OS Shutdown With Running MSSQL

Mar 10, 2008

I have my suspicions, but I need some proof ...

Is restarting a Windows OS box without first stopping the MSSQL service comparable to a shutdown with nowait command? I know that MSSQL will recover, but wouldn't it recover more nicely if it was shutdown on its own terms prior to the box shutting down? OR. Since it's a Windows service does the OS *know* to stop the service gently, allow the engineto place checkpoints on every db and then shut down the OS?

I've googled plenty and cannot find an exact answer. Lots say it's fine to do - doesn't mean it's right ;)

Thanks!

Error Running Setup Script For MsSQL 2005

Apr 26, 2006

Hi,

I have installed SQL 2005 and was trying to run one of the Samples. I installed SQL as an instance, but when I run the setup script, it fails because it can not assign permissions to the ASPNET account.

It looks like it thinks the account is ServerNameInstanceNameASPNET, but it should be ServerNameASPNET.

Thanks,

MSSQL/Server Setup/running Issue/question...

May 30, 2007

i have a client with a windows 2003 server with 4 processors & 32 GB RAM, then MSSQL 2000 SP3. our software seems to run fine on it until the Task Manager shows the MSSQL using 1.7GB of RAM. At this point the whole system seems to slow down to a snails pace. Any ideas as to why 1.7GB and it never goes over that amount no matter how much activity i run on it. Restart mssql and everything seems to run good up until we see the 1.7GB again.

Running MSSQL 2000 Database In A 2005 Server

Jun 26, 2006

I'm running 2000 databases in a 2005 server. Can anyone tell me if there are adverse effects in doing this?
As I understand it, the 2005 performance benefits are available to databases running as 2000(Ver80) But some of the new futures may not be available..
And any documentation from Microsoft/white papapers regarding this subjects are appreciated..

Running Scheduled Stored Procedures MSSQL 2000/2005

Jul 15, 2007

 Hi allI am looking for the best method to automate a website's database management. Lets say I have a user registration database and the users register. This sends an automated email to the user with a link to activate the users registration. If the user does not register within 24 hours, his registration must be automatically deleted from the database using a stored procedure.I know how to do this using the global.aspx file, however there must be an alternative way of doing this, especially if the database is an SQL database. I do not know how much MSSQL server access is given to a developer by an as ISP who hosts the website.Can anyone tell me what would be the best method to use.ThxWarren

Low Virtual Memory Shutdown

Jul 6, 2006

hi,

for the last six months or so my pc has been shutting down all applications for no apparent reason when a 'low virtual memory' bubble appears. I have removed dozens of items, such as games, image editos; all programmes that require a lot of memory but it is no good. Every 40mins or so the pc decides to shut everything down and where it is impossible to start any further applications, unless I log off and on or shut down the pc myself. I really am fed up with this, its so annoying. Is it because of a virus or do I still have too much on my pc?

Timed Shutdown Of Process

May 3, 2007

I have an SSIS package that looks for the existence of a file (using Konesans file watcher) on the network to begin processing. I am trying to find a way to terminate/shutdown the entire process if that file is not out there by say 7:30 AM. I think I could set a timeout on the filewatcher task, but was hoping there was another tool I could use. (If the process had to be restarted late a timeout would still countdown the same period wouldn't it? We'd still need the job to stop by 7:30.)



More background. The package, once deployed, will be called from a command line script that is started by a scheduled task normally, or manually in the event of late availability.



Thanks,

Rog

SQL 2012 :: Server Shutdown Process

Feb 13, 2014

I am just trying to find a good article on the process SQL goes through when shutting down and starting up, so far I have not found anything definitive on Google. I am assuming a checkpoint is invoked and committed transactions are written to disk, while uncommitted are rolled back, but I would like an official textual description of what happens.

SQL SERVER 2005 SERVICE SHUTDOWN

Feb 22, 2008

Currently i am using SQL server 2005. Since the begining i am facing sqlserver service shutdown problem. Normally it happens in every 2-3 days and sometimes happens twice a day. It halts all the banking operation. After starting MSSQL SERVER service, the system goes online.

Following is the error message recorded in the event viewer.
---------------
SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c0000005. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).
---------------

Please tell me what steps i should take to resolve it.

Thanks

Short of rebooting the entire server, is there a way I canforce the process to end?Tony

How To Shutdown SQL 2005 Express Properly

Oct 21, 2007

While working on my Visual C# 2005 Express programs, I will sometimes open SQL 2005 Express to look at the database. Then I will disconnect the database and exit the SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Then when I run my Visual C# 2005 program the next time, I will always get this error message.
"Cannot open user default database. Login failed...."

Here is a copy of my connection string

string cs = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFilename=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\hdcTemperatureCableReadings.mdf; Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True";

string strSelect = "Select * from CableReading";

SqlConnection tcrConn = new SqlConnection(cs);

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from CableReading", tcrConn);

tcrConn.Open();

The error is being generated when "tcrConn.Open()" is being executed. This is line 27 of my program.

My question is: Am I shutting SQL 2005 Express down wrong when I go in and look at the database. The SQL 2005 Express is located on the same computer that I am writing my program on.

I copied the error message to the clipboard and copied into this thread.

Error 3449 SQL Server Shutdown

Jun 27, 2006

SQL Server 2005 X64 Standard running on Windows Server 2003 X64 Htper Threaded Quad processors with 16 GB RAM.

I have had two production servers shut down this week due to Error 3449: SQL Server must shut down in order to recover a database (database ID 1). The database is either a user database that could not be shut down or a system database. Restart SQL Server. If the database fails to recover after another startup, repair or restore the database.

Previous to the shutdown I received multiple Error 3314 & 602: Could not find an entry for table or index with partition ID 491897996509184 in database 2. This error can occur if a stored procedure references a dropped table, or metadata is corrupted. Drop and re-create the stored procedure, or execute DBCC CHECKDB.

Also, Error 9001: During undoing of a logged operation in database 'msdb', an error occurred at log record ID (838:208:1). Typically, the specific failure is logged previously as an error in the Windows Event Log service. Restore the database or file from a backup, or repair the database.


Does anyone have an idea why I have begun receiving these error messages? I have run dbcc checkdb on Master and msdb and they do not show any problems.

Advanced SQL Injection - Shutdown With Nowait Question

Jun 13, 2005

Hello:I am doing this small experiment on SQL Injection, and appearantly, I was asked to do the shutdown thing, which I have read about, but don't have a single idea how how to start.Well, basically, I am still confused about a few things:1. Do I need to create a stored procedure first, before I start hacking (shutting down the SQL Server)? Or can I just use a normal User Table?2. I understand that the clause "shutdown with nowait" only allows the sysadmin and serveradmin to do so, so is there anyway a hacker makes himself a sysadmin or serveradmin?3. And I read that only with the login user: "sa", you can perform that action. But in my company, its sql login is not "sa", it's something else, so can I do anything about it?Well, that's all for now. So, actually, I have a project that first requires the user to login and must provide password. (Since I am doing experiment on SQL Injection, thus, it is vunerable). It connects to the sql server to match if the user name entered exists on the table.I hope this information is enough to help anyone to help me hahahahaha.... crossed my finger, though.Thanks in advance.

DB Engine :: Need DDL Trigger Before Server Instance Shutdown

Nov 24, 2015

I have SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition with a number of in-memory tables sitting in my database.When server is restarted it takes many hours to recover my database if there was data in these in-memory tables before shutdown.As a result, I need to clean up in-memory tables every time before server instance shutdown. This is really annoying and requires extra prescriptive actions for support team. Can I have DDL server/database level trigger to catch shutdown event and clean my data before instance goes down?

SQL 2012 :: Restore DB Without LDF File - Special Case DB Shutdown In Mid Transaction

Nov 14, 2014

Got this situation, trying to do Use SignleMode to recover my handing db, after that lost ldf (and physically too). Tried all things thru SSMS and scripts (below) that I know with no result, is there anything else I can try to recover it, I don't need log file.

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

Could not open new database 'MyLostDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.

File activation failure. The physical file name "C:xxxMyLostDB.ldf" may be incorrect.

The log cannot be rebuilt because there were open transactions/users when the database was shutdown, no checkpoint occurred to the database, or the database was read-only. This error could occur if the transaction log file was manually deleted or lost due to a hardware or environment failure. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1813)

EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname='Commissions',
@physname=N'C:SQLDataMyLostDB.mdf'

Creating Index In MSSQL 2000 From MSSQL 2005

Mar 24, 2008

Hi,

I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.

Ex:-

CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY

(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)

INCLUDE

(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);


Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.

Thanks,
Suresh.

Migration MSSQL 2000 32-bit To MSSQL 2005 64-bit

Nov 17, 2007

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.

Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.

I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.

I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.

Upgrade options:

1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
