I am having a pretty major problem with my SQL server. Everytime that I try to query the database I receive a timeout expired error. Even trying to open the query anylyzer, it presents me with that error. We have a we based ISP management solution and it cannot access the SQL either. This was an all the sudden problem and I have ran the performance monitor to try and look at the statistics. Everything seems like it is checking out. I even tried increasing the Timeout up to 20 seconds and it still will not function properly. Any suggestions?

Description: In the past I had an issue with the replication that suddenly became expired (no reason at all) and I had to re-do the whole thing from scratch. This is a transactional replication (SQL2.5K -> SQL2.5K) and the subscriber is used as warehouse where applications also inserting data (with neg. seed values for the PKs). This means applying the snapshot from the publisher is not applicable because there are data which will be lost from subscriber.
Question: Since the applying snapshot is not an option for reinitializing the subscription (initially was created without snapshot - from the backup and restore is not applicable at this stage) I need to find implementation way for two things:
1. I need subscription never get marked as expired (I did disable job "Expired subscription clean up" but still the replication can be marked as expired from the "Distribution clean up" job which I am not suppose to disable - this has different function as well - cleaning up the delivered transactions)
2. Safely dropping articles from the publication without applying snapshot to the subscriber (see reason above - num.1). If you force to drop the articles, does this mean that the subscription will be marked as expired after period of time? (This again will lead to problems as above).
Please, give me your opinion and/or best practices how to solve these problems. Other than that I am very happy with the improvements in the replication domain in SQL 2005.

I have two tables totally unrelated but give the same information, the difference is the duration. I need to create a stored procedure that will give the recent issue dates only, accept if they have already expired. I'm not exactly sure how to do that. We only want the employees to see the current issue date as long as the exclusion has not expired. Can anyone help please. What needs to happen is that the employees need to see only the exclusions that have expired which is based on the Expiration Date.
Code Block
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SrchIssueDateLstNm_RecntIssueDte]
@StartIssueDate datetime = null,
@EndIssueDate datetime = null,
@Enter_LastName nvarchar(10) = null
AS
SELECT [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[First Name], [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[Last Name], [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[Issue Date],
[dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[First Name], [dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[Last Name], [dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[Issue Date]
FROM [dbo].[30 Day exclusion]
INNER
JOIN [dbo].[Extended Exclusions]
ON [dbo].[Extended Exclusions].[ID] = [dbo].[30 Day exclusion].[id]
WHERE (@StartIssueDate is null or [Issue Date] >= @StartIssueDate)
AND (@EndIssueDate is null or [Issue Date] <= @EndIssueDate)
AND (@Enter_LastName is null or [Last Name] = @Enter_LastName)
ORDER BY [Last Name]
Setup:
SQL Server 2005 -> Merge pull subscription via HTTPS -> public retention
period is 7 days
Question:
If for some reason I don't synzhronize in 7 days (lets say the Internet is
down for whatever reason), can I reinitialize the subscription on day 9 and
still upload changes to the publisher or not?
I'm guessing the latter based on this:

Hello,
Is there a way to find out many days you have left on the trial period or is there a way to find out when it was created. I get the feeling it will just not work one of these days and I'll have to figure out something on the fly.
Thank in advance
I have a question on how the retain parameter works for Backups. If I have a nightly full backup for a database and have retain = 10, does that mean on the 11th day the very first backup will be purged? Will the 11th backup attempt to take up some of the space that was occupied by that first backup? It seems that the 11th backup would be too large for the space that the first backup was taking up. I am fairly new to backups with SQL Server and want to ensure I am setting this up properly. Our goal is to keep backups for 10 days only.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table containing several date fields in which certain events happened, and I need to be able to find the expiration date for renewal. The expiration dates are at the end of the 6th, 12th, or 24th month after the event occurred, depending on the event.
Is there a way to return in a query the last day of month x following a date field? For instance, if the date '3/12/2006' is stored in the field for a 12-month expiration, I need to return '3/31/2007'.
Any ideas?

This may seem like a stupid question but i am trying to get the hang of the new security model.
I have not really heard anything mentioned about certficate expiration date when it comes to creating certificates for keys or service broker endpoints etc.
We have created certificates for keys and service broker endpoints, now what exactly happens when the expiration date, by default 1 year i think is reached, will we no longer be able to decrypt encrypted data and will the service broker endpoints stop working etc ?
Or is this expiration date when the certificate can no longer be used to create security objects ? And all security objects already created with this certificate will always work ?
In other words is there ever danger that keys and endpoints or basically any object referrencing this certificate will just suddenly stop working one day, or will all objects work indefinately regardless of an certificate/objects expiration date ?
Thanx
We are getting the following error message sporadically:
Network error code 0x2746 occurred while establishing a connection; the connection has been closed. This may have been caused by client or server login timeout expiration. Time spent during login: total 6108 ms, enqueued 1 ms, network writes 1 ms, network reads 6108 ms, establishing SSL 6107 ms, negotiating SSPI 0 ms, validating login 0 ms. [CLIENT: #.#.#.#]
We are seeing this message because we enabled some DBCC trace flags to try and figure out why our clients are having their connections terminated to the SQL 2005 (x64) server we have in production. It appears that the establishment of SSL is taking a very long time according to the log entry. What is using SSL? I'm assuming it is trying to communicate with one of my domain controllers and I'd like to know what perfmon counters i should watch to see what's going on. Is it making an LDAPS connection or kerberos? Or native ntlm?
We've already updated the NIC drivers/firmware and disabled the TcpChimney setting mentioned in the KB articles, but nothing so far has had an effect. I'm now trying to figure out if my DC is overloaded but don't know what counters to look at.
Thanks

First question: I have sql server 2005 enterprise eval edition installed. is there a query, command or tool can tell me the exact expiration date? I understand it is 180 day but I still want some way to query the exact date.
Second question: does sql server log any warning message before eval expires?
I have had SQL2005 on a server for a very short period of time. Today I found that I am not able to execute an SSIS package in debug. It give me an error stating that the evaluation period has expired for data transformation services. I went to check the version by querying, but nothing happens when I click on the Server Management Studio link.
Has anyone seen this before or how long the trial version should last?
Does anyone know what version may have been installed on my server?
Thanks,
Is there any way I can check the remaining time before I must upgrade
an SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition? I thought I had made a note about
which day it was.
Can I rely upon the file date for uninstallation file in Programs/etc ?
I would like to filter records with in effective date and expiration date; If there is no record within that range, then check for grace period records ( effective date -30 days and expiration date + 90 days)
Below is the detailed script for sample data...
declare @tab table ( sno int identity, name varchar(100), EFFECTIVE_DATE date, EXPIRATION_DATE date)
insert into @tab (name, EFFECTIVE_DATE , EXPIRATION_DATE )
SELECT 'chandu', GETDATE(), NULL union all
SELECT 'chandu', '2014-02-11 00:00:00' , '2014-03-20 00:00:00' union all
SELECT 'AAA', '2014-01-11 00:00:00' , '2014-05-11 00:00:00' union all
[Code] ...
Output:
/*
snonameEFFECTIVE_DATEEXPIRATION_DATE
1chandu2014-03-11NULL

Expected output:

Hello,
I am building a winforms .net 3.5 application which connects to a SQL Server 2005 database with SQL server authentication. Is it possible to access the SQL Server password policy and expiration through the .NET 3.5 framework? I would like add the following functionality to my login form:
Ensure passwords meet policy standard.
Prompt a user to change their password when it is due to expire in 5 days or less.
Thanks in advance.
I have configured a Linked Server with Active Directory (LDAP), working properly.
Now, through this Linked Server, I need information about password expiration date in my AD Domain accounts.
Numerous articles (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/administration/2000/security/securingsqlserver.asp, even one that I wrote, http://www.dbazine.com/sql/sql-articles/cook12) state that to secure SQL Server, the SQL Server services should not run as Local System. That advice is useful only if making the change is not overly disruptive or is even allowable. My two most recent clients have absolutely rigid password expiration policies that require all account passwords to be changed at regular intervals. Realistically, that makes a compelling case for running as Local System.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe need to use SQL Server Authentication for some reason and would like to enforce Password Policy with 90-day expiration period. I found "Change password" dialogue appears when I first logged in with the new user, but don't know
(1)what happens when the user failed to change the password before it's expired or
(2)how a user can change his password in advance of the expiration date with no particular server-level permission.
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.
I have a customer they are running raid 5 on a windows 2000 server one of the drives went bad.

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.
I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.
1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?
2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?
3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?
4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?
I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.
Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.
5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?

I need to write a process to get file size in kb and record count in a file. I was planning on writing a c# console app that takes the file path and name as a param however should i use a CLR?
I cant put a script in the ssis when it's bringing the file down because it has been deemed that we only use ssis for file consumption.
For a database, we have 4 data files in a particular file group and the file sizes are almost 70 GB each.
Do I come across any performance issues if I create/pre-allocate an additional data file in the same file group so that the existing files don't grow too much?
I have a package in which there are only one Data flow Task and it has only three components. 1) Source , which is a SQL db 2) destination and 3) OLE DB Destination flat file Error output file. I want the error file to be created ONLY if there is any error while dumping the data into destination DB. But , the issue is, the error flat file is being created inspite of No error while dumping the data from Source to Destination.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
@[User::Output_Path] + "Comms_File"+ @[User:: FileNumber] +"_" + replace((DT_WSTR, 10) (DT_DBDATE) GETDATE(),"-","")+ ".txt"
All this successfully creates these 4 files:
Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt, Comms_File_3_20150724.txt, Comms_File_4_20150724.txt
Now the QUESTION is how do I get these filenames as I need to insert them into a DB Audittable. The audit table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MMMAudit
(
AuditID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
PackageName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
FileName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
LoadTime DATETIME NULL,
NumberofRecords INT NULL
)
To save the Filename & how many records in each file in our Audit Table, am using an Execute SQL Task and configuring it as this:
Execute SQL Task
Parameter mapping - Mapped the User Variable (RecordsInserted) and System Variable( PackageName) to Insert statement as shown below
SQLStatement: INSERT INTO [dbo].[MMMAudit] (
PackageName,NumerofRecords,LoadTime)
(?,?.GETDATE)
Again this all works terrific & populates the dbo.MMMAudit table as shown below BUT I also need to insert the respsctive file name – How do I do that?
AuditID PackageName FileName NumberOfRecords
1 MMM NULL 12
2 MMM NULL 23
3 MMM NULL 14
4 MMM NULL 1
