DBCC SQLPERF
Sep 5, 2006Hi
Have a SQL Server 2000 Server with SP3a
When i run the DBCC Command DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE) I see the following results
Database Name ==== Log Size === Log Space Used ===Status
--------------------------------------------------------
MyDB 7.588888E+11 -778.3809 0
==========================================================
What does this negative value mean ....
Thanks
DBCC SQLPERF (waitstats)
Nov 27, 2002Does any one know how to interpret the output of this DBCC SQLPerf (waitstats) command? This is not a documented command. It appears to retrieve performance statistics from SQL Server. It would be interesting to know what does the output mean in terms of SQL Server performance.

DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE)
Dec 18, 1998If I run DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE) to check logspace usage, I get a resulttable with the following fields:
Database Name, Log Size (MB), Log Space Used (%), Status
Of course I know what the first three fields mean, but I'm a little confused about the last one. Usually it says 1 or 0, and I think (1) means that the log space is not on it's own device and (0) that it is on it's own device.
Yesterday I got a status of 8 for one database, and I can't find anywhere what it means. I know that it's not equal to the status in sysdatabases.
Can someone tell me what it means?

I need to refresh it evry 15-20min.to monitor the growth(ofcourse in %)of log files.

Dbcc Sqlperf In SQL Server 2005
Jul 10, 2006In SQL Server 2005, the dbcc sqlperf requires View Server State permission. If this permission cannot be granted, how can I find out the nlogpcntused (Percentage of the log file currently occupied with transaction log information)?
By the way, is there any place that I can find out this kind of difference (required permission) between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005?
Thanks for any help,
Peter
DBCC SQLPERF WaitStates / OLEDB
Aug 2, 2007OK ... how many of you run dbcc SQLPERF(waitstats) to display analyze SQL Server 2000 resource utilization? How about sp_waitstats? This is a very useful stored procedure that takes the sqlperf output and aggregates it over common wait types. If you've had to work on a sick SQL Server box, I've found this pretty useful to help pinpoint bottlenecks.
While there's plenty written about the various wait types, there seems to a shortage of stuff written about acceptable or expected values!
I am experiencing some performance problems with some procedures running on the EE of SQL 2000 w/SP3 on a server with 12 GB of RAM & 8 CPUs. Since no major locking issues stood out, I ventured to see what types of waits were occurring. Using both dbcc SQLPERF(waitstats) and sp_waitstats I found 98% of the waits where the OLEDB type. First I've never seen a single wait type be responsible for such a large %.
For this type of wait, SQL Server is waiting for a OLE DB provider to service its request. High transactions or slow connection speeds in a distributed env are a big cause of these. This can be caused by slow authentication, outdate MDAC or incorrect DB Providers. (OK, I have to admit I haven't seen this type of wait before)
Has anyone else encountered this type of wait? I've seen various I/O Latch waits in the past but this is the first time I've seen OLEDB. If you've seen this, what were the steps taken to remedy this situation?
Thanks,

DBCC Sqlperf (LRUSTATS) Output Questions.
Nov 10, 1998When running the DBCC sqlperf (LRUSTATS) command I get
an extremely high value for the Avg Free Page Scan.
Typically, this value was between 1 and 2 for our
SQL 6.0 Server, but in upgrading to SQL 6.5, it has
jumped to about 200. Recently, I noticed another value
looks suspect. The Max Free Page Scan is equal to 1,
obviously not the *Max* value if the average is 200.
I know that others have seen this same behavior both
in this group and in the microsoft newsgroups. It seems
as though these values have been reversed or since
every example I've seen posted by others has a 1.0
value for the Max, this parameter is not working at all.
An example of the output follows:
Statistic Value
-------------------------------- ------------------------
Cache Hit Ratio 98.8573
Cache Flushes 4588.0
Free Page Scan (Avg) 184.768
Free Page Scan (Max) 1.0
Min Free Buffers 2048.0
Cache Size 24883.0
Free Buffers 2174.0
If anyone has information on this, or knows where I
can go to get more information, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Is There A System Table With Timestamp Info Or DTS Job Info?
May 7, 2007I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.

Last Used DB Info
Apr 4, 2006Hi all,
I've inherited the administration of two SQL Servers one 7.0 and the other 2000. We are looking into upgrading to 2005 so I'm gathering all the info I can on the DBs and applications using them.
Now, how can I check if a DB is currently in use? Is there a way to find out when a DB was last accessed?
By the way, I've never done DB administration so you can figure out how desperate I'm getting.
Thanks all for your help,
GS

Exception_Access_Violation Info
Sep 15, 1998To all:
I have installed a new Compaq 7000 with NT4.0 sp3 and Sql Server 6.5 sp4 into production about two weeks ago.
Everything went fine until yesterday. Around noon I received 2 Exception_Access_Violation about a second apart
with two differend spids. About 20 mins later I got the Out of connections message and sql server stopped
reponding. I Could not stop sql server and had to reboot the server. I have configured the connections at 600
and generally we average a little over 400. Everything seems to be running fine now but I would like to get some
information from all the great minds out there!
What exectly is Exception_Access_Violation? Can I figure out what caused it or can I debug it? Do you think that the
EAV caused the out of connections error? Any help, insight would help greatly!
Thanks in advanced,

Trace Info
Feb 19, 2004Folks, I've inherited a SQL 2K server that has a trace running. I can see the trace file being generated(.trc), I can also see the standard templates(.tdf). But BOL is not helpful in finding information about the
trace when you have no information. I just want to shut the damn thing off.
I can open the trc file in SQL Profiler but I am not proficient in the tool's use. I also don't see a trace table anywere in the database.
If anyone can be of any help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Some Info On MS SQL Server
Mar 1, 2006I have developed a great intrest in the MS SQL Server recently. I was just wondering if it was worth putting my time into learning this system. In the members opinion would SQL server be technically fit? Does it have a good campacity and flexibility? These areas are quite important to me. I would also like to know how web friendly the server is and its ability to handle complex data.
Any help would be much appriciated.
