Join Filter Causes Conflicting Locking Hints

Jul 14, 2006

Hi,

Using Merge replication, I have a table that is filtered using the HOST_NAME() function. The filter also makes use of a function (as the HOST_NAME() is overriden to return some complex data).

Everything replicates and filters just fine. but when I add a join filter on a different table (the join filter is a simple foreign key join) I get the following error when the snapshot agent is run:



Message: Conflicting locking hints are specified for table "fn_GetIDList". This may be caused by a conflicting hint specified for a view.
Command Text: sp_MSsetup_partition_groups
Parameters: @publication = test1



fn_GetIDList is the function used in the original filter.

Thanks for any help

Locking Hints

May 1, 2007

Hi

My VB.Net (with SQL Server backend) application currently allows more than one user to look at a particular record at the same time. This is not a problem unless both those users also try to update that record as well. One user's changes then overwrite the other's.

I've been reading up on locking hints but my database knowledge is a little scant and I'm also rather dense and need things spelling out for me!! So I have a few questions that I hope someone can help with:

If I add an updlock to my update SQL statement, this would allow both users to view the record but would only allow one user's changes through. Is that correct?

For the other user, would SQL Server return an error message that I can use to tell the user that their update has not worked?

Would I have to get my VB.NET application to re-get the record information so that the user who's update failed can see the changes made by the other user and reapply their own changes?

Does the updlock become unlocked once the record is updated or do I need to specifically unlock it somehow?

Thanks!

Queue Processing Using Updlock, Readpast Locking Hints

Apr 25, 2008

This article instructed me on how to process rows from a table used as a data queue for multiple processes.

http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1257

I tested this against the AdventureWorks DB (SQL 2005) and multiple SQL connections inside of Sql Mgmt. Studio).

Connection1:


BEGIN TRANSACTION


SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) --skips over locked rows
--COMMIT TRANSACTION

Connection2:


BEGIN TRANSACTION


SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) --skips over locked rows

COMMIT TRANSACTION



This works like I want where connection 2 skips over the locked row from connection 1 and gets the next available record from the table / queue. However, when I add ORDER BY tsql to each sql statement, connection 2 is now blocked waiting for Connection 1 to commit. (This is not what I want)

Connection1:


BEGIN TRANSACTION


SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) order by DueDate

--COMMIT TRANSACTION

Connection2:


BEGIN TRANSACTION


SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Production.WorkOrder WITH (updlock, readpast) order by DueDate --is blocked until connection 1 commits transaction

COMMIT TRANSACTION




How do I prevent blocking when using these locking hints with ORDER BY?


thanks

BUG With Join Hints

Apr 20, 2007

I am having problems with doing what seams to be a very easy query. For some reason the SQL Server is trying to do nested loops instead of hash join. I tried to force the use of the hash join using the join hint.





Query 1


select *
from DIM_DATE DD
inner hash join (
select A.student_key,
CONVERT(int, CONVERT(varchar, COALESCE (A.date_withdrawn, getdate()), 112)) AS date_withdrawn_current
FROM FACT_STUDENT AS A
) SSE on DD.date_key= date_withdrawn_current
This query gives an error:

Msg 8622, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Query processor could not produce a query plan because of the hints defined in this query. Resubmit the query without specifying any hints and without using SET FORCEPLAN

Second query is not really what I want but it illustrate that it works fine when getdate() is not used.



Query 2


select *
from DIM_DATE DD
inner hash join (
select A.student_key,
CONVERT(int, CONVERT(varchar, COALESCE (A.date_withdrawn, A.date_enrolled), 112)) AS date_withdrawn_current
FROM FACT_STUDENT AS A
) SSE on DD.date_key= date_withdrawn_current
Is there some problem with using function getdate() ? It works fine in SQL Server 2000

This problem occurs on the SQL Server 2005 SP2 ( 9.00.3050.00 (X64) )
and (9.00.2050)

Locking Behaviour On JOIN

Jul 23, 2005

Hello all,I have what I hope is a simple question:Does SQL Server have an 'all-or-nothing' locking policy? Or does itacquire as many locks as it can and then sit and wait for the rest?Example:SELECT * FROM TABLE_A INNER JOIN TABLE_BON TABLE_A.dbid = TABLE_B.dbidNormally a SHARED lock would be acquired on both objects (pleasecorrect me if I'm wrong). But let's say TABLE_B was being updated byanother process at the same time, and so we couldn't get the sharedlock. Would the dbms go ahead and acquire the shared lock on TABLE_Aand then wait for the other lock, or would it not acquire any lock atall until locks on both TABLE_A and TABLE_B were available?I ask because I'm investigating a deadlocking problem that's drivingme mad :)Thanks,Tommy.

RDA Filter With Join?

Nov 20, 2007

I've setup RDA (Sql Server 2005) for my WM5 device and it works great to pull a simple table, even with a simple where clause.

I tried to join to tables to limit the number of records but I'm getting an error saying something about cannot track because of multitable query. So is it only possible to pull simple tables with RDA. If it is, is there a workaround?

JOIN Filter Problem

Mar 24, 2008

Hello, I am sort of new to SQL so I thought I would ask you people about this problem I'm having.
Let's say I have two tables defined as follows, where the Ids are the primary keys -

Team Table Player Table

id Name TeamId PName
1 Gophers 1 Carman
2 Pioneers 1 Stoa
1 Wheeler
2 Bozak
2 Butler
2 Ostrow

Now let's say I join them using the following statement

SELECT * FROM Team INNER JOIN Player ON Player.TeamId = Team.Id

and it gives me the following -
id Name TeamId PName

1 Gophers 1 Carman

1 Gophers 1 Stoa

1 Gophers 1 Wheeler

2 Pioneers 2 Bozak
2 Pioneers 2 Butler

2 Pioneers 2 Ostrow

But what I want as my end result, and I don't know if this is possible using SQL is this -


id Name TeamId PName

1 Gophers 1 Wheeler

NULL NULL 1 Stoa

NULL NULL 1 Carman

2 Pioneers 2 Ostrow
NULL NULL 2 Bozak

NULL NULL 2 Butler

Can this be done in SQL using JOIN and how would I do it?

Join Filter Failure

Jan 26, 2006

Hello there,

I'm experiencing a really weird problem:
I have a SqlCE subscriber connecting via IIS to a SQL Server 2005 database. The database publisher/distributor and the web server are on different machines (IIS being in a DMZ) and I want to avoid the use of Kerberos delegation to share priviledges on the snapshot folder.
I configured the web synchronization to accept basic authentication and obviously the subscriber sends @internetlogin and @internetpassword. Plus, I used a DB authentication on the SQL Server database.
First problem, if i disable on the publisher configuration the anonymous authentication, replication fails (I expected to be an authenticated user)
If i enable anonymous authentication, the replication succeed but ONLY if I don't use join filters. Everything goes well with static filters, overlapping/non overlapping articles, download only tables. Using a dynamic filter results in a "The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber" error.

I really can't imagine a way to fix this behaviour.

Thanks in advance

Merge: Records Associated By A JOIN Filter Not Being Sent To A Subscriber

Jan 25, 2007

Hi,

I have a merge (SQL 2005 Standard -> Express) topolgoy which is having problems 

The main problem is that the join filters don't seem to work for one area and I am hoping someone can help me with some troubleshooting advice

There are 140+ tables in the topology but the ones causing  particular  pain are a parent child relationship where the child is actually a bridge/linking table to another table.

Therefore although it is a parent child in the replication filters it is the reverse. i.e. the child has the paramterised filter on it and the parent is one level down joined by it's id.  There are other tables joined to this parent table but it stays at three levels deep.  The @join_unique_key therefore is set to 0 as is the partition options for the parent /child relationship.

However, when we synchronise we have a problem. The rows get inserted in to the database in RI order but only the child records are replicated down to the subscriber.

The child table with the parameterised filter has 13 articles joined to it in total and one of the other branches of join filters go down as deep as four levels.  Most though do not.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, James

P.S. I should add this problem only occurs when the edits are made at the publisher.  If new records are added at the subscriber everything is fine.

Filter Criteria - Temp Table Join Or Where Clause?

MS SQL Conflicting With Other DB Engines.

May 18, 2004

Hello All,
I work for a company that packages MSDE and MSSQL 8.0 because our software requires storing client information in a database. The problem is that we've found that if the our users have another DB engine installed (BDE or Paradox usually), our program has trouble using MSDE to access the database and thus making our software inaccessible. It behaves as if this other database engine locks on our database before MSDE can. I'm basically looking for help on either how to uninstall these other db engines or how to get around this problem so that both MSSQL and other db engines can co-exist in one system.

How To Solve Conflicting Component ID's

Feb 2, 2007

Hello,

I have 3 packages in one solution:

package A is the main package and calls packages B and C using 2 "Execute Package Task"s.
package B is a package constructed from scratch.
package C is a package started by file copying the package B .dtsx file in Windows Explorer and then adding/removing/renaming content.

If I run packages B and C separately they work fine.

If I run package A, package B is started and finishes correctly. Then package C is started and stops somewhere in the middle.

I guess this is because some of the component id's within package C are identical to those in package B ( I checked in the dtsx packages using Notepad. ) and somehow SSIS remembers the precedence constraints of package B and stops executing the rest of C. But I am not sure. And I do not know how to solve this without a risk of losing two days of work.

Any advice/suggestions ?

TIA

DISTINCT Conflicting With My Query

I need p.phonenumber in there but then it messes up my DISTINCT ON m.number because I end up with dup m.numbers if I run just the inner select statement during testing.

But then I need the phonenumber in that subquery so that I can do list.phonenumber

ahh!



UPDATE Master
     SET master.homephone = list.phonenumber
FROM MASTER m
INNER JOIN
     (SELECT DISTINCT p.number, topphone.phonenumber
        FROM phones p
        INNER JOIN (SELECT top 1 phonenumber from phones) as topphone ON topphone.number = p.number
        WHERE    p.phonetypeID = 1
               AND ISNULL(p.good, 0) <> 0
               AND LEN(p.phonenumber) = 10
     ) AS list ON m.Number = list.Number
WHERE m.homephone IS NULL OR m.homephone = ''

Error:

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Skiaa, Line 66
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'top'.

Log Shipping Conflicting For Setting DR Server

Dec 12, 2007

Hi all,

I need some advice on this scenario.

I have to set a Disaster Recovery (DR) server from my production Server( Most probably, i will be using Database Mirroring for my DR Server). Right now, the production is log shipped to another server for reporting every 15 minutes.

So, for setting up Database Mirroring onto my DR Server, i can take Full Backup from production without damaging log Shipping.
But, for setting up Database Mirroring, we need to restore most recent Transaction log backup with norecovery ( Correct me if i am wrong).

But, I cannot take log back because the prodcution database is log shipped for Reporting needs. If taken, log chain breaks.

Can anyone please suggest some work around for setting up the DR Server with minimal downtime.

Thanks for all your help.

Inserting Nulls In To Table Conflicting With Rule

I want to essentially insert the data in to theother.I use:INSERT INTO table ( column, column .... )SELECT * FROM table2Now, table2 has a rule on various columns:@CHARACTER IN ('Y','N')but the column allows nulls, in the design view is says so anyway.When I run this query I get:A column insert or update conflicts with a rule imposed by a previousCREATE RULE statement. The statement was terminated. The conflictoccurred in database 'database', table 'table', column 'column'.The statement has been terminated.Obviously, I've changed the names of everything.The only data in those columns which could possibly conflict with therule is the NULL value. Any ideas why this doesn't work?Thanks.

Transact SQL :: Reducing Deadlocks From Conflicting Delete Statements

Jun 15, 2015

I am working on an app that getting quite a few deadlocks due to delete statements.  I have turned on the sql trace flags and pulled the offending delete statements out of the ERRORLOG and trying to mesh those up with the indexes defined on the table, etc. looking to see if there is anything that can be done strictly from the db side (no app code change) to reduce/eliminate these deadlocks.  I have ran some tests/played around with RCSI and even disabling lock escalation but neither have improved my results.

What I have done is to search the errorlog file for DELETE FROM Tablename, output those matching lines, then sort of normalize the literal values to # or XYZ, open in Notepad++, removed trailing whitespace + dups and sort to come up with these results for the unique list of offending T-SQL statements (a LOT easier to read in text editor so sending screen cap.

Hints

Jul 23, 2005

I am kind of confused about the way SQL Server 2000 handles the hintsthat users supply with their SQL statements.[color=blue]>From BOL, it seems that one can specify them with "WITH (...)" clauses[/color]in SQL statements known as table hints. Sometimes, multiple uses ofthis form in a statement is OK. Then there is the OPTION clause forspecifying statement hints. However, the documentation on OPTIONsection discourages their use.Being relatively new to SQL Server and still learning about it, what isthe general practice? Use hints or not? And if so, how (through WITHor OPTION clauses)?Cheers!

Automatic Select Filter (something Like Global Table Filter)

Apr 15, 2008

Hello,

Here is my problem:


I use SQL Server 2005. I have approx. 50 tables in my database and 30 of them have a filed named "CompanyID". Example:
create table A (ID int identity, NAME varchar(100), COMPANYID int)create table A (ID int identity, REF_ID int, FIELD1 varchar(100), FIELD2 varchar(100), COMPANYID int)

Also there are nearly 200 stored procedures that read data from these tables. Example:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... /* ... */end;

All my queries in the Stored procedure does not filter the tables by CompanyID, so they process the entire data.

However, now we have a requirement to separate the data for each company. That means that we have to put a filter by CompanyID to each of those 20 tables in each query where the tables appear.

Firstly, I put the CompanyID in the context so now its value is accessible through the context_info() function. Thus I do not need now to pass it as a parameter to the stored procedures.

However, I don't know what is the easiest and fastest way to filter the tables. Example:

I modified the above mentioned procedure in the following way:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */
-- gets the CompanyID from the context: DECLARE @CompanyID int; SELECT @CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))
select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ...
and A.COMPANYID = @CompanyID and B.COMPANYID = @CompanyID /* ... */end;

Now I have the desired filter by CompanyID. However, modifying over 200 stored procedures is rather tedious work and I don't think that this is the best approach. Is there any functionality in SQL Server that can provide the possibility to put an automatic filter to the tables.
For example: when I wrote "SELECT * FROM A", the actual statements to be executed would be "SELECT * FROM A WHERE CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))".

I was looking for something like "INSTEAD OF SELECT" triggers but I didn't manage to find any answer.

I would very grateful is someone suggests a solution for something like "global table filter" (that will help me make an easy refactoring)?


Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Beroetz

Confused About Using Lock Hints?

Mar 19, 2006

I noticed that the online books say the following:
Note  The SQL Server query optimizer automatically makes the correct determination. It is recommended that table-level locking hints be used to change the default locking behavior only when necessary.
Also, at another place in online books, it says:
The table hints are ignored if the table is not accessed by the query plan.
From the above, it seems that using locking hints is not going to guarantee that SQL Server will follow them. Is this true?

Reason To Use Optimizer Hints

Aug 5, 1999

While investigating performance problems within an application recently I carried out some tests using SET SHOWPLAN ON.

I had a query like this within a stored procedure:

SELECT MAX(X) FROM Y WHERE Z LIKE @MYVAR

Where @MYVAR was passed in. I discovered that SQL Server did a Table Scan even when Z had an index on it. A problem with 200,000 rows!

If I said

SELECT MAX(X) FROM Y WHERE Z LIKE 'HELLO%'

(i.e., used a constant instead of a variable) SQL Server did use the index correctly and did not do a table scan.

I got around this by rewriting my statement:

SELECT MAX(X) FROM Y (INDEX=MYINDEX) WHERE Z LIKE @MYVAR

in other words by manually specifying the index I had created on the Z column.

Hope this helps someone.

Subquery Woes; Hints ?

Feb 9, 2008

hi all,
I'm trying to run queries on relatively small tables (a few hundred thousand rows) with subqueries of counts per primary key columns as such:

(ColA in tableA is the primary key)

select * from tableA p
where exists (select 1 from ( select ColA, count(1) cnt
from TableA
group by ColA
having count(1)>1 ) t
where t.ColA= p.ColA)
order by some_col

my problem is that sqlserver 2005 sp5 does not materialize the internal subquery properly, or execute it beforehand and it gets confused as heck and pegs the CPUs at 100% forever.

What hints can I use to solve this issue?
I've tried to use ..... "with ...." to prepare/materialize the table upfront, no luck, one version of statement pegged one cpu at 100%, while the other statement pegged ALL cpu's at 100% -- don't remember which.

My only solution right now was to create these subqueries as PHYSICAL tables -- and this would solve the problem but that would entail creating a lot of un-necessary objects.

thanks much for any feedback!!

And/or Filter Field Not Enabled In The Group Filter Tab

Jan 26, 2006

Howdy,

I have a table that has a group. In this group, I want to filter by 2 different expressions, concatenated with an OR. BUT I can't change the "And/Or" column value for the first entry because it is grayed out. The column will automatically change to an OR value if both my expression column fields are the same (which I don€™t want) but if I put any other value in to the expression field of the second row, the "And/Or" field of the first row automatically changes to an AND.

PLEASE! How do I get the And/Or field "ungrayed" so I can change it to what I want?

The 2 filters I and using check the UserID = to the user, and the other is checking a count to get the Top N 1. (So just showing the current user and the top producer)
