I have a very weird issue in my latest package. I run it and it just randomly stops. When I watch it in debug mode or not in debugging a command prompt window will flash for an instant (too fast to read) and then the package will stop. It stops inside of a for each loop and the "on completion" is never fired for the loop. I never receive any errors - its just like someone hit the stop button. Sometimes it will process hundreds of files before stopping, other times only a few. (And its not stopping on the same file each time.. it doesn't appear to be related to the file at all)
Any ideas what could be going on? How to troubleshoot?
We executed windows scheduled batch failes that execute as DOMAINuser1 to dtsexec packages.
I moved these packages to run in sql jobs.
The agent runs as local system. In order to get the packages to run since they are encryoted with DOMAINuser1 key.
I created a DOMAINuser1 credential and a proxy.
I execute the SSIS package job steps under this proxy.
One day it all works the next day they fail randomly with the "unable to decrypt with user key" error.
I am very familiar with this error, however it makes no sense, thses packges are not being touched, no one is altering them and perhaps saving them with different user keys. They are all encrypted with the DOMAINuser1 key. One day everything works the next day they fail.
A master package will run and in the middle of executing other package it suddenly gets this error, like the proxy suddenly stops working.
Hello, I have a table with some data in it. What I want to do is to create a query that returns me randomly one of the records of the table. Can this be done?
If this is not possible from SQL server I have thought an alternative way. This is:
I want to return all rows of the table with SELECT *, but I want the select to return in the first column an autoincreament number for each row without the need to add an autoincrement field in the table. e.g
Table ------ Banana Tomatoe Aple ... ... Orange
Result from select ------------------ 1 Banana 2 Tomatoe 3 Aple . .... . .... 23 Orange
Can this be done? At least this way 1) I can travel to the end of the results (from ASP), 2) read the ID of the last row 3) Create a random integer number from 1 to last ID, 4) and finaly select the appropriate random row from that integer.
My issue is that I have 10 accounts that were assigned to 5 agents with each agent receiving 2 accounts. I would know like to randomly reassign the accounts with the only criteria being that the random allocation not reassign to the same agency and each agent gets 2 accounts again.
Data looks like below and I want to populate the randomly assigned agent in the "Second_Agent" column.
Say you have a table that contains 1000 rows, you create a simple select statement with a where clause that returns 100 or so of those rows. Easy enough.
Now, let's say that you wish to modify that select so that out of the 100 rows that match the where clause criteria, you only wish to return 10 rows randomly (i.e., you could run this query multiple times and get different results). How exactly would you go about doing this, efficiently?
I've thought about creating a stored procedure that will query the initial 100 rows into a temp table with an additional column (to number the rows from 1 to 100). Then setting up a loop (10 iterations) that will then generate a random number from 1 to 100 and select that row number into another temp table. At the end of the loop I'll have my table of randomly selected records. I am sure there is probably a better way to do this...
"select * from sample order by newid()" im getting a set of rows. On refreshing this query i need the same set of rows to validate.(provided sufficient data in the table).
Hi there I need to fill database table randomly with 5 ordered numbers such as 43566 , 78578 , 92565 , .. to gain approximately 100000 row of a table . Is there a query ?
I'm using a SQL Server 2000 with a dozen of databases. The databases are rather small (all sizes together sum up to 10 GB).
The entire server gets extremelly slow from time to time (lasting a few days when it happens and suddently coming back to normality). A profiler trace doesn't show anything strange (besides a lot of SQL Agent entries).
I pretty much tried to isolate every single application that makes use of the databases in that server and see if it was the cause of the problem, but I couldn't find any correlation.
I know the computer where this server runs is quite fragmented. Is there anyway I could get to know if this is the cause of my performance issues?
I don't know if this happens, but once the server simply went down for some 3 hours, and I wasn't able to bring it up in anyway. It eventually started working again by itself. The only thing I did in the meantime was to run DBCC CHECKDB a few times, always getting the response "No error found on the database".

Randomly getting "SQL Server does not exist or access denied" error from my server. All sites on my server lose connection to the MSSQL database on a windows 2005 server. Anyone know? There is truly no pattern, it just randomly loses access to the SQL server which is on the localhost. It's often different pages being browsed when it decides to crash. Sometimes it's a couple hours between crashes and sometimes just a few minutes. I've heard that I should check the log files, but I'm really not even sure what to check. Any suggestions appreciated. Traffic is really light on the server right now too.
i have created a quiz software in VB. i have used ini files to fetch questions.. now i have thought of changing it to SQL.. i have created a table with questionno, question, option1,option2,option3,option4 and the correctanswer.. now i want to select the questions randomly each time the question session is started.. please help me out as i need to complete this project for my school...
We have a .net 1.1 application that gets this both with MSDE and SSE but more with SSE.
It randomly crashes with this error on laptops where they have SSE or MSDE installed on the local computer. They're being referenced by the machineNameInstance because (Local)Instance had bugs in the past with network connections disappearing and us getting this error. Now we're getting this, especially with Intel Wireless Cards on a random but consistant basis.
Under SSE we've had to turn on tcp/ip to make our app run, which tells me that something is preventing it from using shared memory access, which I suspect is that we're not using (Local)Instance, so I tried switching it, and no dice, same problem.
Is anyone else getting this? It's driving us nuts!!!! (and pissing off customers)
I would like randomly change the order of the rows in my table. Is there any way to do that? I also have a question about random generator. Is it possible to get a repeatable sequence of random numbers between 1 and 10 in T-SQL? (for example 2,7,6,5,8,9,3,2,....each state with the same probability). But i need the same sequence every time i run my procedure. I know this is just a pseudo generator. I tried to use function rand([seed]) and change the seed value, but I got some strange results...(floor(rand([seed])*100))
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)

I have a web app that calculates tax filing status and then stores data about the person.
Facts The insert is done through a stored procedure. All the sites that this program is being used are connecting through a VPN so this is not an external site. The duplicate records are coming from multiple sites (I am capturing there IP address). I am getting a duplicate about 3 or 4 times a day out of maybe 300 record inserts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We have been storing packages in the File System folder. We had noticed that there seemed to be times when re-importing an existing package did not seem to update it properly. We tried deleting the existing package first rather than overwriting it, but to no avail.
Today we noticed that there were two DTS90Packages folders, one on the C drive and one on the D drive. The dates on the files in those folders showed that sometimes the import put the file on one drive, and other times on the other drive.
The MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file shows this: "<StorePath>..Packages</StorePath> ".
We intend to stored the packages in the msdb database instead in order to work around this problem.
This one has set me back many, many hours on this project; it's about got me ready to dump SSIS & just roll a custom .NET solution in C#.
I need to create import packages for quite a few very wide flat files (130 - 180+ columns, not my design). Many of these columns have data > 50 characters long.
I change column widths on the data flow source using the Advanced Editor, via Input and Output Properties ==> Flat File Source Output ==> External Columns.
About 50% of the time, the changes vanish after clicking OK to dismiss the Advanced Editor. There is no warning message or output announcing that the editor failed to persist its changes, or that it set some columns' properties back to the defaults, or why. The column's widths just silently revert back to 50.
If the cause and resolution aren't known, does anyone know of a way to accomplish any of the following workarounds?
Create a data source connection by importing an external text schema defining the flat file's column names, data types and sizes, or Change a property on multiple source columns en-masse, or...
Get at a text version of the file containing the Data Flow Component's definition, so we can edit wide import schemas without racking up thousands of mouse-clicks?Thanks! A virtual cheeseburger to anyone with answers.
I'm new to this SQL thing, and I inherited a DB that has a job that runs every two hours 24/7. Normally the process takes about 5 minutes to complete, but on occasion it just doesn't finish. In those cases, it cannot run at the next two hour cycle. If this happens on a Friday evening, it doesn't get noticed until Monday morning. That is a Bad Thing (tm).
Someone told me to create a second job that would run 45 minutes behind the first and automatically stop the first job if it hadn't terminated on it's own. My problem is I cannot find anywhere how to do this. I have found how to start other jobs, but not stop them.
