I am not showing any sql objects when trying to monitor my sql server through perfmon. This is the situation when running NT perfmon or SQL perfmon locally on the server or from a workstation through the network. I have found some tech net articles but they all say that the ojects should exist locally on the server. Any ideas?
Thanks David
Have a sql 2000 db which I have no say in design, just make it run. My typical sql counters such as system queue, and buffer cache and cache hit ratio are all good. If I need to monitor disk activity (mainly how fast my data is being read, how long the user is waiting for that data for both reads and inserts), what are the best counters for this, and what value should throw up a red flag.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL 7.0 environment with 5 servers running SP1. I use an NT4.0 workstation with a copy of 7.0 installed on it as my workstation. When I run performance monitor with SQL 7.0 not running on my workstation, I don't see the SQL Server counters. When I have my local SQL 7 copy running on my workstation, they show up, but only when I have my workstation selected for monitoring; when I select another server, they don't show up. Anyone have a suggestion or work-around for this? Makes it kinda hard to monitor my servers remotely...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a sql6.5 sp4 on nt sp4, the counters for sqlserver are not listed in performance monitor when I use [start][programs][administrative tools][performance monitor] and choose the sqlserver machine. I also get flat lines on the counters that are built in to sqlserver performance monitor and can't add any counters, as none are available. It should not be flat lined as there are 200 users on the system. How do I get the sqlserver counters in perfmon? If a reinstall is necessary, should it be NT or SQL?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running a % Processor Time on _Total (all processors) on my sql server. In perfmon, the graph of the processor will be going along, stop and then continue on, leaving gaps in the line on the graph. I do get an occasional message telling me there was a problem with the "sampling."
I'm wondering if the stop/start behavior is an indicator of some type of performance challenge. These "gaps" in the processor line do correspond to decreased performance but I can't correlate them to anything. If I look at Current Activity/Process info it doesn't look like anything unusual is going on.
Any ideas?
Hi
I have to give a report out stating the Min,Avg & max values of the memory utilization .
Now when I run the perfmon it shows me the values , but these are dynamic , I have to get theses values at the end of 8 hours of the shift ....
How can that be done , does anyone have any link to some tutorials or some explanation plz
Thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedAre reports you can generate when obtaining data from a perfmon log based on an average or cumulative data. If on an average how is the average calculated?

At my company we recently needed to reload SQL 7 on one of our production servers. We then loaded SQL SP2 on it. Later we realized that none of the perfmon counters are showing up for SQL. I tried the whole unlodctr and lodctr routine but it didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Best,

I am working on a machine with SQL server 6.5 that is missing the SQL Server performance monitor counters that link in with NT`s performance monitor. The performance monitor itself seems to function ok. But I can`t check SQL server`s performance using the built in objects.
I`m told, a few months ago, this same problem was occuring. At that time, they did a reinstall of SQL and the counters remained missing. So they rebuilt the server from scratch, starting with a new OS install (NT server 4.0). The counters were there after the rebuild.
About that time, they were also encountering database corruptions (page allocation problems), that went away after the rebuild.
Now, the performance monitor counters for SQL have mysteriously disappeared again. Also, data corruption errors are beginning to show up.
I`ve searched MS knowledgebase and found some suggestions. I`ve tried re-registering using the commandline option of "RegistryRebuild=Yes" on setup and I`ve also checked the permissions on the registry keys. Nothing has helped so far.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and is there anything to do besides rebuild the computer? I don`t want to bother rebuilding if it`s just going to fail in a few months anyway.
Some other characteristics about the system. It`s a huge database (9Gb) and there is disk compression on the data device. I am now in the process of removing compression, because I`m sure it can`t be helping SQL.
Thanks in advance,

Ok, I'm really stumped on this one and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I was using PerfMon to monitor SQL Recompilations (SQL Re-Compilations/Sec counter), and found that there were small spikes of about 3 or 4 re-compilations every minute. Probably nothing to lose sleep over, but I thought I would investigate further to see if I could eliminate the cause.
So I ran a profiler trace, which included the SP:Recompile Event, but it came up empty. Kind of odd, so I ran both PerfMon and Profiler concurrently to see if the event would show up in Profiler when the graph spiked in PerfMon. I saw the PerfMon graph spike, but Profiler didn't pick up anything. I double-checked my Profiler settings by running a test script that would cause a recomplile (interleaved DDL and DML statetments) and Profiler correctly picked up the event.
Does anyone have any idea why the two tools would report different results?
Thanks,

Does anyone have a completed script that will import Perfmon logs from csv format into an existing database that follows the SQL Log File Schema EG; CounterData, CounterDetails, DisplayToID tables accurately. I don't know enough T-SQL to get it right. Thanks for any input you may have.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am training to be a DBA in a company running about 30 machines with MS SQL Server (2000 and 2005). Last week I went to a class where the instructor recommended establishing a performance baseline using windows performance monitor. He also advised to run perfmon remotely so as to not effect the performance.
What I am wondering is since I have so many different machines to baseline, can I run perfmon on one box, using a seperate counter log for each server? I would like to get a nice week-long baseline for each machine, but I also don't want to get bad data by running too many logs at the same time.
My plan is to do a small set of counters for processor, memory, disk, and the SQL server instance(about 10 counters total).
If anyone has experience in this area, I would appreciate any advice that you might have.
Thanks,

passing serialised objects to a stored procedure for the purpose of data inserts. I see this as being a way to handle multiple row inserts efficiently.
However, in my limited use of XML data I am not so sure how to link the data when I have a dependency on another "object" within the serialised XML.
Below is a code snippet showing what I have so far.
The first insert statement works fine - but how to retrieve the identifier created by the DB - I want to use an SQL statement that finds the record in the table based on the XML representation (of the PluginInfo), allowing me to insert the ConfigurationInfo with the correct reference to the PluginInfo
DECLARE @Config NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @Handle AS INT
DECLARE @TransactionCount AS INT
SELECT @Config = '
<ConfigurationDirectory >
<ConfigurationInfo groupKey="Notifications" sectionKey="App.Customization.PluginInfo"
[code]....
My question is, My perfmon counters reads anywhere between 0 and 1200 with the average being around 250 faults/second.
My concern is my memory max size being too large, I have 4gb ram, SQL reports usage at 2.9 GB, my max mem size is 3.9 gb, should I maybe set my SQL server to use a fixed memory size of 2.9 gb?
Thanks in advance
Pete Karhatsu
Copied from SWYNKs' article:
Process: Page Faults/sec
If this value is greater then 0 then the SQL Server process is producing soft page faults and as a result CPU overhead. Try setting the working set size value to be as close to the SQL Server's memory allocation.
Recently, using PERFMON, I've been rather dismayed to find that ourapplication is averaging 3 - 4 lock timeouts per second, andfrequently has extended periods of several minutes where this figurereaches the hundreds.Average LockWaits/sec are less than 0.05, and TableLockEscalations/secare less than 0.5These last two seem very good to me, and as a result I wouldintuitively expect a LockTimeout figure of near-zero.Can anyone suggest why the measured LockTimeout value might be so high?Is the measured value actually considered "high" at all? Doubtlessthis depends on a number of things (transaction rate, number of usersetc), but a rule-of-thumb opinion would be welcomed.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
Can anybody explain to me what's going on with my Target memory and Total memory in Perfmon?
Last week, before I upgraded my servers memory, they were both almost the same, at around 24 on the graph. Target was just fractionally above total, but there was almost no space between the two.
Then I doubled my servers memory to 4GB and expected to see total go way up and target stay the same. However, target went up to 72, and total came down to 16. When I looked this morning, target is now around 47 and total is 25.
I guess I expected these numbers to fluctuate, but not as much as this, and also why is there now such a big difference between target and total?
Thanks

I have a SQL Server 2000 cluster running on x64 OS. I found the threads in the forum to run perfmon locally by using the x86 version of perfmon (mmc /32 perfmon). However, I cannot run a perfmon remotely from another machine and see the SQL Server perfmon data on any of the nodes in the cluster. The remote perfmon picks up all of the other perfmon variables but no SQL.
I found another thread where somebody asked this question but it wasn't answered. Thanks in advance.

We are collecting perfmon counters every 15 second . Among the counters is Average Disk sec/Write . I under stand that it is the average time taken in second to write a data to the disk. However I do not understand what the is quantum of data written in one second. What is the measure or unit of data in Average Disk sec/Write or is it simply the average time taken for an I/O write request.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIm backing up to a network directory thats actually a mount point on a different server.My backup was slower than usual so i opened up perfmon to have a look.
When selecting the mount point from the Logical Disks section in perfmon i can see that writes/sec & write bytes/sec both show zero for a long period of time, even though the backup percent complete is increasing.Then all of a sudden the writes to the network share jump massively.
Is there some caching mechanism for backups in sql where during a backup data is only flushed to the disk periodically during backup?

Hi, there,
I use VB to make an dll file and register on my local PC, then use sp_OACreate to create OLE object on local SQL server, it works fine. But when I register that dll on other SQL server, it dosen't work, anybody have idea about this? Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Primary platform is Framework 2.0 under 32-bit
Production platform will be Framework 2.0 under 64-bit.
I'm concerned about what object should I use in order to launch DTS 2000/7.0 from our .Net service.
Currently it tested fine from a 32-bit environment (sql server 2005 as backend).
Reference: "Microsoft DTSPackage Object Library"
Physical file: dtspkg.dll
My wonder, is there any limitation when it's gonna to work on 64-bit?
Generally speaking, any limitation/issue/drawback for COM objects under 64 bit??
In my project properties appears Any CPU, x86, x64. I've got now Any CPU.
Thanks for your advices,
I know it's "best practice" to dispose ado.net objects, but does it make a big difference if just the connection is closed? In other words, is the code below good enough or should the DataAdapter & Command be explicitly closed?using (SqlConneciton cn = new SqlConnection(connstr)){ SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql,cn);DataSet ds = new DataSet();da.Fill(ds); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(someOtherSql,cn);cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }

I am a Database called "Cache" user and in it and when creating a new table I can create a column of type Object.
So basically, I can create an object eg. Address that have the following items StreetNo, StreetName, PCode somewhere in my database; then create a table called eg. Employees that have a column called EmployeeAddress of type Address (as my Address Object). Can this be done in SQL Server!?
Thanks.
Hello people :-)I'm doing some development work with Visual Studio 2005 and SQLServer 2000. My SQL DB is running on a Windows 2000 Server box in the office, and I'm doing the development on my XPPro workstation. Now I've been trying to connect to the Win2000 box though VS and although I can see the server and the DB when I hit ok I get this error"The SQL server specified by these connection propertise does not support managed objects"What the heck does that mean?any help would be great :-)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently writing a VB app based around a SQLserver2000 database. I have used stored procedures wherever possible to select/update/delete data. I am planning to distribute this app and wonder whether there are any tricks out there for encrypting/setting security so that even the SA account would be unable to read my stored procedures, but obviously be able to execute them?
There are two scenarios - one is where I want to let someone borrow a laptop just for a few days for a demo. Presumably I just give them an unprivileged user account without interactive logon possibilities, by which I mean Enterprise Manager and the other SQLserver Client tools [can I do this?] and control all access from the app.
The other scenario is when the app is purchased and I no longer have control of the SQL Server nor the SA account.
Any pointers would certainly be very useful indeed. Thanks.

I am in the process of upgrading database in sql server 6.5 to 7.0.
For that i am following one computer upgrade.
For creating dev environment in my computer i am using Transfer/Objects in 6.5
for transferring database from remote(production) computer to my computer.
Do i need only to transfer Userdatabase alone or do i need to Transfer Master and other ?
Or Is it better to restore dump ?
Thanks
