Query To Find SQL Activity At Specific Time?
Mar 23, 2007
Ok, please pardon my complete ignorance; but I am extremely SQL challenged. I manage the server right now and I am the closest thing to a DBA at the moment with this server.
Here is the problem. I have a job that runs every hour and until last week it was running without any problems. Now, once a day it hangs, and I end up having to restart sql to get it to be functional again. I guess I could just kill the spid, but regardless, it's fails.
It doesn't happen at the same time each day. I thought it was from the backups doing a SQL backup job, but I eliminated that possibility. I can't find what is causing the problem, because the SQL logs just stop at the time that this happens. It's like some other job/query is running and taking all the sql server resources. But I can never catch it when it's happening and I have no event logs or SQL logs to go on.
Is there any query that I can run to find what happened around the specific time the job failed to run? I just need to find what process did what when this job stopped working.
Again, I apologize if my lack of SQL knowledge is making me ask dumb questions, but I am really lost.
Thanks in advanced!

How to find last login date/time for user DML acitivity on databases on Instance?
Is there any way we can find our the last login date/time for databases?
Note: 1. We can find if the SQL Trace is running and store.This is not good solution
        2. Audit logins off/on is also not good solution.
       3. Using DMV's also not good option, if reboot sql server instance then historical values can not see.

This is my table:
use tempdb
go
if object_id('Data', 'u') is not null drop table Data
go
with temp as (
select top 10000 row_number() over (order by c1.object_id) Id
from sys.columns c1 cross join sys.columns c2
[code]....
What index would be best for these three queries? With best I mean the execution time, I don't care about additional space.
This is the index I currently use:
create nonclustered index Ix_Data on Data (StateId, PalletId, BoxId, Id)
The execution plan is SELECT (0%) - Stream Aggregate (10%) - Index Scan (90%).
Can this be optimized (maybe to use Index Seek method)?

I need to build a CTE query to find for the same Cabstamp (document) where i have different Origin.
I know that i can build this with a correlated subquery, but i´am curious about using CTE.
I post sample create Script:
create table #temp (Cabstamp varchar(10), account varchar(10),document varchar(15), origin varchar(2), debit numeric(10,2), credit numeric(10,2), datalc datetime)
insert into #temp (Cabstamp,account,Document, origin, debit, credit, datalc)
select 'ADM12345',111,'CMP-01','FO',1000,0, '20150110'
union
select 'ADM12345',112,'CMP-01','FO', 500, 0,'20150110'
union
select 'ADM12345',6811,'CMP-01','DO',0,1500,'20150110'
union
[code]....

Hi,
I have a table which has a few fields, one being "datetime_traded". I need to write a query which returns the row which has the closest time (down to second) given a date/time. I'm using MS SQL.
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
select * from TICK_D
where datetime_traded = (select min( abs(datediff(second,datetime_traded , Convert(datetime,'2005-05-30:09:31:09')) ) ) from TICK_D)
But I get an error - "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.".
Does anyone know how i could do this? Thanks a lot for any help!

I have a program that is automatically ran through a job. The program gets the most recent files that have been uploaded to a server. I would like to be able to query the database to see when the last time this job was ran successfully and set this date as the date to look for files newer than the last successful run date.
Could someone point me in the right direction to what tables this data is stored in on a 2005 SQL Server Database?

This store procedure will get some executable queries from the select statement, the cursor will fetch each rows to execute the query and insert the queries into table_3 to mark as 'E'. Until 17:00, this store procedure will stop execute the queries and just get the queries from select statement insert into table_3 to mark as 'C'.
I don't know why the outputs in table_3 are quiet different than I think. This store procedure comes out with two exactly same queries and one marked as C and another marked as E.
CREATE PROCEDURE procedure1
AS
DECLARE cursor_1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT
'This is a executable query'
FROM table_1
DECLARE @table_2

We have several SQL 2000 databases on one server.
One of the applications I'm responsible for has batch jobs that run for an hour; all activity is on the database. During this hour, other applications that use other databases on the same server experience time-outs. One of my coworkers did a count(*) on an empty table and it took 11 seconds.
We pay people to keep our servers up and running. Is this something they might solve by reconfiguring the server? It seems strange to me that a single database is allowed to hog all server resources.
We are meeting with them later this week, and I'd like to have some knowledge about this; we don't want to BS'ed into buying a new server.

Is there anywhere in the SSMS to see the start time of a currently running job, currently running it's first step, without needing to run a query?
If not, why would Microsoft decide to not show it in the job activity monitor?

We're looking at optimizing some of our tables because we have indexes on columns that are not used. So for example we might have a table that has 6GB of data and 4GB in indexes (according to sp_spaceused). We need to know how much of the 4GB of indexes is consumed by each of the indexes individually. I've tried dbcc showcontig, but that doesn't tell me the amount of space used by the index that I run it for.
Second (and by far not as important), is there a way to determine how much space is being consumed by data in a specific column. The original creator of some of the tables added an incrementing identity column that is used no where in the system. I'd like to be able to say..."If we drop this column we'll save XXX in space."
Knowing the index space is more critical, the column space would be nice but not necessary.

I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.
I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.
I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!
Thanks!

Hey!
I'm trying to produce a user activity table out of a table that contains rows on when users log in or out. However, I can't seem to get the query to 'pick' the right date time in the join.
So, I have a table like this:
ChangeIDUserIDLoggedInDateTime
7107/30/06 12:30PM
6117/30/0612:20PM
5107/29/06 11:00AM
4117/29/06 10:30AM
3205/03/06 6:30PM
2215/03/065:30PM
1205/01/06 9:30AM
0215/01/06 9:15AM
And I want to make it into this table:
UserIDLoggedInDateLoggedOutDateDuration
17/29/06 10:30AM7/29/06 11:00AM30
17/30/06 12:20PM7/30/06 12:30PM10
25/01/06 9:15AM5/01/06 9:30AM15
25/03/065:30PM5/03/06 6:30PM60
Here is what I came up with, but it doesn't seem to be working right :eek:
select
distinct (userin.changeid),
userin.userid,
userin.createdate as LoggedInDate,
userout.createdate as LoggedOutDate,
DateDiff(mm,userin.createdate,userout.createdate) as Duration
from userChange userin
inner join (
select * from userChange
where loggedin = 0
) userout on userin.userid = userout.userid
where and userin.loggedin = 1 and userin.createdate < userout.createdate
order by userin.createdate desc

Hello,
we need to track date/time of last update for each record in a table.
As we understand it, we can't use field type Timestamp as this type does
not use dates/times.
Is there any SQL function available which we can bind to a column or
do we really have to use triggers?

I`m developing a library catalog in SQL server with a Cold Fusion front end, and I`m having some trouble with setting due dates for books when they get checked out. Most items in the library are due in a week, a month, etc., so it is easy to calculate the due date. However, we have a number of items that are due at the end of the working day.
So, I need to find a way to calculate "the next 5 PM", no matter what time of day it is, and store it in a datetime field? Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi!I use SQL Server Express 2005 and would like that a trigger is fired automatically at a specific time. I have been developing a game which has a lot of periods with a start date and an end date. Every time a periode is finished the trigger should add new records for the next periode. The dates of the periodes are already setted at the beginning of the game. For example:periode startdate enddate1 23.08.2006, 15:00 24.08.2006, 17:002 24.08 .2006, 17:00 25.08.2006, 08:00and so onCan anyone help me how to do this? Thanks!

I am wondering if it€™s possible to lock a SQL table for specific amount of time, say 5 min.
There is a particular 'Phone' table on the database that should never get locked. Yet, during the development stages we have noticed that the table gets locked at time. The issue since has been resolved to the best of our ability, but, there is still a vague chance that the table can get locked due to the multiple jobs that query the table, when we go live.
If such a situation occurs, we just want to be able flip the switch that will send the server to the mirror mode and the previously mirrored database to become the principal.
So, I just want to recreate a situation by voluntarily locking the table.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

I'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.
UPDATEtbl
SETBody = LEFT(REPLACE(tbl.Body, pm.OldFirstName, p.FirstName), 7000)
FROM Table tbl
JOIN Person p ON p.PersonID = tbl.PersonID
JOIN PersonMap pm ON pm.PersonID = p.PersonID AND LEN(pm.OldFirstName) > 2
WHEREtbl.Body LIKE '%[^a-z]'+pm.OldFirstName+'[., ]%
'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.
