I am running a process which commits every 30 seconds or so on one
machine and another user is trying to perform a small update at the
same time on the one of the tables whose data is modified by the first
process.
I accept that the two second process may get blocked at times by the
first but expect that to only happen rarely due to the likelihood of
both processes trying to update the very same row in a large table.
Other users are also on line at the same time performing updates
across the database.
What I have witnessed though was the second process being blocked by
the first (confirmed by looking in enterprise manager) and REMAINING
BLOCKED EVEN AFTER A COMMIT in the first process!!
My big problem is that I have only seen this happen once on a customer
site and have not been able to reproduce it myself to provide any
further information.
The application is set to use row level locking and is also in read
uncommited mode.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We have a reporting job that will query the mainDB and do so come calculation and insert into reportingDB, there are a lot of blocking and performance issue when it query the mainDB so we have plan to read the secondary replica and do the processing there later to insert back into primaryDB (reportingDB).. for this we have implemented linked server but it gets timeout, I do not want to change the remote query timeout on server level so is there anyway to do this, Any one making use of secondary replica to do get the data by job?
I have the following stored procedure to test scope of variables
alter proc updatePrereq @pcntr int, @pmax int as begin
[Code] ....
In the above script @i is declare in the if block only when the @pcntr value is 1. Assume the above stored procedure is called 5 times from this script
declare @z int set @z = 1 declare @max int set @max = 5 while @z <= @max begin exec dbo.updatePrereq @z, @max set @z = @z + 1 end go
As i said earlier `@i` variable exists only when `@pcntr` is `1`. Therefore when i call the stored procedure for the second time and so forth the control cannot enter the if block therefore @i variable wouldn't even exist. But the script prints the value in `@i` in each iteration, How comes this is possible should it throw an error saying `@i` variable does not exist when `@pcntr` values is greater than `1`?
We do not use message retention in our application.
However today i dicovered messages still sitting in a queue, on further investigation i found that the messages had been processed, the problem was that i had mistakenly altered a queue with rentention ON earlier.
So the messages on the queue were simply retatined messages.
But i have 2 questions:
1.Is there a way to "delete" these retained messages without ending the conversation, we use permanant conversations so ending the conversation is a last resort.
2.Why is the message status of the retaitned messages 0 ?
BOL : From the topic "Message Retention"
"For queues that specify retention, the RECEIVE command sets the status of received messages to 1 rather than deleting the message."
However my retained messages have a status of 0 ? Also i have confirmed that new not yet received messages have a status of 1.
BOL : From topic "RECEIVE (Transact-SQL) "
" Message Status
0=Ready1=Received message2=Not yet complete3=Retained sent message
"
But from my testing retained = 0 and Ready = 1, is this a mistake in BOL or am i missing something ?
Hi was wondering whether it is possible to log somewhere outside SB that there are messages in the transmission_queue because the Target queue was disabled.
I was testing this scenario:
try to send messages on a disabled queue and log the problem.
But the transmission_status from the trasmission_queue is always empty.
This is the code that I tried to execute between the send and the commit and after the commit:
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION .....
SEND ON CONVERSATION ......
if select count(*) from sys.transmission_queue <> 0 BEGIN
set @transmission_status = (select transmission_status from sys.transmission_queue where conversation_handle=@dialog_handle);
if @transmission_status = ''
--Successful send - Exit the LOOP
BEGIN
UPDATE Mytable set isReceivedSuccessfully = 1 where ID = @IDMessageXML;
BREAK;
END
ELSE
raiserror(@transmission_status,1,1) with log;
END
ELSE
BEGIN
UPDATE [dbo].[tblDumpMsg] set isReceivedSuccessfully = 1 where ID = @IDMessageXML;
BREAK;
END
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
As I wrote before the @transmission_status variable is always empty and I have the same result even if I put the code after the commit transaction!
Maybe what I'm trying to reach has no sense?
With the event notification I can notify when the queue is disable because the receive rollsback 5 times but what if by mistake the target queue is disabled outside the SB environment? I can I catch it and handle it properly?

Hi We are facing an acute situation in our web-application. Technology is ASP.NEt/VB.NET, SQL Server 2000.
Consider a scenario in which User 1 is clicking on a button which calls a SQL stored procedure. This procedure selects Group A of records of Database Page1.
At the same time if User 2 also clicks the same button which calls same SQL stored procedure. This procedure selects Group B of records of Database Page1.
So, its the same Page1 but different sets of records. At this moment, both the calls have shared locked on the Page1 inside the procedure.
Now, in call 1, inside the procedure after selecting Group A of records, the next statement is and update to those records. As soon as update statement executes, SQL Server throws a deadlock exception as follows :
Transaction (Process ID 78) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction
We are able to understand why its happening. Its because, Group A and Group B of records are on the same Page1. But both the users have shared lock on the Page1. So, no one gets the exclusive lock in records for update, even though, the records are different.
How can I resolve this issue? How can I get lock on wanted rows instead of entire page?
Hi, I have set of 2 DTS packages, one of which calls the other by forming a command-line (dtexec) using a Execute Process task.
From the parent package-> Execute Process Task-> dtsexec /F etc... /<pkg variable> = "servername"
Each of the parent and the called package have a variable: "User::DWServerSQLInstance" which is mapped to the SQL server connection manager server name property using an expression. The outer package has the above variable and so does the inner called package (which gets assigned through the command line from the outerpackage call to inner)
I "sometimes" get the following error:
OnError,I4,TESTDOMAdministrator,ACDWAggregation,{A1F8E43F-15F1-4685-8C18-6866AB31E62B},{77B2F3C7-6756-46EB-8C01-D880598FB4B3},5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,-1073659822,0x,The variable "User::DWServerSQLInstance" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list.
Help would be appreciated!
I have seen other posts on this but, not able to relate the solution to my scenario.
Package works fine when run from BIDS, DTExec, dtexecui. When I schedule it, It get these random errors. (See below)
The main culprit is a variable called "RecordsetFileDIR" which is set using an expression. (@[User::_ROOT] + "RecordSets\")
A number of other variables use this as part of their expression and as they all fail, pretty much everything dies.
I have installed SP1 (Not Beta) on server. Package uses config files to set the value of _ROOT.
The error does not always seem to be with this particular variable though. Always a variable that uses an expression but errors are random. Also, It will run 3 out of 10 times without a problem. I am the only person on the server at the time.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Crispin

I want to lock a table so others cannot lock it but able to read it inside transactions.
The coding I need is something like this: set implicit_transactions on begin transaction select * from table1 with (tablock, holdlock) update table2 set field1 = 'test' commit transaction commit transaction
I have tried the coding above, it won't prevent others from locking table1.
So, I changed the tablock to tablockx to prevent others from locking table1. But this will also prevent others from reading table1. So, how can I lock table1 so others cannot lock it but still able to read it?
I've written a couple blocks but I have no idea when it comes to this one. Create a PL/SQL block to retrieve the last name and department ID if each employee from the EMPLOYEES table for those employees whose EMPLOYEE_ID is less than 114. From the values retreived from the employees table, populate two PL/SQL tables, one to store the records of the employee last names and the other to store the records of their department IDs. Using a loop, retreive the employee name information and salary infromation from the PL/SQL tables and doisplay it in the window, using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. Display these details for the first 15 employees in the PL/SQL tables. Any help helps
If I've got a 64-bit OS such as Windows XP Professional x64 Edition running and I have the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, is AES permittable or does TRIPLEDES still need to be used?
I have been experiencing a lot of blocking activity in my database. My trace results show that the following extended stored procedures sp_prepexec and sp_cursorfetch are executed by both the user causing the block and the user tha is blocked. Any ideas as to how to rectify this situation will be appreciated.
HI, i'm trying to execute some sql using the Try.. Catch blocks.
Following code does not execute in Catch Block
Begin begin try insert into dbo.Test values (1,'aaa') -- here we are inserting int value in identity field... END TRY Begin catch PRINT 'TEST' SELECT ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber, ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity, ERROR_STATE() as ErrorState, ERROR_PROCEDURE() as ErrorProcedure, ERROR_LINE() as ErrorLine, ERROR_MESSAGE() as ErrorMessage; END Catch End GO
Whereas the following block works fine and the Catch block executes.
Begin begin try Select 1/0 --This causes an error. END TRY Begin catch PRINT 'TEST' SELECT ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber, ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity, ERROR_STATE() as ErrorState, ERROR_PROCEDURE() as ErrorProcedure, ERROR_LINE() as ErrorLine, ERROR_MESSAGE() as ErrorMessage; END Catch End GO
Hi there! I need such thing: I have a data in Table A. When I get this data, I also increment this data by one, what I want is block Table A in order to other people will not get access to data.. I think about transactions, but are transactions reaaly blocks a table's content? P.S. For example in MySQL there are Lock table command for blocking table for reading/writing. I need such thing/ Thanks
sometimes a process in my SQL Server 2005 (upd 2) is blocked from itself. If I find in monitor it wait for a lock_M_Sch_M on a temporary table as you can see from
select * from sys.dm_tran_locks where request_session_id=51 and request_status <> 'GRANT'
resorce type : OBJECT
resource id : 218899226
request mode : Sch-M
request status WAIT
request_session id : 51
request life time : 33554432
or from
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks WHERE SESSION_ID=51
hi there, to retrieve more then one record with a cursor we can use block cursor, so we have to set the cursor attribute SQL_ATTR_ROWSET_SIZE to some number...i am not getting any code example on this. do anyone know this???
one of our study group members noticed a strange behavior and has the following question. Any thoughts are appreciated. I am unable to understand as to why the CATCH block is not executed when an INSERT is made On table T3 which is dropped after the first transaction.
The severity of Insert into t3 values (3) is Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Invalid object name 't3'.
BOL says TRY€¦CATCH constructs do not trap the following conditions: Warnings or informational messages with a severity of 10 or lower. Errors with severity of 20 or higher that terminate the SQL Server Database Engine task processing for the session. If an error occurs with severity of 20 or higher and the database connection is not disrupted, TRY€¦CATCH will handle the error.
Here is the script.
use tempdb go
create table t1 (a int) create table t2 (b int) create table t3 (c int)
Begin tran
Insert into t1 values (1) Insert into t2 values (2) Insert into t3 values (3)
IF @@error <> 0 Rollback tran else commit tran -------------------------------------------------------------
Select * from t1 Select * from t2 Select * from t3 -------------------------------------------------------------
Insert into t1 values (1) Insert into t2 values (2)
save tran insertNow
Insert into t3 values (3) commit tran insertNow End try
Begin Catch
IF (XACT_STATE()) = -1 BEGIN PRINT 'The transaction is in an uncommittable state.' + ' Rolling back transaction.' ROLLBACK TRANSACTION insertNow END;
-- Test if the transaction is active and valid. IF (XACT_STATE()) = 1 BEGIN PRINT 'The transaction is committable.' + ' Committing transaction.' COMMIT TRANSACTION insertNow END
I don't know MS-SQLserver internal system at all. I 've just used Oracle a couple years ago and so in some cases (e.g using TP-monitor MTS or Tuxedo) you can switch off the implicit transaction by using the option AUTOCOMMIT ON/OFF.
How can switch off the implicit transaction system on MS-SQLServer ?
Iam Executing the sp logic.suppose incase if any problem occurs inbetween execution(NO SPACE,communication failure,log full) data is getting commited partially insteady of rollbacking entire transaction.
CREATE procedure RBI_Control_sp as begin
set nocount on --Checking the count before truncating exec fin_ods..count_sp
--Truncating the Table exec fin_ods..trun_sp
--Data Transfer exec fin_ods..RBI_Data_Transfer_sp
--Checking the count after Data transfer exec fin_ods..count_sp
--temp table Table population,Fetching data from the fin_ods[erp Table] exec FIN_wh..RBI_SPExecution_sp
I've a complex stored procedure, that makes a lot of insert, update,delete and so on.I would like to make some commits durint this sp, but of course theyare not "real" commit because who call the sp could decide for arollback.But I know that this commit has to be real. In fact, the transactionlog grows really too much during the execution.Is there a way to force a commit durint a sp ?thank you very much!
I have an SSIS package that iterates through a thousand or so download text files, parses them and inserts the results into a database via a Stored procedure and an OLE DB Command.
For the most part this process works without any issues, yet I keep obtaining random errors on a DT_STR (500) column. I have reviewed the data extensively and this column - which is the same across all of the rows - does not appear to be any different.
The rest of the rows before and after the error rows all insert properly but these rows consistently fail in the OLE DB task with the following error:
[OLE DB Command [35549]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. The RPC name is invalid.".
When I inserted the rows into an errors table, I found that the error code, -1071607698, is not defined and the only thing I could find online was a reference to:
DTS_E_COMMANDDESTINATIONADAPTERSTATIC_UNAVAILABLE
which appears to be a DTS error and not an SSIS error.
I have added tasks to explicitly verify the length of the field and that field actually inserts without any issues into the error table - which has the exact same column definition as the target table.
I am at a complete loss as to how to proceed - does anybody have an idea?
when doing an 'update table set field1 = 'N',using sql query analyzer, is the update committed immediately? If it isn't commited can a 'rollback' be executed, and what is the format of the rollback command?
I'm using an SQL Express database over a network, using a C# Express program. So I had to use pure SQL connections and commands instead of using Data Sources (couldn't find a way for it to work). In the program / DB I've got a couple of Master - Detail situations. Something like:
Product:
-----------
productID
(...)
Acessories:
----------------
acessID
(...)
ProductAcess:
--------------------
productID
acessID
So when inserting a new Product, I'll have to first insert the product (with product name, price, and so on) and once I get the product ID from the insert command, I'll insert the ProductAcess rows. I've found a problem in this though. If for some reason the insert of the product is successful, but the insert of ProductAcess fails, I've got a big mess in hands because I'll have a row in Product with no rows in ProductAcess (which shouldn't happen in my program scenario). I could solve this by deleting all rows from the DB which connected in someway to the product that failed to insert, but would be far better and correct if I used a commit command at the end of the insert commands to make sure only the right data would be inserted (saving time and resources). I use this all the time in Oracle databases, but don't know if it is possible in SQL Express... Is it? How? Thanks
My data flow has several transformations: 1. Search an employee, if the employee already exists, update it, otherwise insert it. 2. Once the new employee is created, i have to get its id (with another search transformation )to update another table with it. This id is an autonumeric , thats the reason i have to get it once the record is inserted.
At this momment this second search transformation to get the assigned id for the new reacord doesnt find any employee... i suppose its because these new data is not commited in the database....
