Reducing Failover Time
Jul 12, 2006Hi All,
Is it possible to reduce the automatic failover time on MS SQL 2005? It seems to take around a minute on my servers.
Thanks for your help.

Reducing Excel Rendering Time
Feb 20, 2008We have a reporting system where the default rendering format is HTML.
HOwever, in some cases user may export the data into Excel aftergenerating
the report in HTML. Howveer, this export is taking too much time. eg 5500
row report in HTML takes around 8 minutes to export into excel. Is there a
workaround for this? Please note that default rendering has to be in HTML
only.
Also another feature noticed is that in RS 2005, the report server execution
log seems to be logging seperate entries for export feature as well. This
was not happening in RS2000. Is this a new feature in RS2005 or is the
underlying SP for the new report being called again when the export to excel
happens?
Any help would be appreciated
Reducing Time On Retrieving Large Amount Of Data
May 5, 2003Hi,
My application needs to retrieve data from a table which has more than 15 lakh records. The records keep increasing in thousands every 15 days.
Is there anyway i can reduce the time to retrieve? basically i have a select statement with a few conditions and a clause for the id's of these records.
Time To Manually Failover?
Mar 8, 2007When I force Mirroring to fail over while watching the Mirroring Monitor I notice something interesting. Before I failover, the servers are synchronized and there is zero unsent log and zero unrestored log. When I failover, the mirror changes to "restoring", stays there for about four minutes, switches to "Principal, restoring", and then the unsent log and unrestored log numbers jump to values in the tens of megabytes, and we spend time restoring.
We wait about five minutes between requesting the failover and having the servers back up again, answering requests.
Why does failover take so long? We've been thinking that failover shouludn't take so long because the servers think they're synched. What causes the log spooling spike? Is the state refelcted by the mirroring monitor inaccurate?
Increase Time Period For Failover
Apr 17, 2008Hi,
We are having 8 databases mirrored with witness server, by default automatic failover occure in 10 secs if witness does not get a ping from a principal server.
If there any way to increase the failover time perioed.

No Failover And Client Crashes ODBC DSN Setting For Failover In Connection String
Mar 3, 2007We have set up Mirroring with a witness server and everything works fine when we failover from the SQL Management console.
However, if we failover when our Maccola client is connected, the client blows up - clearly because it can no longer connect to the database.
The ODBC DSN used by the Maccola client shows a checkbox for the 'select a failover server' but the checkbox is grayed out.
Also the summary of settings for the DSN at the end of the wizard reveals that the failover to server (y/N) option is set to N.
The default setting for this DSN is 'populate the remaining values by querying the server' but it doesn't appear to be getting the settings for failover from the server or any other interactive DSN settings either. The server is clearly set for mirroring.
Another suspicious item is that the DSN cannot connect to the server with SA permissions, even though the server is set to mixed security and we use the correct authentication.
Is it possible that the client MACHINE is not authenticating with the domain or sql server properly. We are logged into the client with the domain account that is the SQL admin account on the sql server box.
We should be able to interact with the sql server settings through the ODBC DSN on the client shoulnd't we?
Are we missing a service pack on the client?
Thanks,

Reducing 3 SQL Transactions To Just 1
Jan 9, 2008Hi guys, how are you?
Ive got a little question, i hope you can help me up
in sql server i have 3 tables
Code:
user
id_user - autoincremental int, primary key
username - varchar 30
car
id_car - autoincremental int, primary key
carName - varchar 30
user_car
id_user - int, foreign key
id_car - int, foreign key
what i want to do, is to
1.- insert a row in User,
2.- insert a row in Car
3.- using SCOPE_IDENTITY, to insert a new row in user_car that relates the ids of the last added car with the last added user.
But i need that to be done in one single transaction.
Once that is done, i have another question
how can i do the same but where i can add a variable number of different cars? in other words, i add 1 user and then add 5 cars, then create 5 rows in the user_car where i have the id of the last added user with the incremental id of the last 5 added cars
how can this be done in one single transaction, i cant make it in 3 transactions cuz it would cause me a lot of trouble. Any help?
my transaction should be something like this
Code:
insert into user(username) values('user1');
insert into car(carName) values('car1');
insert into user_car(???,???)
but im not sure how to do this in one single transaction
Reducing LDF Files
Apr 18, 2007Hi,
If I understand it correctly, you only need an LDF file to restore to a point in time after the last full backup? If this is so, then Could the LDF file not be reduced in size on perfoming a full backup?
Most of the time it's not an issue as there is enough space on the HDD, but is it possible to reduce the ldf file size periodically (manually would be fine). Is changing the recovery mode from FULL to SIMPLE and then back to FULL an option?
If so, is anyone able to tell me how, exactly, I can do this? ... I've sifted through the documentaion to no avail ... :eek:
Many thanks

Reducing Number Of Extents
Jul 29, 2002Hi all,
I have started to look at the way our production DB has been defined and set up, with the view to improving performance.
The DB is now 11gb, and the original size was set up as 3000mb, the rest has been take in 10% additional extents.
Now, back in my DB2 DBA days, this was a bad thing to have any data spread across extents as they may not be contiguous. I am assuming that is the same with SQL Server. Can someone confirm/deny this?
If this is the case, how can I get the DB back into one primary partition?
Thanks in advance.

Reducing Redundancies In XML Output
Feb 9, 2012Having difficulty achieving an end-result in transforming the results of a rowset query into XML.
Here is simplified test code that displays my problem:
declare @TimesheetHdrs table (EmpID int,EntryYear smallint,EntryPeriod tinyint,AdminNotes varchar(max),UserNotes varchar(max))
declare @TimesheetDtls table (EmpID int,EntryYear smallint,EntryPeriod tinyint,ProjCode varchar(25),ActCode varchar(25),ExpendCode varchar(10),EntryDate date,EntryQty decimal(7,2))
declare @Projects table (ProjCode varchar(25),ProjName varchar(200))
[Code] ....
The result of the above code is the following:
Code:
<root>
<timesheet empid="1" entryyear="2012" entryPeriod="1" adminnotes="These are the admin notes" empnotes="These are the user notes">
<project projnum="TestProject" projname="The really big project for our best customer">
<activity actcode="000103020200302302322" actname="Demolish the 55th story of the main tower">
[Code] ....
Notice how there is a tremendous amount of redundancy in the XML. I was hoping to come up with an XML result of the following, which transmits the same data, without the redundancies.
Code:
<root>
<timesheet empid="1" entryyear="2012" entryPeriod="1" adminnotes="These are the admin notes" empnotes="These are the user notes">
<project projnum="TestProject" projname="The really big project for our best customer">
<activity actcode="000103020200302302322" actname="Demolish the 55th story of the main tower">

Reducing Reads Question
Aug 24, 2007I'm trying to insert all the rows from a table to a new table.
(insert A select * from AA)
The reads on Profiler shows ar really high value (10253548).
First I created a unique clustered index and the reads shows (3258445), then I created a non clustered index expecting to have lower reads. Instead the reads shows (10253548).
I read creating indexes helps reduce reads. But it's not happening.
Any ideas what is going on?

May 19, 2008Hi all,
We currently have an e-commerce app written in .NET with SQL Server backend and built-in CMS that works just fine. We are now implementing a service to remove the need for the CMS by automating the synchronisation of the e-commerce database with a back-office database (non SQL Server). The problem we have run into is that during some of the larger updates to the website (i.e. new product information), the e-commerce system is experiencing timeouts. The synchronisation service uses transactions while performing updates and so I am assuming that the timeouts are being caused by the transactions locking tables and data.
What steps can I take to try to reduce these locks? The transactions are as short as possible so I do not think we can reduce the amount of processing each transaction deals with. I was looking at different isolation modes, Snapshot in particular, to reduce the locks, but would like some advice from someone who may have dealt with this type of situation before I start messing around here. (The synchronisation service uses the default ReadCommitted level, BTW)
Any advice you have to offer will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Stephen.

Reducing Log File Size
Feb 12, 2008
I have a database who is in full recovery mode. I have four maintenence plans setup: database backup, log backup, optimization and integrity checkup. The last two plans run weekly and the first two run daily. I found that the log size often increase to a dramatically size in a very short period, almost same size as the database file (4G). Further I found that the size seems increase a lot after the last two plan runs.
My question is that the optimization operation(reconstruct index page) will write any reocord to log file? Is this possible a reason?
Now the log file occupy too much disk space (90% of space can be free). What I should do? Shrink database weekly?
Thanks

Reducing Database Size (contains Images)
Jun 8, 2004Hello. I am wondering how to effectively reduce the size of my database. After viewing the individual table sizes, I have come to realize that nearly 99% of the database's size is due to images. I am told that too much binary data is not good. How can I go about reducing the size of my database (possibly the images themselves)? I'd appreciate any help.
View 11 Replies View RelatedReducing The Size Of The Transaction Log File
Oct 3, 2006At this time I am only playing with the applications that generate the data and send it to the database. Without doing too much, and with deleting most data tables that were created, my transaction log file has grown over a gigabyte. I tried using the SQL server management studio (express) to shrink the database (tried shrinking files, too) but that did not make the file smaller. Right now there is hardly any data in the database (6 tables, a dozen columns and rows each) so it must be old transactions that are kept in the log. How do I get rid of the old data and make the file size smaller? Thanks.
