Performance Issues With SET DATEFORMAT Command

Nov 9, 2007

Hi,

Are there any know performance problems with using the command SET DATEFORMAT dmy in SQL Server 2000 stored procedures? The reason I ask is because a particular stored procedure is taking 750ms to execute, yet when I remove 'SET DATEFORMAT dmy' line the execution times only takes 20ms (as in twenty - no typo). I mean that's a massive difference, why does SET DATEFORMAT command do this, is there a faster alternative?

As for the sProc itself it does a DateTime comparison on a VarChar field that stores a date time value (yes, I know it's not very well normalised/typed), eg.

AND b.value >= GetDate()

...where value is a VarChar field.

Thanks for any help! :)

Extremely Poor Performance On OLE DB Command Transform.

May 1, 2006

In one Data Flow Task (running by itself) I simply have a Raw File Source pushing rows to an OLE DB Command. This command executes an UPDATE command (UPDATE table SET field = ?, anotherfield = ? WHERE thisfield = ?) and performs extremely slow. It's possible to have 62K+ rows needing to be updated and it typically takes this task around 25 - 30 minutes to run.

Is there anything I can do to increase performance?
Are there any options other than the OLE DB Command to perform updates?

Thank you.

SET DATEFORMAT Dmy

Jul 31, 2007

I want to post a date and search a date

I have put SET DATEFORMAT dmy in the INSERT INTO and SELECT SQL statements

now i get: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Dateformat Is Ignored

Dec 28, 2005

Hello,I receive a file containing some character fields along with a date.The date values in the file are formatted as "dd/mm/yy", that is2-digit day, 2-digit month, and 2-digit year. The separator could beslash or a dash ("-"). The file is in a proprietary format, and bcp isnot an option.So, I decided to load the file using a prepared statement. I open acursor with an INSERT statement, read from the file, parse out values,and put it in the database using the cursor. All is OK; except thatthe date values are mangled. This is despite the fact that I am issuinga "set dateformat dmy" before running the INSERT statement.It seems that the "set dateformat dmy" is not being accepted, or it isbeing ignored. I set it at the beginning right after opening aconnection to the database. From what I understand, it should work.Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions on how to get this towork?Thanks!

Alternatives To Set Dateformat Ymd

Oct 10, 2007

Hi
I got a SQL Server with Language = €śGerman€? and Collation = €śLatin1_General_CI_AS€?.

My application has a form with language = €śEnglisch€?. This application is calling an stored procedure, that has a datetime parameter.

db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "@Test", DbType.DateTime, Test);

This stored procedure is not able to accept the value from the parameter, because the application is passing it, in the format ymd and sql server is specting it in ydm.

I tried to set the dateformat = ymd in the store procedure, thing that did not work. I have to set it before exec my-stored procedure. But I cant from my application.

How can I solve this?

Using A Variable In SSIS - Error - Command Text Was Not Set For The Command Object..

Nov 4, 2006

Hi All,

i am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select rows from the source based on the Name I enter during execution time. I have created two variables,

enterName - String packageLevel (will store the name I enter)

myVar - String packageLevel. (to store the query)

I am assigning this query to the myVar variable, "Select * from db.Users where (UsrName = " + @[User::enterName] + " )"

Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, enterName,. I select that and when I click on OK am getting this error.

Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".

Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?

myVar variable, i have set the ExecuteAsExpression Property to true too.

Please let me know where am going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Command Text Was Not Set For The Command Object Error

Sep 19, 2006

Hi. I am writing a program in C# to migrate data from a Foxpro database to an SQL Server 2005 Express database. The package is being created programmatically. I am creating a separate data flow for each Foxpro table. It seems to be doing it ok but I am getting the following error message at the package validation stage:

Extremely Poor Query Performance - Identical DBs Different Performance

Jun 23, 2006

Hello Everyone,I have a very complex performance issue with our production database.Here's the scenario. We have a production webserver server and adevelopment web server. Both are running SQL Server 2000.I encounted various performance issues with the production server with aparticular query. It would take approximately 22 seconds to return 100rows, thats about 0.22 seconds per row. Note: I ran the query in singleuser mode. So I tested the query on the Development server by taking abackup (.dmp) of the database and moving it onto the dev server. I ranthe same query and found that it ran in less than a second.I took a look at the query execution plan and I found that they we'rethe exact same in both cases.Then I took a look at the various index's, and again I found nodifferences in the table indices.If both databases are identical, I'm assumeing that the issue is relatedto some external hardware issue like: disk space, memory etc. Or couldit be OS software related issues, like service packs, SQL Serverconfiguations etc.Here's what I've done to rule out some obvious hardware issues on theprod server:1. Moved all extraneous files to a secondary harddrive to free up spaceon the primary harddrive. There is 55gb's of free space on the disk.2. Applied SQL Server SP4 service packs3. Defragmented the primary harddrive4. Applied all Windows Server 2003 updatesHere is the prod servers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.67GHZTotal Physical Memory 2GB, Available Physical Memory 815MBWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1Here is the dev serers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.80GHz2GB DDR2-SDRAMWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1I'm not sure what else to do, the query performance is an order ofmagnitude difference and I can't explain it. To me its is a hardware oroperating system related issue.Any Ideas would help me greatly!Thanks,Brian T*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
