Hello everybody,
I need to know if Microsoft always officially maintains Microsoft Sql
Server 7.
My society is an editor also, if Microsoft does not maintains SQL7 we
must say taht ou new versions are only compatible with MSSQL2K or
more.
Thanks for your answers
Best regards

I want to prepare for the TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - Implementation and Maintenance exam. I want to know that how can i tackle it in the proper way. Can somebody please give me tips & tricks or study guide?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:
USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.
Thanks.

I have a query that executes just fine except that it won't recognize varchar(255) ( or any other value within the () ) and if I leave it off like this: varchar, then it executes but it leaves that value as 1 and that is just not very useful for my purposes. This also happens with anything else that requires () to add length such as char(), or nvarchar(), etc... Any ideas?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.
I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.
1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?
2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?
3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?
4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?
I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.
Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.
5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?
Hello,

Why to upgrade for Sql Server 2008
In VS 2005, when we choose database connection, we can choose one of the above. My question is in what situations should we choose MS SQL Server Database File (SqlClient), and when should we choose Microsoft SQL Server?
I want to deploy a standalone desktop application with a backend database. Which backend database should I should and which of the above connection should I choose?
Thanks very much for your information.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I work for a financial company where we send out lots of correspondence to clients on a daily and monthly basis. This would typically be something like a financial report, account statements, etc. We've decided to use PDF as the format which these documents must be in when our clients receive them.
Our marketing and sales departments designs the templates of these documents using Microsoft Word. They can save these MS Word documents in the Word XML format (either 2003 or 2007). We want it in XML format, because it is text based, and we can therefore string replace the content to update the template with a client€™s information. In the same token RTF would also do, but the file size when converted to RTF is a problem.
What I am looking for is a way to convert this XML into PDF using something like XSL-FO - i.e. we do not want to use the Word Interopt on our Production Server, firstly it is a little slow and secondly the production server is unmanned and we cannot allow a WinWord.EXE process to not close successfully for some or other reason.
I've tried a number of companies' evaluation software to try and achieve this (converting the WordML to PDF via XSL-FO), but so far no luck.
Does anybody know of a stylesheet out there with which I will be able to achieve this? Or an alternative method of converting MS Word files into PDF without using Word to do it?
Thank you in advance.

I have deleted a database from SQL Enterprise Manager. Anyone know a way to clear that database from my maintenance plan? I do not wish to just uncheck the deleted database or create a new database plan.
Thanks!
My index maintenance job that was setup through Enterprise manager database maintenance fails with the following notice. It ran great for several weeks then it started failing. Any suggestions!!
sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
Hi, anyone who administering the pretty big database not less than 30 Gb with the average number of rows in a table about 2M and more, please share you experience with maintenace of such a db. Esspecially i'm interesting in:
1) Indexes maintenance (When and how - just regular dbcc, maint. plan or some script to split the job twice and so on.)
2) Remove unused space from db. (not major)
The serever works 24*7, and it's transactional environment. SQL 7 sp3 on claster.
I run the sp. to rebuild all the indexes it takes about 2-3 hrs to determin the objects withfragmentation less than 80% and actually rebuilding, during this process the users experience the performance (specially for update/insert) problem. It looks like I need to change the plan or strategy to do this. Any thoughts appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hello All
I have been given a SQL Server 2000 database to look after which has been set up with a Database maintenance plan. The plan is set to backup the complete database and the transaction log. The backups are written to the local disk correctly but the plan is also set to remove any backup files (both database .BAK and transaction log .TRN) that are over one week old. Complete database .BAK files are written daily and the .TRN are written every hour daily. The .BAK files are removed ok automatically but the .TRN files are not - they are just slowly filling the disk. There does not seen to be anything different between the way the main database and the transaction log is set up in the maintenance plan.
I would be very grateful for any ideas
I am looking for opinions of setting up a database maintenance plan. I want to know if it is safe to trust the wizard and let it set up all of the jobs, or if it is better to write your own procedures to handle backups and maintenance as in 6.5. All sugestions and opinions are welcome. Thanks.

I have a strange thing in one of our Maintenance plans.
On the first tab where you check which databases you're including in the plan I have (say my database name is CAT) a 'CAT' and 'cat' database listed and the one chosen is 'cat'. However my database in all other views shows up in all caps. (even when I do an sp_helpdb)
The backups look like they're working, etc. but it just seems weird. If I go to create a new plan it only gives me the one option 'CAT' which is really what's there. I'm new and I'm thinking the database at one time was 'cat' and this is when the maintenance plan was created. Then it was renamed to 'CAT' and there's the two db's showing in the old mainenance plan.
What would you do? Create a new plan with "CAT" and just get rid of the old one with the weird 'cat' and 'CAT'?
Any other suggestions or ideas on what happened..

SQL7: I have added a Maintenance Plan to backup to 4mm dat tape the master and msdb SQL databases as well as another database relative to our application called WISE. This works fine; however, it appears to always append to the media as opposed to overwriting (preferred). Any help would be appreciated.....

Help !!
I am running a database of 500-600mb 20-30% of which is new data daily (5 day old data being deleted as part of the nightly maintenance) And my nightly maintenance is regularly taking an hour plus.
CheckDB, New Alloc, Catalog, re-indexing and dumps are performed nightly (2am ish) and as the system is in constant use I cannot afford such a long task. I can't use weekly dumps/checkDB as we use transaction log replication and these are dumped every minute. I really need some suggestions on how I can improve matters. The deletion of old data in particular is taking a long time due to the use local variables but is there a faster way to do this :
OPEN tnames_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM tnames_cursor INTO @connectionid
WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
IF (@@fetch_status <> -2)
BEGIN
Select @dRent = DeliveredRetention from ControlDB..connectiontable
where ControlDB..connectiontable.Cid = @connectionid
Delete from MyDB..Table where Cid = @cid
and DateDelivered != NULL
and Datediff(hh,MyDB..Table.DateDelivered,getdate()) >= (@dRent*24)
END
FETCH NEXT FROM tnames_cursor INTO @connectionid
END
DEALLOCATE tnames_cursor
GO
These jobs have also started running out of locks and deadlocking on occaision which seems odd as the system has 10000 available (escalating at 2000)
Any Suggestions would be very much appreciated

hi,
I have SQL 2000 ProductionBox.It is in 24x7 environment.
We need to maintain data only for 30 days.
Even if I schedule deletetion of data on daily basis - SQL will take the lock as data we receive is too huge.
Secondly,Since the indexes are heavily used - defrag don't work for them.the only option I think I am left with is to rebuild the indexes.Though in SQL2K - index creation is on fly - but here we are talking of table sizes of 8-10GB.
I suggested my Boss to bring down the box for few hours for maintenance.but he insists that since this is 24x7 - Box can never be brought down.
I am finding it hard to convice him and do my job.
Any idea on how to rebuild the indexes & how to delete this many records(avg.50k per day-data of xml type)without creating a block is highly appreciated...or how to convince my boss to give me a window for maintenance...:)
TIA
SQLMaint is run once a week for the following a database on SQL 6.5. The following is the information for the database when I see it through the Enterprise Manager:
Data Size 650 MB
Data Space Available 0.00
Log Size 360
Log Space Available 359.99
The following is the syntax built by the DATABASE Maintenance Wizard:
SQLMAINT.EXE -D CATS -CkDB -CkAl -CkTxtAl -CkCat -UpdSts -RebldIdx 100 -Rpt E:MSSQLLOGCATS_maint.rpt
It runs once a week and takes about 40 mins and runs successfully. Last it run was 4/11/99 at 2:00 AM
The result set I get from sp_spaceused is as follows:
database_name database_size unallocated space
CATS 1010.00 MB 273.96 MB
reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
753710 KB 280360 KB 426494 KB 46856 KB
What I don’t understand is how come the data space available shows 0 in Enterprise Manager? Shouldn't SQLMAINT, which is run once a week, allow for correct information to be reported?
Could someone please explain.
Thanks
