Relability? [part3, Zombie, Sorting(?)]
Feb 2, 2007
Hello again,
It seems that we are pushing IS to the limits :). And again - still SSIS engine version RTM, so my comment may have been addressed in SP1 or HF1. A package is executed by SQL Agent once every day. Once in a fortnight it stalls - goes to the zombie mode. The status of the package in the SQL Agent monitor is "Executing", while log file reports nothing.
Now, I believe it is caused by sorting component in the data flow task. I have three reasons for doing so: the log file shows that data sources were read; I think I have seen it once in MS Studio and finally - previous version of the package without sorting worked fine for several months.
In our case, we used sorting for merging datasets - we decided to use staging (temporary) tables and lookups to the same task. Going live today, so hopefully it will be a valid work around.

In my previous thread, we established that my system does not have SP1 applied. Apparently packaging of SQL Server SP1 is not so easy and while SQL Engine was updated SSIS is still in RTM.
Anyway, after months(!) of running we hit following:
An error occurred while initializing the flat file parser.
The PrimeOutput method on component "Flat File Source" (27679) returned error code 0xC0202093. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
Thread "WorkThread0" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown.
Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039.
I could not find anything regarding 0xC0202093, but re-starting SQL & IS services cured the problem. I am putting it here, so others learn from our experience. Probably re-starting IS engine would be enough.
Someone may say that re-starting of the service is a piece of cake. In the developers enviroment - it is. In the enterprise production system, where corporate rules are applied - it is a nightmare: it has to be approved, it has to be documented ("Can you prove that re-starting will cure the problem?") and it has to be done by a DBA - and that together cost real money.

We are having a really big problem with a zombie process/transactionthat is blocking other processes. When looking at Lock/ProcessIDunder Current Activity I see a bunch of processes that are blocked byprocess 94 and process 94 is blocked by process -2. I assume -2 is azombie that has an open transaction. I cannot find this process tokill and it seems that this transaction is surviving databaserestarts. I know which table is locked up and when I run a select *from this table it never returns. Does anyone have any ideas as tohow to kill is transaction.Any help is appreciated.A. Tillman

I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

SSRS 2012 - VS2010...The report compares two years with a sort order on a value that has been engineered based on text switched to int. When sorting A-Z this is the result in the horizontal axis is: 5th, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th..When sorting Z-A the result in the horizontal axis is:5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, PreK..Z-A is correct but A-Z sorting shows 5th as the start and end. The magnitude of the PreK location is correct but the label is wrong on the A-Z sort order. The sorting is implemented using the Category Group sorting option.

I have a text field in the form of numbers separated by periods like this: 1,1.2,1.2.1
When I sort, it works fine unless I get out to 10 digits.
Desired sort: 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.2,.....,1.1.9,1.1.10
Actual sort: 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.10,1.1.2,.....,1.1.9
The 10 is showing up smaller than the 2 because of the straight text comparison, any ideas on how to get around this?

I have a gridview that has AllowSorting="true" however I need to implement my own sorting because I have DateTime and Integer data types in several of the columns and I don't want an int column sorted like 1,12,2,23,3,34,4,45,5,56, etc. So, I've added SortParameterName="sortBy" and adjusted my stored procedure to accept this. For only ASC sorting, I've got
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortBy='' THEN DateCreated END, CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated' THEN DateCreated END
and so on. However, columns can also be sorted with DESC. I tried CASE WHEN @sortBy='DateCreated DESC' THEN DateCreated DESC END, but I get a syntax error on DESC. How can I do this?

I am trying to set up custom paging and sorting with my gridview. All is well but the sorting. The problem is with the stored procedure. If I pass in the value @sortExpression as, for example "discussions_Posts.post_time", i does not sort it at all. But if I replace the @sortExpression with discussions_Posts.post_time in the actual stored procedure, it gets sorted. how do I sort this query with a input parameter with values like "discussions_Topics.topic_title" or something? ALTER PROCEDURE discussions_GetTopicsSubSet@startRowIndex as int,@maximumRows as int,@sortExpression as nvarchar(50),@board_id as intASDECLARE @Topics TABLE(RowNumber INT,topic_id INT,topic_title VARCHAR(50),topic_replies INT,topic_views INT,topic_type INT,topic_time DATETIME,post_id int,post_time DATETIME,Topic_Author_UserName nvarchar(256),Topic_Author_ID uniqueidentifier,Post_Author_Username nvarchar(256),Post_Author_ID uniqueidentifier)--DECLARE @TopicsFrom Datetime--SELECT @TopicsFrom = CASE @TopicsDays WHEN '1' THEN DATEADD(day,-1,getdate()) WHEN '2' THEN DATEADD(day,-7,getdate()) WHEN '3' THEN DATEADD(day,-14,getdate()) WHEN '4' THEN DATEADD(month,-1,getdate()) WHEN '5' THEN DATEADD(month,-3,getdate()) WHEN '6' THEN DATEADD(month,-6,getdate()) WHEN '7' THEN DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) ELSE DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()) END-- populate the table CAST(getdate() as int)INSERT INTO @TopicsSELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY @sortExpression), discussions_Topics.topic_id, discussions_Topics.topic_title, discussions_Topics.topic_replies, discussions_Topics.topic_views, discussions_Topics.topic_type,discussions_Topics.topic_time, discussions_Posts.post_id, discussions_Posts.post_time, user_1.UserName AS Topic_Author_Username, user_1.UserId AS Topic_Author_ID, user_2.UserName AS Post_Author_Username, user_2.UserId AS Post_Author_IDFROM discussions_Topics INNER JOIN discussions_Posts ON discussions_Posts.post_id = discussions_Topics.topic_last_post_id INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_1 ON user_1.UserId = discussions_Topics.topic_poster INNER JOIN aspnet_Users AS user_2 ON user_2.UserId = discussions_Posts.poster_idWHERE (discussions_Topics.board_id = @board_id ANDdiscussions_Topics.topic_type NOT LIKE '1' )SELECT * from @TopicsWHERE RowNumber BETWEEN @startRowIndex AND (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows) - 1

This is more of a SQL question than a .NET question, but if you could indulge me, I'd appreciate it.
I have a table that has 2 columns of particular interest for the purposes of this question. One is a foreign key to another table (int), the other is a name (varchar(50). I want to sort the results set in a specific way. I want to sort it in such a way that all entries that have the foreign key = 0 come first (sorted ASC by name) then I'd like all the other results with foreign key column > 0 to be sorted ASC by name. I was trying to be cute and tried an order by statement like this: "ORDER BY (foreignKey > 0), name" but it's a syntax error (as I initially thought it might be). I know I could probably do a stored procedure that will create a temporary table and I could insert a new column to help put these in order, and I also know I could put all the results into an array, then sort the array in code, but I was just wondering if there was a simpler, slicker way (tricky SQL query perhaps).

Hi,
I hope I can explain what I am trying to achieve (in MS SQL Server):
The results set that shows Names and Dates (plus others, but not relevant here), that needs to be sorted by Date and then by name.
I have tried:
ORDER BY date, surname, forename (gives dates in right order but not names)
and
ORDER BY surname, forename, date (gives names in right order but not dates)
Thanks for any advice!

I noticed when looking at the execution path that the SQL sort (order by) was taking up 16% of the total for the query. However the execution time for the sort was like .007 ms in SQL so I doubt it was really that much overhead.
Is it more effecient to sort a dataset within my asp.net program?

hi,
i am trying to figure out how to sort the data in a column in an ascending way when the column contains numeric and char data.
In the example I want to sort by category,lookup value. However, as you can see the top two rows are sorted right but the others are all messed up.
I would really appreciate any hints you can give me.
thanks
Rozina

I have a table with a composite primary key (ie a,b, autoInteger)
that includes an auto-incrementing system generated integer.
How do I sort out the records such that if a and b above repeat, I only
get the records with the highest autoInteger?
Thanks for any suggestions

Hiya,
I'm back with another question.
I have a view of a table which contains users. the SQL is:
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwTravellers
AS
SELECT TravellerID AS ID, LTRIM(RTRIM(LastName)) + ', ' + LTRIM(RTRIM(FirstName)) + ' - DOB:' + LEFT(RTRIM(DOB), 11) AS Value
FROM dbo.tblTravellers
I would like to be able to sort the view by LastName, Firstname, but it doesnt allow a SORT BY in the view. Does anyone know of a cheeky little trick I could use to get around this?
Cheers
Guy

I am trying to sort a matrix by column. I first tried adding an interactive sort to the column heading, but it either gave me a run-time error, or there was not response. I then tried adding sorting to the row groups, and that doesn't seem to work either. I feel I have done every combination of groupings and sort expressions. Has anyone been able to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Kris

Hi,
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I'm trying to sort/order on this special field/column that I have created to allow precise ordering. However, for all of the values that are returned, if there are any NULLS, they are returned first/ahead of the values of what I want to be returned first. This field/column I created is called 'POW' (stands for Priority on Web). The values are just integers, 1-whatever, and we try to make sure that they're all unique. So for example, if we have a 1 in that field, then that row should be returned first, and if another row has 2, then it should be next. However, this is not working exactly - all of the NULL values are returned FIRST, then the proper values in the correct order. I want the NULLS to be last, because it may take some time for someone to go into each record, and assign it a unique value. My current SQL statement reads:
mySQL = "SELECT SignTypes.Id, SignTypes.SignType, SignTypes.SignDescription, SignTypes.FinalSignWidth, SignTypes.FinalSignHeight FROM SignTypes JOIN PropLocSigns ON SignTypes.Id = PropLocSigns.SignTypeID WHERE PropLocSigns.PropLocID = " & Session("PropID") & " AND (RestrictOnWeb = 0 OR RestrictOnWeb IS NULL) ORDER BY SignTypes.POW; SELECT @@ROWCOUNT"
So if someone knows of a way to put NULLS last, and still have my proper ordering, that would be great! I would think that there's some simple way of doing this, but not being an expert, I don't know. Thanks for the help!

hi all..just a quick question about sorting a query. let us say that i am running a select statement that involves 3 or 4 tables and one of the columns in one of the tables is a divisions column. based on the records, there is a specific division that i want to appear first in the list. its not alphabetically possible nor is it the keys associated with it allow it to be selected first. how would i go about pulling that particular record from the divisions column to be listed first in my query? thanks alot

Hello,
I have an appointment table that stores the appt time as varchar. For example, 1:00 PM or 9:00 AM. When I say "ORDER BY Appointment.Time", it puts 1:00 PM before 9:00 AM. How do I make it put 9:00 before instead? Could you please help me out.
Please note, I store time as varchar because it is much more convenient for me through out the application that way.
Thank you very much.

I have three tables: one that holds users, on that holds products, and one that holds votes on products (fields are userid, productid, and the vote they made (1-5)). I am trying to come up with a query that orders the product result set by number of votes both descending and ascending for a particular user. If a user has not voted, then there will not be anything in the vote table for that user. I am not even sure where to begin on this as it is way out of my SQL experience.
This is a normal query I use to just pull them out ordered by name.
SELECT PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID, PRODUCTS.P_NAME, USERS.U_USERNAME
FROM [PRODUCTS]
INNER JOIN [USERS] ON USERS.USER_ID = PRODUCTS.USER_ID
WHERE STATUS_ID = 1
ORDER BY PRODUCTS.P_NAME DESC
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
