Newly Created Witness Server Only Connects To One Of The Partners?
Apr 2, 2007
We've been running a mirrored database (using certificates since we don't have a domain) and it's all working well. Last week we decided to add a witness for automatic failovers, but for some reason I just can not get the witness to connect to the Partner2 server.
See screenshot here
Please help me troubleshoot this - I re-created the endpoints / users / certificates but it's still not working. Where can I get more information on what exactly the problem is? Can I test the endpoints somehow?
I am new to SQL Programming. I am learning the basics. I am trying to create a simple query like this -
SELECT Column_1, Column_2, Column_3, 10*Column_1 AS Column_4, 10*Column_2 AS Column_5,
-- I am not being able to understand how to do this particular step Column_1*Column_5 As Column_6
FROM Table_1 First 3 Columns are available within the Original Table_1 The Column_4 and Column_5 have been created by me, by doing some Calculations related to the original columns.
Now, when I try to do FURTHER CALCULATION on these newly created columns, then SQL Server does not allows that.
I was hoping that I will be able to use the Newly Created Columns 4 and 5 within this same query to do further more calculations, but that does not seems to be the case, or am I doing something wrong here ?
If I have to create a new column by the name of Column_6, which is actually a multiplication of Original Column_1 and Newly Created Column_5 "I tried this - Column_1*Column_5 As Column_6", then what is the possible solution for me ?
I have tried to present my problem in the simplest possible manner. The actual query has many original columns from Table_1 and many Calculated columns that are created by me. And now I have to do various calculations that involve making use of both these type of columns.
select col1, col2, col3, col4 from Table where col2=5 order by col1
I have a primary key on the column.The execution plan showing the clustered index scan cost 30% & sort cost 70%..When I run the query I got missing index hint on col2 with 95% impact.So I created the non clustered index on col2.The total executed time decreased by around 80ms but I didn't see any Index name that is using in the execution plan.After creating the index also I am seeing same execution plan
The execution plan showing the clustered index scan cost 30% & sort cost 70% but I can see the total time is reducing & Logical reads on that table is reducing.I am sure that index is useful but why there is no change in the execution plan?
I am getting ready to start a project where I am charged with moving out old data from production into a newly created historical DB. We have about 8 tables that are internal audit tables, that are big and full of old data. These tables are barely used and are taking up way too much space and time for maintenance.
I would like to create a way (SSIS?) to look at the date field in each of the 8 tables and copy out anything older than two years into my newly created history DB. Then deleting the older records from the source DB.
I don't know if SSIS is the best method to use. If it is, what containers to use to move over data, then how to do delete from source?
Can I do the mass deletes on my audit source tables without impacting performance/indexes/fragmentation?
I have a four tables called plandescription, plandetail and analysisdetail. The table plandescription has the columns DetailQuestionID which is the primary and identity column and a QuestionDescription column.
The table plandetail consists of the column PlanDetailID which the primary and identity column, DetailQuestionID which is the foreign key attribute of plandescription table and a planID column.
The third table analysisdetail consists of a analysisID which the primary and identity column, PlanDetailID which is the foreign key attribute of plandetail table and a scenario.
Below is the schema of the three tables
I have a two web form that will insert, update and delete data into these three tables in a two transaction. One web form will perform CRUD operations in plandescription and plandetail table. When the user inserts QuestionDescription and planid in this web form, I will insert the QuestionDescription Value in the plandescription table and will generate a DetailQuestionID value and this value is fed to the plandetail table with the planid. Here I will generate a PlanDetailID.
Once this transaction is done, I will show the second web form in which the user enters the scenario and this will be mapped with the plandescription using the PlanDetailID.
This schema cannot be changes as this is the client requirement. When I insert values I don’t have any problem. However when I update existing data, I need to delete existing PlanDetailID in the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID data for that DetailQuestionID and planID. This is because, the user will be adding or deleting a planID associated with the QuestionDescription.
Once I recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID and planID, I need to update the old PlanDetailID with the new PlanDetailID in the third table analysisdetail for the associated analysisID.
I created a #Temp table called #DetailTable to insert the values analysisID, planid and old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID so that I can have them in update statement once I delete the data from plandetail table for that PlanDetailID.
Then I deleted the plandetailid from the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID. During my recreation I fetched the new PlanDetailID’s created into another temp table called #InsertedRows
After this I am running a while loop to update the temp table #DetailTable with the newly created PlanDetailID for the appropriate planID’s. The problem is here. When I have the same number of planID’s for example 2 planID’s 1,2 I will have only two old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID for that planID and analysisID.But When I add a new PlanID or remove a existing planID I am getting null value for that newly added or deleted planID. This is affecting my update statement of analysisdetail table as PlanDetailID cannot be null.
I tried to remove the Null value from the #DetailTable by running the update statement of analysis detail in a while loop however its not working.
DECLARE @categoryid INT = 8 DECLARE @DetailQuestionID INT = 1380 /*------- I need the query to run for the below three data. Here i'm updating my planids that already exists in my database*/ DECLARE @planids VARCHAR(MAX) = '2,4,5'
hello, i have a problem in my sql. im using a stored procedure and i want to get the newly created id number to be used to insert in the other table.it works like:insert into table() values()select @id = (newly created id number) from tableinsert into table1() values(@id) something like that.
I am trying to execute three dts packages from a Job that I created. When creating the steps I am setting the Type To: Operating System Command(CmdExec).
The Command I am using is: dtsrun /S servername /E /dtsPackageName
For some reason whenever I try to run thes jobs it fails. Within this Job I have three steps. For each step I am using the same job but with a different package name. I have a trusted connection so my command should work just fine. What am I doing wrong. Can some please explain this process.

I had DTS the Northwind sample database from SqlServer 2000 to 2005. It's went ok and no errors. Then, I created a SP named upGetCustomer, bascially it queries the Customers table and list some of it's fields and order by CustomerId,CustomerName, Country decrementally. SP is so simple and has no errors.
Then, I created a SqlServer project in VS2005 using C#. Add store procedure class as below, using System; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.Data.SqlTypes; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server; public partial class StoredProcedures { [Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure] public static void Customers(string customerid) { using (SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection("context connection=true")) { sqlConn.Open(); SqlPipe sqlPipe = SqlContext.Pipe; SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter("@custId", SqlDbType.VarChar, 5); param.Value = customerid; SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(); sqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; sqlCmd.CommandText = "upGetCustomer"; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param); SqlDataReader rdr = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader(); SqlContext.Pipe.Send(rdr); } }
I had taken method of created SQLCLR from source in Microsoft website, but coding is mine, and hopes it is correct. I used SqlConnection string as 'context connection=true' which I still not quite sure what does it means, hopes it mean current connection I am using on my Windows authentication.
The project did compiled & deployed OK on the VS2005 side.
The problem is that when I tried to locate the assembly on the Sql Server 2005, but can't find it anywhere on Sql Server.
I did try complied and deloyed again, it keeps saying there is an error in deployment as customers assembly is already exist on the database. I then, tried to remove this assembly on the database using SQL script, drop assembly customers in the Northwind database but got error saying it does not exist. So where is it???

I have a table that I have created a table and desire to do some basic math by adding a few new columns. The problem is that i cant get this to work without create many new select statements. The new columns that I wish to add refer to other newly created columns. Is there a way I can do this with CTW or subqueries? Unless it is a best practice to chain out the logic for the newly created columns
I have an example from AdventureWorksDW since the data is very accessible. I can safely create EMP_TENURE and PTO_REMAINING is this select statement. I would then need to create a new select statement to define 'BONUS' and then another select statement to define 'NEW_COL1' and so on.
Im still pretty new at SQL and am trying to learn how to complete such a task using subqueries or CTE.
Hi! I have a piece of code that connects to the master database and uses the simple 'CREATE DATABASE MYDATABASE' statement to create a new database on an sql server 2005 express instance.
I then close that connection and try to open a new connection using my newly created database. I use integrated authentication in both cases. However, I get the following error: Cannot open database "MYDATABASE" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'DOMAINNAMEusername'.System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "MYDATABASE" requested by the login. The login failed.
I don't get this error all the time. I tried to run my code many times and it some times work. But in some cases it doesn't. The database is always created but some times I cannot connect to it. But again, if I wait a little and try again with the same database, the connection is made.
I know that my connections are opened and closed normally and they don't remain open. So I don't believe I reach the maximum number of available connections.
I also sometimes get this exception : A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.
I created a new database in SQL Server 2000, using the command "CREATE DATABASE ContactManager ON PRIMARY(NAME = ContactManager,FILENAME ='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataContactManager.mdf',SIZE = 5MB,MAXSIZE = 20MB,FILEGROWTH = 5MB)LOG ON(NAME = ContactManager,FILENAME = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataContactManager.ldf',SIZE = 2MB,MAXSIZE = 10MB,FILEGROWTH = 2MB)Go" Databse was successfully created and I created two tables also in it. Now when i try to create a new connection in Visual Web Developer 2005, I get the error message : "Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataContactManager.mdf" failed with the operating system error 5 (Acess is denied.). Cannot attatch the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataContactManager.mdf" as 'ContactManager'."
I have many new tables for which i need to write Insert,Update and delete triggers manually. Is there any way to generate triggers script which takes table name as a input parameter and print/generate trigger's script?
Why are the user databases that were created in the MSSQLSERVER default instance showing up in the newly created ALPHAONE instance? I'm successfully logging into the alphaone database as it shows as "DASAlphaOne,1xxxPport) at the top of the treeview in ssms. I'm logging in as sa and can edit anything.
The issue here is that all the user databases are shown and can even be edited. I created this instance in an effort to hide databases from whoever is not supposed to see.I was expecting a clean instance with only the system databases..Is there something that can be set to keep each instance's databases private into itself?
I guess this should be rather simple to answer but i just don't get how to do this. I just want to import some data from an Access mdb file into a SQL Server 2005 Database.
As I dont want to create all tables in Sql Server 2005 beforehand i'd like to create them out of my SSIS Package. Therefore i use the 'Execute SQL Task' in the control flow before stepping into the dataflow where only a oledb-source and an oledb-destination exist...
VERY simple... My problem is, that i can't select the table from the selectionlist in the oledb-destination because it does not exist before executing the package...
If i create the table by hand just to be able to select it, that does not help. because if everything is set up and then i delete the table (because it will be created by the package anyway) an error occurs before executing the package - in the validation phase:
Package Validation Error: "Invalid object name 'myToBeCreatedTable'".
Can't i create tables on the fly which i use then in my dataflow tasks?
Kind regards,
Wolfgang

After adding the Witness Server to the Mirror session, the Witness Connection state between the Mirror and Witness Connection is Disconnected and the state between Principal and Witness Connection is Connected.
The procedures defined in Books Online was used to setup Database Mirroring...when the Witness server was added to the Mirror session, only the alter database T-SQL statement was executed on the Principal server.
ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET WITNESS = 'TCP://<servername>:<port>'
After executing the above statement, a few seconds later the state between Principal and Witness Connection changed to Connected and the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected.
The Mirror session is not using Certificates, every server is on the same domain, using the same domain login account, and all servers have SP2 installed running Enterprise Edition.
Any idea's why the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected?
I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.
We have several SQL servers in our network. When we try to connect to any of these servers with SQL profiler, the connection is always made with the same server, irrespective of the servername we use. There is no default server name used in the setting of SQL profiler application.
Hi~! i use my computer to create a project for my UMPC(with Tablet PC system). i want to use SQL server compact 3.1 and VB2005 to finish the work.. i need to upload some data from UMPC to SERVER. How can i do? The UMPC can not connect to PC by ActiveSync. so how can i move the data?
The problem: One server sees the witness, one does not. If the dbs are active on the one that doesn't see the witness and I shut that server down everything works as it should. However, if the dbs are active on the server that sees the witness and I shut that one down the mirror does not take over because it can't see the witness and form a quorum. It throws Event ID 1438 every 20 seconds complaing "The server instance Witness rejected configure request...The reason 1451, and state3, can be used for diagnotics by Microsoft...."
The scenario: I finished setting up a mirror in a WORKGROUP, by going through the GUI and then at the choosing not to start the mirror. That allowed me to modify the NETBIOS names and change them to IP addresses in order to get around the FQDN requirement that I can't fulfill since the servers are in a workgroup. They are in the same subnet and can run SQL queries against each other.
When I query sys.database_mirroring from the database servers I get this on the good server: mirroring_witness_name mirroring_witness_state_desc ---------------------------------------------------------- TCP://155.17.92.63:5022 CONNECTED TCP://155.17.92.63:5022 CONNECTED
And this on the bad server: mirroring_witness_name mirroring_witness_state_desc ----------------------------------------------------- TCP://155.17.92.63:5022 DISCONNECTED TCP://155.17.92.63:5022 DISCONNECTED
here's are the results from sys.database_mirroring_witnesses database_name principal_server_name mirror_server_name safety_level safety_level_desc -------------- -------------------------- ------------------------- ------------ ------------------ dbadmin TCP://pscdaltpscom20:5022 TCP://155.17.92.65:5022 2 FULL dbtest TCP://pscdaltpscom20:5022 TCP://155.17.92.65:5022 2 FULL
Oddly, the server that I created the mirror from registered itself with it's NETBIOS name even though I told it to use an IP address. However, that's the one that is working properly. I think this might be a red herring.
Does anyone have any ideas why my second server can't communicate with the mirror? Any clarifications I can make? I have been completely unable to find a step-by-step guide to creating mirror databases outside of a domain...so if someone knows of one please point me that direction.
I am trying to connect to a sql server 2005 server using either windows auth or sql server auth but I can not. When I click on the connect button to connect to a server it never connects. I can not cancel once I press connect. It never times out after I press connect. I removed all registered servers that were registered previously. I have uninstalled all software that involved sql server (and sql2000) run a registry cleaner(not microsofts), installed the software to a new directory and still I can not connect to the sql2005 server (the only db).
Any ideas?
I am running Windows XP with latest services packs for both windows and sql server. I have visual studio 2005 installed on my machine and I have had sql express installed on it previously.
I am unable to add witness server to my mirror configuration. my error log is throwing error'Connection handshake failed. The certificate used by the peer is invalid due to the following reason: Certificate not found. State 89'.
Yes, I know synchronisation to alternate partners is deprecated in SQL2005 but....
In SQL2000 there is a Sync Partners tab in the publication properties dialog that allows you tick a checkbox for each co-publisher to be enabled as an alternate synchronisation partner. What is the equivalent in SQL2005?
I've set up replication in SQL2000 following these instructions http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321176 and it works. Now I'm trying to do the same thing in SQL2005 but I can't find a substitute for steps 10 & 11 in the section "Set Up the Alternate Synchronisation Partner". What's the answer?
I am getting this error while trying to setup mirroring. "Neither the partner nor the witness server instance for database "shop" is available. Reissue the command when at least one of the instances becomes available. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1431)"
I am just using principal and mirror server, there is no witness server. I have tried fully qualified name and ip for the servers also. I can connect from the principal server to the mirror server using the management studio and it also creates endpoints on prinicipal and witness. But then gives me an error that it cannot find the instance of the mirror server and if I try again it gives the error above. I can also telnet to port 5022.
I have used -T1400 as the startup parameter.
I did the backup and recovery based on this link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189053.aspx and the mirror server is in recovery mode now.
I have two 64bit SQL Server Std servers that will be principal and mirror. I also need to stand up a witness. I already understand that the witness can be any version of SQL Server, but can the witness server be 32bit given the principal and mirror are 64bit?
the Mirror Server is not connected to the Witness Server.
Mirror Server and Wtiness Server are instances on one server.
I get this error:
" 2007-06-28 17:08:12.77 spid23s The server instance Witness rejected configure request; read its error log file for more information. The reason 1451, and state 3, can be of use for diagnostics by Microsoft. This is a transient error hence retrying the request is likely to succeed. Correct the cause if any and retry."
In the SQL Profiler for the Witness Server I get "An error occurred while receiving data" Error 64.
In the witness server logs is nothing depending on this.
The connection between the witness and principal and the mirror and principal are all right. I have created User logins with certificates on the same way on all instances.
