Oracle Packet Sizes

Aug 5, 2003

We are looking at installing a new Oracle server for a client but have been told that they have used Oracle in the past but had a lot of problems with slow response even though the bandwidth on the WAN was barely being used. He says that this was due to the fact that Oracle sends out very small packets across the network meaning that there are hundreds of packets being sent out. This caused a problem on the routers being used as it was killing the processors. Is this still the case and have you had other reports of slow response of this nature?

DTS Packet Size

Oct 8, 2004

I have a dts package that transfers data from a view into
a table structure on another server. Occassionly the
scheduled package will fail with the following error:

Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error.
Check your network documentation. Error source:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help
file: Help context: 0 Error Detail
Records: Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider
Error: 11 (B) Error string: [DBNETLIB]
[ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check
your network documentation. Error source: Microsoft
OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help
context: 0 DTSRun OnFinish: Copy Data from PS...
Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

Once the package fails I will rerun it several times
without any modifications and eventually it will run to
completion successfully. One change that I have made while
troubleshooting is to change the default network package
size from 1 to 1024 or 2048. Although this has worked I'm
not confident that the package wouldn't have run without
that change.

Has anyone seen this error before or anything similar?

Query From Packet Capture

Apr 22, 2014

I'm trying to organize this SQL query from a packet capture and I'm more of a network/application guy, not so much of a DBA. To me it looks like they are using variables in their query and the "@" is a delimiter.

Network Packet Size - WAN Performance

Apr 9, 2004

We have an application that runs across the WAN to multiple locations. Performance is poor and we are looking at ways to improve performance. One suggestion from our Sr. Network Administrator is to change our Network Packet Sizes across all points, SQL Server & NIC to match the outgoing Router. This would be a size of 1440.

Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on this?

But after I installed it, I found I could only see the configuration tools of sql server, but I couldn't find the sql server express service. When I ran the surface area configuration for services and connections, I msgbox came out and told me "No sql server 2005 components were found on the specified computer.....". Why?

The Prelogin Packet Used To Open The Connection Is Structurally Invalid

Dec 17, 2007

On one of the workstations being used by a developer we see the following entries in the event log:



Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSSQLSERVER
Event Category: (4)
Event ID: 17828
Date: 17/12/2007
Time: 10:24:25
User: N/A
Computer: <removed>
Description:
The prelogin packet used to open the connection is structurally invalid; the connection has been closed. Please contact the vendor of the client library. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Searching on the internet we don't get a satisfying answer. This connection to the database is made through a .NET web service using the default client libraries from the Base Class Library. We are talking about a fully patched SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and .NET Framework 3.5.

Any clues?

I only found the following "relevant" link:
http://www.webservertalk.com/message1539518.html

But I am the kind of guy that likes to know what went or goes wrong instead of trying out hacks like the one described in the above link.

SQL 2005 SSIS Error - Packet Size Issue

Jan 18, 2008

Hi All...Thanks in advance for any help...


I am having an issue with SQL 2005 SSIS package...Win 2003 SP2...SQL 2005...


We receive files in the format of .TRK into an input directory...These files then are copied to a local directory on server and a .bat file loops through renaming each .TRK to MyFile.Txt...MyFile.Txt is then uploaded to a SQL table via DTS...Nothing complicated...The DTS runs fine when MyFile.Txt is placed there manually and executed...The rub is the call through batch file...


Here's the bat file...


ECHO ON

CD D:DOF

SET FromDir=D:DOFftp_in

SET ToDir=D:DOFconfirm

SET RemoteRoot=\MEMSRV079D$DOFGensrvnt

REM get files from remote server

MOVE %RemoteRoot%DOFOut*.trk D:DOFFTP_In

CD D:DOFFTP_In

FOR %%F IN (*.*) DO (

SET File=%%F

COPY %FromDir%%%F %ToDir%%%F

RENAME %%F MyFile.txt

DTSRUN /S MEMSRV079 /E /R /N "DOF_SAP_Confirm" > D:DOFLOGDOF_SAP_Confirm.run

DEL %FromDir%MyFile.txt

)

CD D:DOF


Works fine on Win2000 / SQL2000 environment but DTS had to be in MetaData, not normal...


All the copy, renames, etc in batch file work correctly...

Here's the error from DTS log...ie...The .run from above...


DTSRun: Loading...

Error: -2147217355 (80041035); Provider Error: 0 (0)

Error string: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Packet size change not honored by server, server size used

Error source:

Help file:

Help context: 0


Here's my trouble shooting...Reinstall SP2 on Windows to get MDAC 2.8 version...MS KB article states that the ODBC registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREODBCINST.INISQLServerDriverODBCVer should be 3.7 or greater...It's 3.5 on this server...MDAC 2.8 (which is installed with Win2003 SP2) is supposed to take care of installing right driver...All registry keys point to the proper version of sqlsvr32.dll in .WindowsSystem32...

I'm at a loss...Currently we are looking at rewriting the bat file in C# or something similar...I would really like to get running as is...


Thanks in advance...

The DBComms.receive Operation Resulted In An Invalid Packet Header Type:-86. PktNum:0. NReceived:8.

Jun 11, 2007

Hello,

While doing performance testing on a Tomcat based web application using the v1.1 JDBC driver connecting to SQL Server 2005, the tomcat server has been throwing the above exception at a fairly low rate. I have seen some related issues in the forums with v1.1 of the MS JDBC driver, but those were asking about connection reset related errors. In this case the 'invalid packet header' exception is consistently seen. I am in the process of repeating the test with some additional application side logging turned on, and have tried enabling FINEST level logging for the driver, but that leaves me with a 500MB log file and so far no instances of that exception in question being thrown. This is not unusual, the error has only been seen about 14 times in about 20 tests, with each test running about an hour and a half.



A few quick tests with the 1.2 driver did not throw this exception, but did throw a high number of '[Connection|Statement|Resultset] Closed'



While I gather more information, I was wondering if there is anything significant in this particular exception type that could point to a more specific set of tests I could run?



The exceptions seen so far:

DbComms Error Occurred While Reading Input. Context Read Packet Header. Unexpected End Of Stream...

Dec 4, 2007

I'm getting the following error from a few hosts that are querying a db in SQL Server 2005. The error has occurred while executing various queries that we would expect to return various sized result sets (from a couple rows to a couple million rows). Many hosts have never experienced the error but it is occurring fairly frequently on a couple.

using Windows Server 2003 on both the jdbc client and the DB host.

using jdbc driver from sqljdbc_1.1

netstat doesnt increment the TCP connection reset count after this error occurs.

using standard sql server authentication.

How To Check DB Sizes?

Jan 18, 2006

Hi there

I hope this isn't a totally stupid question, but I was wondering how to check the physical size the DBs take up on disks...

Does MSSQL save DBs as a specific file-extension? Is there an SQL command I can run that will give extensive info on DB sizes?

Any help welcome :)

Log File Sizes

Calculating Row Sizes

Feb 20, 2008

I'm putting together a manual system that tracks data growth in a certain database. I was going to use sp_spaceused as a part of it, but then realized the datatypes for size are CHAR, not INT or BIGINT. I was going to do counts, averages, etc. on those columns but that wouldn't work against a CHAR field obviously. I could easily write a little something to strip out the KB, but was hoping there was another way to get those figures.

Secondly...has anynoe seen a stored procedure/code/etc. that just calculates the largest/smallest/average row size for a table? I haven't been able to find anything anywhere...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

Nvarchar And Varchar Sizes....

Jun 19, 2004

Hello again everyone....

I have another question for everyone....

I am currently cleaning up my database to get its total size down and am not sure how nvarchar and varchar work exactly.

When defining the length of a varchar or nvarchar in enterprise manager, will that effect the size of the entry (as far as data size) no matter what the length of the entry? In other words, will there be a difference in Data Size for an entry with the length of 4 characters with a definition of varchar(4) versus an entry with the length of 4 characters with a definition of varchar(50).

****If there is no difference, is there any reason in trying to best guess the size to give nvarchar or varchar columns? It would seem easier to just define the lengths of columns which need variable lengths to 200 or 400 just to save time in not trying to best guess what the size might be...*****

Thanks ahead for any help...

Query Table Sizes

May 17, 2002

Hi,
I am looking to runa query to get the sizes of the tables in my SQL 7 DB.
I know I can access the info in Enterprise Manager, under "Tables & Indexes".
But I need to get this info via a query.
I need rows and size.
I figured out how to get rows through the sys tables:
select sysobjects.name, sysindexes.rows
from sysobjects,sysindexes
where sysobjects.name = sysindexes.name
and xtype = 'U'

Is the size of each table stored in a sys table as well? I can't find it.

Device Sizes Are Negative

Mar 30, 1999

Ok, I have a new one. Several of my devices are showing with negative sizes when viewed in edit in enterprise manager. I cannot edit them as the change now button is grayed-out. Oddly enough they are all located on the same drive. The master (on C drive), and the tempdb (on D drive) both show as the default device. I am very confused. User access to the information is fine. What gives?

Log File Sizes For All Databases

Jul 21, 2006

Hi All,

I ran the following query to get the log file sizes for all databases:

select (size*8.00)/1024,filename from master..sysaltfiles

When I compared the results from this query with the transaction log properties in EM, not all of the sizes match.
For example, EM shows the transaction log size for tempdb to be 2 MB but the results of the query shows that transaction log size for tempdb is .5 MB. Which query can I run to get the numbers that would match between two? Thanks.

Schedule Mail Of DB Sizes

Jan 22, 2004

Wonder if anyone can help me out here.

I'm trying to set up a job to run overnight that mails me the size of all the databases on SQL Server.

The way I'm getting the size of the db's is by running the following in SQL Query Analyzer...

EXEC sp_MSforeachdb @command1="print '?' select cast(name as varchar(32)), round(size * 8 / 1.024,3) from ?..sysfiles"

Can anyone suggest a way that I can export the results of this to a text file that can then be mailed to me as part of a scheduled job.

Or can anyone suggest a better/easier way of doing this??

Thanks in advance. :)

Large File (MDF & LDF) Sizes

Oct 1, 2007

Admin is kind of new to me. Could someone recommend how to reduce these file sizes?

In Dev, my MDF is 16 MB, LDF .5 MB.

I run a script to recreate the schema and insert rows on the Host.

When downloading a db backup from the Host and restoring it to Dev, my MDF is 24 MB, LDF 25 MB.

The same dataset grew by ~35 MB!!!

Any advice is welcome. Thank you. Rick
