Performance Problem With SQLServer 7.0
Mar 28, 2000
Hello,
I really need some help here. I am having performance problem with SQL Server 7.0. I am using Visual Basic 6.0 as Front End.
I have the table with 34 columns. I have Clustered index on the table. Table contains more than 26 thousand rows at this point and it is growing very fast.
My problem is that when I connect to this table from my application(to retrieve data) performance is extremely slow. I marked that if I have few rows in my table than performance is not that bad. Please help...
Your help will be appreciated in millions.
Thank You,
Sarika Patel

hello everyone,
does anyone know some tipps or articles that descripe how the sqlserver 2000 can be improved? i have an application which displays newspapers. the text of the newspapers is saved in db. performance is ok but i have performance-problems when i do a fulltext-search.
1) hardware: p4 xeon double core, 2.4 Ghz, 2 GB Ram
2) number of articles in database: ~ 255.000 Records (betwenn 10 - 400 words each)
3) the database is indexed (i am searching with "CONTAINS" and not with the "LIKE"-keyword)
4) in my query i am searching in 3 columns (title,leadtext,content)
5) results (searching for one word, stopping after 150 Results):the time to get a result from database lies between 5 to 10 Seconds (Average: 6.77 sec)!
this is the time only for getting the dataset from the sqlserver. the time of manipulating the dataset and binding it to my repeater needs about 15 milliseconds. using a sqldatareader didn't improve the performance. i got the same results.
in future the number of records will be three to five times higher than now. i am afraid that then the user has to wait half a minute to get a result of 150 search hits.
my questions:
Are you having similiar results in your applications? Are this times acceptable?
The SqlServer 2000 (professional) is installed in its default way with the default settings. Are they possiblities to modify this settings for improving performance? Where can i find info about that?
greetings and thx
Klaus

We have developed a mostly-disconnected smart client app written in C# that uses MSDE as a local backing store. With the announcement of SS Ev, we attempted a port of our app over to SS Ev. The port went smoothly, however, the performance has been significantly (very significantly) degraded. Before we being our investigation into the cause of the performance degradation, I thought I might see if anyone has suggestions on where we should look for possible performance issues. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm using Visual Web Developer Express and Management Studio Express, and my web site is on a shared web hostΒ΄, running SqlServer2000. I'm looking for software that enables me to monitor the server, but is it possible? The only apps I've found (and downloaded and installed and unistalled) so far need administrative rights to the server so they won't work on a shared web host.
All help would be welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Pettrer

Hi guys,
I have a performance related question about the DTS package in sqlserver 2000 which i have developed
We have developed a DTS package which will migrate a view 'ATTRITION' from Sqlserver 2000 to an Oracle database.The design of the package is as follows
First step: It checks for the existance of the table 'ATTRITION' in oracle database, if table 'ATTRITION' is not there it will create a table called 'ATTRITION' in the oracle db.If the table 'ATTRITION' is already present in the oracle db,then the table is truncated.
Second step: The view 'ATTRITION' is migrated to Oracle table 'ATTRITION'.
For the migration, i have used a connection object which connects to sqlserver 2000 and for oracle connection i have used another connection object 'Microsoft ODBC driver for oracle' and i have joined both the connection objects with 'Transform data task' task which maps one to one from sqlserver 2000 where view 'ATTRITION' exists with oracle database where Table 'ATTRITION' exists.
Roughly i have around 65000 rows in 'ATTRITION' view of sqlserver 2000 which needs to be migrated.When im running the package on my system it takes around 4 minutes to migrate all the rows but when im running it on the server it takes a lot lot of time more than 1 hour.
The view definition im using has more than 10 tables joined together.But if its a problem of query used in the view,and if i run the view seperately it quickly displays the data hardly takes 1 minute. and even if i run the package on my local pc it doenst take much time.Now my confusion is why its taking soo much time on server.If i create a indexed view then will it solve my problem.Please suggest...
Thanks in advance

We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services
{
public static class Foo
{
public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol)
{
string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
request.Timeout = 1000;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
response.Close();
return returnQuote;
}
}
}
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?
Regards,
Skipper.

Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('’')
with 2 Unicode characters
= 0x2300
’ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?’"
’ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'’')
and select again voila i see
"’"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."

Hello,
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database

Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?

Hello Expert!
I have 2 Database Access & SQLServer(ver 7)
I need to Import Data TblShift from Access to SQLServer using DTS Ive done this successfully!
Now I want to use parameter so I only importing record within range (e.g. ShiftDate BETWEEN 05-24-2006 AND 06-23-2006)
In SQLServer, I have created table to store the date range as following:
TblParameter
DateFrom: 04/24/2006
DateTo: 05/23/2006
How do I use the date range from TblParameter(SQLServer) to import record from TblShift(Access) using DTS?
Is this possible or any better solution for this?
TIA

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server 2005. I tried connecting to my local machine by using my machine name as Server name and then tried running the following query:
SELECT * FROM SYS.Objects. It gives me following error:
Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Whereas, if I connect to my local machine using mahcinenameSQLEXPRESS, then the above mentioned query runs fine.
Why is this difference? What is the difference when I login in these 2 different ways.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Any help

1. Use mssql server agent service to take the schedule
2. Use a .NET windows service with timers to call SqlClientConnection
above, which way would be faster and get a better performance?

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 ***

I have a choice of working with either SQLServer or Oracle within my company. I need to advise them which way to go. I need to support a couple of hundred users in a mixed workload environment (OLTP, Batch & Reporting)
The O/S will be Windows 2003 Server. My understanding is that Oracle is the better database technically but SQLServer is cheaper and easier to integrate with other MS technologies. My company will most likely buy into whatever technology will deliver value for money but also be secure and be able to scale.
Any views gratefully received.

We're starting to think about migrating a 2000 32-bit sql/server to 64-bit (probably 2005). Performance gains are tempting when it can easily be bought, almost a management mantra . I've been doing some reading about the pro's and con's, most of what I've found is pro, very little on the con.
My impression is that the 64-bit version(s) is faster in most case, if not all. It would seem that most of the performance improvement is gained by the heavier equipment and overcome memory limitations. Too me, it looks like the integration of hw/os/sql is made very tight on 64-bit, more than 32-bit, which might be the main reason for the improvements.
Call me skeptical but I'm looking for some more con's and a little less on the "great, fantastic, improved and hoorah" that I've been reading. Anyone out there returned to 32-bit after a 64-bit disaster?
