I'm trying to kill a bunch of processes in SQL 6.5 and I can't. I'm running the only machine with SQL tools installed on it (the server) and it won't let me kill them. I try the GUI screens and the Kill statement in ISQL_w. Is there any way around this?
I've stopped the SQL Server and rebooted the NT Server. Is there anyway I can get rid of these processes. They are locking some tables and keeping me from inserting data within my code. Very frustrating.
Thanks
Hi all,
I have SQL Server 7.0 with SP2 on it and I am not able to kill one of the SPID's who is running a SELECT Statement.
When I saw in the current activity in EM I see the STATUS as ROLLBACK, COMMAND as SELECT, APPLICATION as MS SQLEM-DATATOOLS, WAITTIME as 5375 and WAITTYPE as CXPACKET..
I also tried to reboot the machine of that particular SPID , but it still shows up in the Enterprise Manager.
Can anyone tell me how to kill this process and how to get around this Problem
Any Ideas,
Thanks in Advance

Hi!
After I killed maintenance process (57) in the current activity window and run ‘kill 57 with statusonly’ I got message: ‘SPID 57: Estimated rollback completion: 100%. Estimated time remaining: 0 sec.’
When I reopened current activity window I still see that SPID 57 is runable.
Then I run select*from
sysprocesses where SPID = 57
It also reports that process status is runable.
What is the problem?
How can I remove (and should I) this record from masterdb.
Thank you,
Natalia
Hi Peepz,
Im just a newbie using SQL Server anyway i noticed in my present company that most of the process/Stored Procedure that are being executed or connection that was being made by the application is not being terminated or disconnected. they use very large IO and CPU resources making the server slow or sometimes hang.(well that was my diagnostics). i try to kill them one by one but it seems endless process is redundant. to cut my problem short im thinking of having an application that would automatically kill all this unwanted process but ofcourse i should specify the parameter which process to kill. is this possible? i saw the KILL statement in the online books but it seems uncomplete with what i wanted to accomplish.
Thanks all

Hi,
Could anyone tell me why I am not able to kill processes even with kill spid. I had scheduled some db backups through DB Maintenance. All of them are running for days together when I tried to kill them spid. It still does not get killed. Can anyone tell me why
I have SQL Server 7.0 and I am not able to kill one of the SPID's who is running a SELECT Statement and showing as sleeping.
When I saw in the current activity in EM I see the STATUS as sleeping
COMMAND as SELECT, APPLICATION as Microsoft Transaction server, WAITTIME as 7877 and WAITTYPE as EXCHANGE and CPU 10074
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I'm having a problem killing a process in SQL 7.0. I have a spid that has been around for a couple of weeks! I try to remove that process by right clicking and selecting 'Kill Process' but nothing happens. The process originated when I deleted large amounts of data from a logging table. NOw I can not remove the process. I'm concerned that this might indicate the database is getting corrupted.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance
I executed xp_cmdshell command.
More than 24 hours this process still running.
I tried killing this process with enterprise manager and query analyser, both
gave me a message saying its successfully killed. But when i do a sp_who,
the process still their executing.
how can I kill this process that's running xp_cmdshell
thanks
Hi!
I have a small problem , but it's still a problem.
I have a SQL Server Agent job that runs a .cmd file. This CMD is logged to a textfile.
This process is locked, waiting for me to type a password, but I have nowhere to type that pass.
What I want to do is kill the process that i locking the logfile, because since the logfile is locked, the job cannot be started again (and it's a scheduled job).
The jobs status is 'Not Running'.
I have solved the problem by making the cmd write to another logfile, so the schedule will work, but the file is still locked, and I don't want to restart the server since it's a productionserver.
How to I find the process that is initialized from SQL Agent, and kill it?
Thanks!

I have a query to refer to the data source in as400 with ODBC 'iSeries Access for Windows ODBC data source' and a linked server with 'oledb for ODBC driver' in SQL2005 (9.0.2047)
Now we got 2 problems,
1. When we refer to the view with openquery e.g select * from openquery (abc, 'select * from dates')
This query continue to run without ending. In Activity monitor, we found that it is waiting for resource ole db
2. Since the process continue to run without ending, I kill the process in activity monitor or by command 'kill'. It shows the status 'KILLED/ROLLBACK' and it returns 'SPID 197: transaction rollback in progress. Estimated rollback completion: 0%. Estimated time remaining: 0 seconds.' in 'kill 197 with STATUSONLY'
In problem 1, I found some ppl encountered the same problem (waiting for resource oledb) with openquery to different data source e.g. vfp, oracle.
In problem 2, we can't restart the sql server for clear the unkillable process
Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
How do I "KILL" all user connections in one go?
I need to perform a daily restore and have to manually kill multiple
user connections, its very time consuming. Is there an easier way?
Id be grateful if you can help me!
Many thanks,
Lauryn
I have a user who is Business owner of a database that is transactional.
At times some of here staff will be the leadblocker.
She has requested that she be allowed the abiity to KILL spids that are blocking her remaining users. All have blessed this process and I havve been tasked to create a way for this to be accomplished.
Is this as simple as allowing this user a permission or is it more in depth.
Hi,
I am using SQL Server 7.0. We have set up a task which needs exclusive use of database 'EMS_DB' . How do I schedule a task to run kill all processes in 'EMS_DB' just before this task. Any TSQL scripts for killing all precesses
for a user database?
Thanks in advance,

Hello:
I am working with an application unde mssql 6.5 ,sp4. We have a separate
database for reporting on a different box. Each night we load a backup into
the database from the production database.
I set up a stored procedure to kill all users connected to this reporting
database just before the load.
THe job looks like this under scheduled tasks as a cmdexec:
isql -U sa -P -d master -Q"exec killusersall_sp 7" -o
F:MSSQLatchjobs
evdb.log
This job died with the following message:
Process Exit Code 1. ...[-b On error batch abort] [-O use Old ISQL
behavior disables the following]<EOF> batch processingAuto console width
scalingWide messagesdefault errorlevel is -1 vs 1 [-? show syntax summary
(this screen)]
The killusersall is paramaterize sp that I pass the dbid of the database
for whom I want all users killed. I need to put the stored procedure in the
master because I egt the spid from sysprocesses.
I do not understand why the job died. Does it matter if I named the stored
procedure as sp_killusersall instead of killusersall_sp which I used.
Can any one advise me about how to get the job to run? Any assistance will
be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

How can I determine whether a process a system or user?
Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order. I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.
I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista. If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine. If I specify the test database in app_data folder, I get the following exception:-

I am taking a guess it's somerthing to do with access issues, but can't find anything out on searching the forums etc..
I am setup as an administrator, running VWD as an administrator and for the record, SQL Server Management Studio express works fine.
Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.
As a starter i tried to modify and translate the Personal Website Starters kit from the VS2005Team SDK.
When i'm working on the machine were it's installed , under debugging, all works great.
But when i try to develop from my laptop, via RDP on the develop machine, i've got this message and can not debug (connect to the SQLxpres Server)
Does anybody now a solution ??

Hello everyone,
I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.
Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:
in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:
"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.
I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?
All this happens on local machine.
Thanks to everybody who can help!
Jeff
when I try to connect to an mdf as a power user,

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?
I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.
My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.
No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€śFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:
MS XP (SP2)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42

I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?
Hi,
Looking through the archives, I didn't see any articles that specifically addressed the problem, so here it is:
SQL 7.0, NT4SP6, 2G ram, 4x
I've got a user process as follows:
Status: ROLLBACK
Command: SELECT
Application: Enterprise Manager
Wait Type: EXCHANGE
Login time: 06/25/00 4:07:05AM
Last batch: 06/25/00 4:07:20 AM
The last TSQL command batch is a correlated subquery with grouping...
Apparently it hung and the user quit ungracefully.
No other processes are blocking it, but periodically it blocks other processes, including some index maintenance I need to perform.
I have tried to kill it with Enterprise Manager and with the KILL [id] command. Neither have worked.
Mgmt is reluctant to bounce the database, as am I.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

High everybody,
I have a set of winforms (.NET 2.0 assemblies) ( 6 total ) that each tries to open a connection to the same Database file using the same connection string. In the connection string, UserInstance is set to true.
If each winform is started manually after opening the session on the computer, the connection to the database performs well for every winform.
If the same winforms are automatically started at the opening of the user session, the the following error is reported by each application when trying to open the connection :
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
The only way to overcome this problem is :
to stop the winforms, to stop the SQLExpress service, to kill the remaining sqlserv.exe running task, then restarting SQLExpress service, and finally manualy start the winforms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm getting this error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A floating point exception occurred in the
user process. Current transaction is canceled. at
System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataRow[] dataRows, DataTableMapping
tableMapping) at ...etc etc
when updating one particular table, but not when updating another using nearly the same code.
I've searched and searched on the inet, but with no joy.
Microsoft have several different manifestations of it, under various
different circumstances, but the solutions all seem to involve
installing SP4, which by the looks of it is a massive procedure that
you have to go to university to be competent to do.
In any case, according to Enterprise Manager, I already have SP4
included. On the other hand, the one file of mine I checked the date of
against MS's hotfix file list was 2002 not 2003, so who knows?
My Service Manager is v 8.00.760, and it's the Development Edition (ie it's all running on the one machine).
According to the info on sqlDataAdaptor.update, the
sqlError that gets returned as part of the sqlException contains
fields Class, which gives the seriousness of the error, and State,
which identifies the exact error. I get Class=16 (user-fixable)
and State=1, which we have to go to SQL Books Online to discover the
meaning of. SQL BO probably sounded like a good idea to W.Gates,
but it took me half an hour to get anywhere near finding out what that
'1' meant. When I did, it was (guess): 'A floating point
exception occurred in the user process. Current transaction is
canceled.' !!!
Can anyone please tell me what exactly might be causing the error?
