,'Project - '+proj_nam title from project where proj_id='"+is_data+"'"
Case 'All Active Projects' ls_sql+=" Select proj_id,'Project -' +proj_nam title from project where proj_status = 4 and signed_acq_agmt = 'Y' "
End Choose
Execute Immediate :ls_sql;
The SQL Server connection in the application is: SQLCA.DBMS = "OLE DB" SQLCA.ServerName="acq" SQLCA.LogPass ="*******" SQLCA.LogId = "acq" SQLCA.Lock = "RU" SQLCA.AutoCommit = False SQLCA.DBParm = "PROVIDER='SQLOLEDB',DATASOURCE='FSRFIN103'"
I hope someone out there can help, cos i really need it. We have a 2 node cluster + SAN that will be used as our SQL 2000 servers. We have setup the cluster ok, and have tested failover with no problems. However, when we try to install SQL 2000, it just hangs. I have copied the enterprise cd to the local drive, and am installing from there. We run the setup.bat, create the Virtual Server, and assign an ip address. At this point, it just hangs. Upon checking the SQLSTP.LOG file, this is the last entry in the log: Begin Action : DialogShowSdDiskGroups
I have found the Microsoft Technet Article 293788, which gives me a possible soloution, but we dont have any Resource Names or Groups that have the same name.
Can someone PLEASE give me an answer on how to fix this, or at least point me in the right direction.
I upgraded from SQL server 7.0 to 2000 not long ago, I'm running 2000 SP3, WIN 2K. Things worked fine for several weeks after the upgrade but now I'm experiencing Enterprise Manager hang in the case of one database only, when I try to view the design of a VIEW. I can open the VIEW fine and look at the results, EM only hangs when I try to view design.
I have checked another of the active DBs on my server and it is fine, no EM hang.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
thx
**I just realized that I'm running SP3, not SP4 (corrected above). Correct me if I'm wrong but does MS have a fix for this problem in SP4? I seem to recall a similar issue in the KB.
Hi -We have two SQL 2000 Servers. We have the linked server setup and wecan perform updates and inserts between the databases. But when we adda trigger and insert something into a table, the database hangs. Thereare NO processes blocking or being block in either database. This ONLYoccurs when we have one OS as Windows 2000 Server and the other OS asWindows 2003 Server. This problem does not occur when both servers areWindows 2000. Has anyone ran into anything similar to this???*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I am trying to execute a stored procedure on SQL server 2000 Developer edition through ODBC. I am using a VC++ client for the same. The stored procedure has 51 parameters. The issue is that the response on method SQLExecDirect is not consistent. At times it will return success or failure based on parameter values, otherwise it just hangs up. The code snippet is like -
It appears to be some locking issue but I am the only user for the database. This code works perfectly fine for other stored procedures. I have tested the parameters on SQL analyzer store procedure execution utility.
I have a rather complex sp that runs for 4 minutes in SQL2000. It computes some messy oil and gas revenue/cost transactions. It involves lots of calls to functions that return single values of all types and also returns recordsets. There are all kinds of joins with temp and memory tables, etc. Just a mess, but it works. However, in SQL2005, it runs and apparently hangs, as it never ends.
I have run the Upgrade Advisor and otherwise, have not found any information that tells me that there are issues with functions or SQL-specific functions, tables, etc. that might cause this. Does anyone on this forum have some pointers on where I might look for assistance on this matter? Surely someone knows something about things working differently in 2005.
I am trying to run xp_cmdshell from the Query Analyzer using SQLServer 2000 running on Windows 98.It seems like it should be simple - I'm typingxp_cmdshell 'dir *.exe'in the Query Analyzer in the Master db. I'm logged in as sa.The timer starts running and never stops. No error message.Can anyone PLEASE help me with this? Any suggestions would beappreciated. Are SQL Server 2000 extended stored procedures notsupported in Windows 98? I've tried searching the Knowledge Base butcan't find anything.Thanks!
I have a Microsoft Cluster running on Server 2003 Entrprise. SQL 2000 8.00.2039 (SP4). 5gb physical memory installed.
With the databases online we run a test failover from the Cluster administrator. It takes about 30-40 seconds and completes without generating any Server Event log errors nor SQL log errors. Everything looks good from an administrative stand point.
However, when we test with running a series of queries to the databases, then failover, we notice that it can take up to 3 or 4 minutes before some of the databases will respond. Connections are not refused, they just sit there.
How can we troubleshoot this or does anyone have a similiar experience with this scenario?
I posted a message about this yesterday but I have more info..
I have a server (SQL 7.0, sp2) that anywhere I connect to it through EM the EM hangs. I can drill down into the server and even get into the Security drop down but if I hit Databases to drill down or Management etc. It hangs.
I did profiler on this and another server. When I click the + by the Database folder I hang and get "TSQL:Batch Starting: exec sp_MSdbuseraccess N'db', N'%'" but never get a "TSQL:BatchCompleted" for that statement. (Where other working servers I do get the set of both start and completed)
Drilling into the Security tab runs the query: exec sp_MSDBUserpriv... etc.) and this one works..
Anyone have any info on: exec sp_MSdbuseraccess N'db', N'%'
I can't find anything in BOL, Microsoft KB, Technet etc.. Please Help as there are certain things I can't do without EM... THANKS!!!
I have been trying all day to install SQL 7.0 on an NT 4.0 SP6a server. It gets to the point where it wants to load MDAC and just goes out to lunch. No errors are generated and the rest of the system does not appear to be affected. However, the only way to end the install is to end task it. Has anyone run into this?
Some of my jobs hang at FTP step for several hours until some one kills the FTP (it's a perl process) on the box. Is there a way to find how much time a particular step of the job is executing? and know it by somehow if it's hanging at that step?? If we know this,I want to kill the perl process(FTP) on the box in an automated way whenever the job hangs! Any ideas welcome!! Thanks. :-)
Hi all - I'm having a problem with a dts job that I haven't run across before. The function of the job itself is pretty basic just moving data into a sql table using a few lookups and mappings. The job starts fine and gets to a status of 5000 records processed and just sits there. It's doesn't go into a 'not responding state' nor does it produce any error information in the error file I set up. Anyone have any thoughts on what might be happening? How to identify the specific record it may be hanging on? Help!! - this one is driving me nuts.
I'm running a pretty simply DTS just to pump some data into a table. Nothing fancy just a couple lookups and a couple columns being copied over. I get to 5000 records processed and the DTS just spins its wheels. It does not go into a 'not responding' state. There are no indexes on the table and the db size is plenty big so it is not reindexing or resizing the db at this point. Any ideas on how I can debug this one would be greatly appreciated.
I am having a problem importing data into SQL 7 from any type of source. I go through the whole import process no problem. When I click the finish button to start the import, nothing at all happens. Enterprise Manager and the DTS just hang and I must use crtl+alt+delete to end the program. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what might be happening. Big Thanks in advance, I've been working on this for days.
I've run dbcc check commands on a 5Gig database which has 2 Gig of unallocated space, with no problems with the tables or database. However when i try to run dbcc shrinkfile ( on the DATA file ) from Query Analyser the command just runs indefinitely with no response.
I am having problems of my DTS package hanging when run through the sql server agent through a scheduled job. If I execute the job manually it runs fine? If I run the package manually it runs fine? Of course there is no way to actually tell what is being hung? Any ideas?
Hi everyone, I had to do a restore of a database from tape. I have the tape set to eject when it's complete, the tape ejects and the dialog box looks like the restore finishes fine. But when I look at the database after the restore it is still in the loading phase. So the restore never really took or looks like it hangs. Do you guys know why or how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
My client is using SQL Server 6.5 on NT 4.0. They have recently began to have their SQL server session freeze intermittently. I have determined that only users that are accessing one particular database are freezing which leads me to a locking problem. What is the best way to determine the locking problem (i.e. event logs, sp_lock, ....)?
I've written a recursive CTE to update a table's heirarchy data with a lineage that the CTE builds. This works and executes over 80,000 records on my local test environment in about 45 seconds. However when I try to execute it from a "production" environment, it hangs and never completes the update (well at least it's taking longer than 5 minutes and I'm too impatient to wait). The CTE itself still runs fine and returns data if I do a Select *, but not when I run the update. Here's my CTE, any ideas? Is there anything in database settings that would disallow this query update? or field requirements?
WITH MyLineage (ID, Lineage, ParentID) AS (SELECT ID, CAST('.'+ convert(nvarchar(max), ID) +'.' AS nVarchar(max)) as Lin, ParentID FROM Equipment WHERE OrgID=2 AND ParentID IS NULL UNION ALL SELECT E.ID, CAST(L.Lineage+ convert(nvarchar(max),E.ID)+'.' AS nVarchar(max)) AS Lin, E.ParentID FROM Equipment E INNER JOIN MyLineage L ON L.ID=E.ParentID WHERE L.ID=E.ParentID) UPDATE E SET E.Lineage=L.Lineage FROM Equipment E INNER JOIN MyLineage L ON E.ID=L.ID
If I try to do the update like this:
UPDATE Equipment SET Lineage=(SELECT Lineage FROM MyLineage WHERE MyLineage.ID=Equipment.ID)
it will hang in my local test environment as well. It seems like the other sql 2005 server instance is converting the join update into a nested select update, or something. I don't know what's going on, help?
I have a DTS that is loading 6 text files into respective tables. Before loading this files the tables are emptied using SQL tasks with the following code: DELETE FROM Table1 WHERE (OMC=?)
OMC is a PK from table1 and ? is a parameter within the DTS. Occasionally the system hangs executing these delete statements for one of the tables (not always the same!) I’m forced to reboot and then DB goes trough a recovery process.
Hi,Currently it is running on SQL 7.00.623 on Winnt 4.0+SP5.Now i want to upgrade this with SP 4.As i follow the installation procedure according to MicrosoftSQL7SP4 readme help, It hangs during the installation of Mdac_typ.exe.Don't know where and whats went wrong with the procedure.I've tried 3-4 times to install it but the same problem raises. Pleasesome body assist me how to complete this installation.Thanks in advanceIvar
I have an SSIS .dtsx package that will run fine during debugging, however, when I run it as a job under the SQL Agent the job won't start.
To be more specific, the Agent will load the package, ensure that it passes validation (which it does), then sit there without starting the rest of the package.
The job will run under the "executing" status until I stop it manually.
Does anyone have any idea why it might be doing this?
I've installed SSE2005 (with SP1 and the hotfix rollup) on a Small Business Server 2003 SP1, and 90% of the time, all is well.
SSE is running two user databases; one for an ASP web-based application, and one for a desktop application. Occasionally, pretty much everything for both apps hangs for a number of seconds (variable, but probably about 10-30 seconds at a time). During the hangs, even using Management Studio Express becomes impossible, and Activity Monitor just times out, so I can't see what's happening. SSE's Errorlog and server Event Logs show nothing unusual.
The hangs tend to come in batches, on-and-off for an hour or so, after which the problem clears and it's service as usual.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be, or at least how to start tracking it down?
I have a problem where a SQL 2005 server in the morning will deny all connections do to a time out error. Sytem has 4 CPU's in it and sqlservr.exe is utilizing 85% of all CPU's. If I run filemon it does not show activity to any of the SQL databases. I get a login timeout message when I try to connect via the enterprise manager or from a command prompt, even if I bump the timeout delay to 5 minutes. If I restart the SQL Server services all is fine for a few days.
On random occasions, our SQL Server instance will just hang and the users will not be able to use the application until we restart the SQL Server 2005 Service. Anyone have any ideas what we might do to figure out what is going on? The server hung up at 8:00 AM this morning. There was nothing after our midnight backup in the log until we rebooted the server at 8:05 AM.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric-
Im trying to upgrade the PUBS DB from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 using UA, the analysis starts well and progress and hangs at 28% for about 1 hours, what could be the reason, can any one help me?
I did a search and found no answers. I have a simple project; one data flow task reading from one DB2 tabel and writing to another. My OLEDB source is a sql command that returns 97,000 rows and my OLEDB destination's data access mode is "table or view".
For my OLEDB source SQL command, I run it through the "build query" panel and I get all 97,000 rows back within 90 seconds everytime.
I don't know what is so different since I currently do SQL commands that bring back 2.5 million rows from DB2 with no effort in SSIS. I even took my data flow task and placed into a known good solution - but still hangs at 50% forever. I tried attaching to SSIS server and executing through there, again no luck. Still hung!
First off, let me say it took me nearly all day to get this working. When you download the sql2decksp3.exe you might think it install like any other program. No. This exe simply unpacks the setup files. The actual setup program, setup.exe must be run from a DOS command prompt.... so you've got to look up the correct command line parameters in the sp3reademe.htm file. Something like:
No problem so far, but then when I go to run the setup.exe with the correct parameters the install goes fine until the last 5 seconds. Then hangs. Again and again. The install program keep getting hung up just before the finish. Each time I had to uninstall and reinstall-- 6 times. When if it hangs you've got to break out with the Task Manager, then do an uninstall from the Control Panel... if... an entry there was created. It usually is.
I tried everything I could think of and then did a search here. There were a few messages. The only one who actually got past this problem said he deleted all references for "Microsoft SQL" in the registry. I tried that too. It didn't work for me. That setup hung in the very same place. Then instead of breaking out and starting again, I tried shutting the machine down, while the setup was hung, thinking that maybe after a restart the installation might continue AND and that point the install completed.
Hope these notes help the next person who runs into the same problem. I also tried putting the modem on standby and disabling Norton anti-virus. Alone that did help, but when I tried all this stuff together... finally at 4:34 PM, I was able to establish a connection, from both VB.NET and with a great FREE MS SQL Manager at http://sqlmanager.net/products/mssql/manager/download
Now I can start. For some reason, the way I think... I can't do any coding until the entire database spec is first set up. Then you write all the add, edit, display and sort form, windows. When designing web applications, you design the database first, then each web form preforms some unique operation or reference on the remote database. I think that's the way it works.
