I have a windows forms application that runs on my PC that populates a SQL Server Compact 2005 database and then transfers that .sdf file to my mobile device. The communication between the mobile device and PC is done using the Desktop RAPI class from OpenNetCF (http://www.opennetcf.com/FreeSoftware/DesktopCommunication/tabid/90/Default.aspx)
Anyway, I was previously using SQL Server Mobile 2005 and my populated .sdf was around 1.7 MB and I could transfer it to my mobile device in a minute. Once I switched to SQL Server Compact 2005, the transfer process began taking 3 minutes with a 1.5 MB .sdf file. The SSCE also got bloated more easily so I added in the Compact operation each time after I fully populate the SDF to keep the file size at 1.5 MB, but even then it still takes 3 minutes.
I've done a few tests where I simply switch between the two database versions and that simple switch of the version changes the transfer time. I am dumbfounded trying to figure out what the cause might be. Since it is just a file transfer, why would the version even matter unless somehow SSCE is really not compacting and lying about its actual size.
Has anyone run into anything similar to this or may have any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks.
hi,
I ran into a situation that if I don't use sql server for a while, in MS SQL Server Management Studio, when I run some query again, it takes a long time to respond. I looked into it with Activity Monitor, seems like the query was waiting for something, in the process view tab, it shows that:
WaitType: LATCH_EX
Resource: LOG_MANAGER(112F88C8)
What is the latch-ex? What should I check next to find out the problem?
Thanks.
It's to slow when I handle XML field in SQL 2005!
I find that it's slow when I handle XML field (maybe only stored 200kb date) in SQL 2005! Especially when I insert a sub tree to XML field !I have indexed the XML field.
Is it possible that the XML field is not ripe in SQL 2005 database?
Hi all,
I am having a problem ,SQL server is running very slow.This is happening some days only.For example my stored procedure ususally runs less than 2 minutes, some days will take 13minutes.I dont understand the problem.All the stored procedure having the same problem.Sorry, I am not a DBA,basically a devloper.Daily morning we are taking the DB backup and indexes already applied.DB size 10461.06 MB,RAM 4GB,CPU usage is less than 50%,This is a Cinema Database,so lot of users are accessing at same time(Web,IVR,cinema ticket counters etc).We are using SQL reports.Because of the stored procedure running slow,can not view the reports.pls advice..
please help me..If you need some more information please ask ..
Thanks in advance.
Hi!
I have a SQLServer 2005 running om a 64bit cluster. It is used to run a SharePoint 2007 portal. My problem is that the access to the database from the other servers in the farm is very slow.
I made a test program in C# that creates a standard .Net sqlConnection and runs a simple query 100 times. When run on the database server it takes less than a second, but when I run it from the web frontend server it takes 30 seconds. It never fails, it's just slow. The network connection is fast when copying files etc.
I see nothing out of the ordinary in the event log.
Do any of you have an idea what might be the problem or know how I could try to find the problem?
Thanks!
Hi There:
Does anyone experience an slow installation process of SQL 2005 on a MS Cluster enviroment ?
I checked the scheduler on node2 and the status is running and no more information on the logs other than the starting time which it was 17 hours ago.
Thanks in advance

I've just moved a website/database application from windows server 2000 and sql server 2000 to windows server 2003 sp2 and SQL 2005 Express SP2. Database intensive pages now take about 40 seconds where before they took 2-3 seconds.
Things I've tried that haven't helped...
- I changed the ADODB connection string
from: sCnString = "dsn=mydsn;Database=mydatabase;uid=myuid;pwd=mypassword"
to: sCnString = "driver={SQL Native Client};server=myserverSQLEXPRESS;Database=mydatabase;uid=myuid;pwd=mypassword"
- Checked that autoclose is false.
What else can I look at?
hi~
our system to run the the job with SSIS package is slower than DTS package.
The SSIS package action is the same as DTS package.
Why?
What do I take care??
Thanks!!!
Hi,
I have got an application running which connects 2 databases and performs an action that copies data from one database to the other database.
When using SQL Server 2000 MSDE, it takes about 5 seconds.
When using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition it takes about 30 seconds.
For testing 2005, I use 'upgraded' databases, so same indexes and data. I tried reindexing the databases, but always get the same result.
My setup string for installing SQL Server 2005 Express is :
/qb ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=DBNAME SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=QWERTY SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
The code (ADO) is something like :
SELECT FROM original database
-- do something with data
INSERT INTO other database
Until EOF
Any idea how to solve this ???
P.S. When perfoming a simple Query on the databases (with 1.000.000 rows result) with SQL Server Management Studio Express, I see 37 seconds for SQL Server 2000 and 33 Second for SQL Server 2005. That is more the result I expect.

I have a linked tables from access 2003 to sql server 2005 connected using odbc.
the connection is very slow.
when i use the same linked tables to sql server 2000 the connection is fine.
what seems to be the problem???
Hello,
i want to install the SQL 2005 express Server on a HP-Netserver LH4 with 1 Xeon 500 CPU. I know, that i must have a 600MHz CPU, but i cant change the CPU. Is there one way to start the SQL server?
Thanks

i was using sql 2000, the database contains 500+ tables, 3000+ sp.
i moved to sql 2005 and found problem on generating script (right click database -> tasks -> generate scripts).
i need to generate the table relations.... it is very very slow compared to sql 2000 which is done in about 30 seconds to few minutes.
i already tried many ways including set options to false which in my thought could speed up a lot...but still very slow.
average generate script time with sql 2005 (sp 2): 70-90 minutes.
average generate script time with sql 2000 (sp 4): 2-3 minutes.
can anyone tell why ? thx in advance
Hello,
We have log-shipping set up between a source and 3 destination SS 2000 databases. Two of the destination servers actually perform their log restores across the network from the other secondary server. This allows us to only copy the files once from a remote location. All three servers stay caught up within 15 minutes of each other.
Recently, I added a fourth server to this that has SS 2005 SP2 (X64). I wrote a stored procedure that restores log backups from the same single location as the maintenance plan jobs. The problem that I'm experiencing is that this fourth server is not keeping up with the other three. It seems to take longer to restore the same log backups. The destination servers are all on the same domain. This fourth server was previously part of the same maintenance plan configuration as the others prior to rebuilding it for SS 2005 SP2 (X64). During that time, it stayed caught up with the other servers. There is another database on the new server that I am log-shipping to in the same manner and it stays caught up, though, for the most part, the log backups are smaller. There is a file on the fourth server with a ckp extension for the database in question that doesn't seem to exist for the other databases on this server and the other servers.
Any information on this behavior would be appreciated.
Hi
Here is the brief to my problemWe had our database on SQL Server 2000 and Windows 2000.This machine
had 2gb of RAM and dual Penitum 3 processors and about 25-30 users were
connected all the time. The size of database is around 2 gb. Even on this setup
rate of data retrival was good, never had any issues. We moved to SQL Server 2005 and Windows 2003. This machines has
2 Pentium Xeon 3.4 processors and 2 stick of KINGSTON 1024 MB 333
MHZ DDR DIMM ECC CL2.5 DUAL RANK X4 INTEL. The rate of data
retrival is awful and its very slow. It using about 1.7 to 1.9 gb of RAM all the
time. Page File usage is about 2.07 gb and Virtual Usage is about 1.7gb.I dont quiet understand why is it so slow to get data. We use bespoke software,
so nothing has changed there. Hardware specification of our server is far more better then the recommended
system requirement for SQL Server 2005.Am i missing something out or i havent set up the SQL Server properly? Any help would really be appreciated.Mits
Hi,
Recently our database has been migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 on a new server(machine) with windows 2003(previously windows 2000). If the database is retained on the same machine but with a named instance of 2005, the application(websphere 5.1) is behaving normal whereas if i configure the aplication to the new server it is running slow for some of the queries but not all.
This change will have to be implemented in production very soon. Any advise will be of great benefit
Thanks

Hello
we have two SqlServer 2005 in cluster. The machines act very slow (although the CPU load is low) as soon as we achieve one of these operations:
- drop / create database
- restore database
We achieve those operations through the SqlServer Browser or via sqlcmd.
Everything else is running smoothly.
Is there any known reason on why it can be so slow ?
best regards
Thibaut
(hope this is not too OT, but could not find any cluster-specific forum).
Sql 2005 Express with XPP SP2 and the latest MS updates sometimes runs very slow.
A SELECT which should take a fraction of a second can take several 10s of seconds.
I have checked autoclose is OFF for database using
use master
go
exec sp_dboption 'your_db_name','autoclose'
And it is definitely showing as OFF
I've looked at the Activity Monitor and when stalled it shows one or two processes for my database which are sleeping with 1 or 2 open transactions. When I look at their details they are simple select statements.
Often when my computer should be idle SqlServer.exe can be consuming 20 - 30% of cpu
I've noticed that I have TWO sqlservr.exe showing in my Task Manager, Processes display
One sqlservr.exe is 27K using about 17% even tho computer is idle has username NETWORK SERVICE
Other sqlservr.exe is 343K using 0% has user name SYSTEM
I don't know why.

...why the script generator in 2005 Management Studio is SO FREAKING SLOW!?
2000's EM would script out all the objects in a databases in 15 seconds. The new GUI is taking three-to-five seconds per object on my 1000 object database.
Man, the Management Studio interface is so lame.
Hello,I have a Win2K3 Server with SS2005 developers edition. I am working on aWindows XP Pro workstation which has SQL Server 2000 installed as well asthe SQL Native Client. I'm using an MS Access ADP to connect to the serverand for some reason it's extremely slow, even to the point of throwing timeout errors and "can't generate SSPI context" messages. I've hit the MSwebsite and found info on the SSPI error, but none of the items thatgenerate the error apply to my situation. I've tried using the surface areamanager to change the connection to name pipes, name pipes and tcpip etc,but no luck.Is there anything I should be looking at or any known issues that wouldaffect this kind of performance?Thanks!Rick

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has any idea why when using RS 2005, remote catalog, asp.net 2.0 and using the .net 2.0 reportviewer control on an aspx page it seem to run 15 - 20 times slower than if we use a local catalog. The two machine in the remote catalog setup have a 2gb network connect between them, the doesn't apear to be any network load on either machine.
Any ideas will be greatfully received.

Hi
I have the following configuration:
- Server with 8 AMD Opteron Processors
- 24 GB Memory
- Windows Server 2003 64 bit
- SQL 2005 64 bit
- EMC Storage
The main instance is defined to use 7 Processors and
has about 10 databases.
The problem is:
When I run a "simple" Query (DISTINCT or GROUP BY) on a Table
with something like 1 million rows, SQL 2005 is very very slow !!!
The same query is on a SQL 2000 about 1000times faster ...
Does anybody has some ideas how to configure the system
to make it more useful ... ??
Thanks for any comment.
Best regards

Hello sql and .net gurus :-)I have a problem with my website www.eventguide.it. It's completly developed under .NET 2 and SQL Server 2005 Express. My problem is the folowing:The server is a Intel 3Ghz HT processor with 1GB Ram. No other page on the running system is a CPU consuming site. We optimized the SQL statements, the code, the caching and many other parts of the website (pooling on SQL access), but the SQL Server uses about 50% to100% of the CPU and about 400MB RAM all the time. The whole site seems to be very, very slow. In fact there are many of SQL operations on every page request, but we cache a lot of them in different ways (page output caching, application caching). So I don't understand we have so much performance problems. Any suggestions for optimised code in general? I read nearly all of the MS .NET performance papers - but real world experience is the missing part :-) It is better to cast the values of a SQL reader like thisDim String1 as String = Ctype(DataReader.item(0), String)Dim Integer1 as Intger = Ctype(DataReader.item(1), Integer)or like thisDim String1 as String = DataReader.item(0)
Dim Integer1 as Intger = DataReader.item(1)Thanks a lot for your help!FOX
I am having major performance issues with Microsoft SQL 2005 x64 Standard Editions performance on Windows Server 2003 x64. The PC has two quad core cpu's with 8gb of ram and running a 500gb mirrored SCSI (Raid 1) drive system. The database running on the server is about 11gb. I've run a defrag several times which helps a little but I was hoping I could do something else to increase the performance.
I have also found that the bottle neck in the SSIS package is the backup and restore process of an 11gb database which takes about 1 hour (backup takes 1 hour and restore takes 1 hour) when it should take about 11 minutes. Is there anything I can do to make these processes run faster or to find out why they are taking so long? Any ideas would be a great help.
Thanks,

Creating a web application. Running a simple query "SELECT username FROM vwCustomer"
vwCustomer is a view built on top of an Access DB which is set up as a linked server. Within SQL Server that view responds immediately. But when I try to access it from an ASP page it takes over 20 seconds to respond.
Used the following to create the linked server:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'DBName', 'Jet 4.0', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:databasesdatabase.mdb'
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'DBName', FALSE, NULL, 'Admin', ''
GO
The view is simply(this works fine in SQL Server):
SELECT * FROM DBName.db.dbo.customer
The ASP page:
SELECT * FROM vwCustomer
Can anyone give me a hint as to where the bottleneck is? Or how I can figure that out using SQL Profiler or something?
Please help!
I have designed a fairly simple report in report designer that uses an analysis services cube as its input, and a basic matrix object as the primary design component. Cube performance either via object browser in Analysis Services or via connection from Excel is great. It does exactly what you build a cube for, i.e. it builds aggregations you can get to quickly. However rendering from a report designer report within Report Manager is a different story.
Even though this report is being rendered from an execution snapshot, it is painfully slow at opening and closing different levels of drill down. The report does have six levels of drill down, which I am sure is a factor. If I use a smaller dataset, performance does become more acceptable. However, I don't consider the requirements of my report to be all that extraordinary.
My conclusion thus far is that larger data sets with many possible page renderings are not the best candidates for HTML rendered reports. In this case Microsoft's cube analysis add-in to Excel might be a better choice. Thoughts and feedback on either how to improve the rendering speed or other presentation alternatives that would perform better would all be welcome.

Hi there,
I was wondering if someone can point out the error or the thing I shouldn't be doing in a stored procedure on SQL Server 2005. I want to switch from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 which all seems to work just fine, but one stored procedure is causing me headache.
I could pin the problem down to this query:
DECLARE @Package_ID bigint
DECLARE @Email varchar(80)
DECLARE @Customer_ID bigint
DECLARE @Payment_Type tinyint
DECLARE @Payment_Status tinyint
DECLARE @Booking_Type tinyint
SELECT @Package_ID = NULL
SELECT @Email = NULL
SELECT @Customer_ID = NULL
SELECT @Payment_Type = NULL
SELECT @Payment_Status = NULL
SELECT @Booking_Type = NULL
CREATE TABLE #TempTable(
PACKAGE_ID bigint,
PRIMARY KEY (PACKAGE_ID))
INSERT INTO
#TempTable
SELECT
PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID
FROM
PACKAGE (nolock) LEFT JOIN BOOKING ON PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID = BOOKING.PACKAGE_ID
LEFT JOIN CUSTOMER (nolock) ON PACKAGE.CUSTOMER_ID = CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_ID
LEFT JOIN ADDRESS_LINK (nolock) ON ADDRESS_LINK.SOURCE_TYPE = 1 AND ADDRESS_LINK.SOURCE_ID = CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_ID
LEFT JOIN ADDRESS (nolock) ON ADDRESS_LINK.ADDRESS_ID = ADDRESS.ADDRESS_ID
WHERE
PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID = ISNULL(@Package_ID,PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID)
AND PACKAGE.CUSTOMER_ID = ISNULL(@Customer_ID,PACKAGE.CUSTOMER_ID)
AND PACKAGE.PAYMENT_TYPE = ISNULL(@Payment_Type,PACKAGE.PAYMENT_TYPE)
AND PACKAGE.PAYMENT_STATUS = ISNULL(@Payment_Status,PACKAGE.PAYMENT_STATUS)
AND BOOKING.BOOKING_TYPE = ISNULL(@Booking_Type,BOOKING.BOOKING_TYPE)
-- If this line below is included the request will take about 90 seconds whereas it takes 1 second if it is outcommented
--AND ADDRESS.EMAIl LIKE '%' + ISNULL(@Email, ADDRESS.EMAIL) + '%'
GROUP BY
PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID
DROP TABLE #TempTable
The request is performing quite well on the SQL Server 2000 but on the SQL Server 2005 it takes much longer. I already installed the SP2 x64, I'm running the SQL Server 2005 on a x64 environment.
As I stated in the comment in the query it takes 90 seconds to finish with the line included, but if I exclude the line it takes 1 second.
I think there must be something wrong with the join's or something else which has maybe changed in SQL Server 2005. All the tables joined have a primary key.
Maybe you folks can spot the error / mistake / wrong type of doing things easily.
I would appreciate any help you can offer me to solve this problem.
On the web I saw that there is a Cumulative Update 4 for the SP2 which fixes the following:
942659 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942659/)
FIX: The query performance is slower when you run the query in SQL Server 2005 than when you run the query in SQL Server 2000
Anyhow I think the problem is something else, I haven't tried out the cumulative update yet, as I think it is something different, more general why this query takes ages to process.
Thanks again for any help

An SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I am writing a data access web page, but I find that the excution speed is too slow.
My data base is just a data table which have five columns: id, code, quantity, price and Date. The data base has about 45000 rows. When I use OSQL or Query function, speed is just fine.
Here is the main code which I think cause the speed slow:
string conn = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["connectionstring"];
SqlDataAdapter adapter_2 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from table",conn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adapter_2.Fill (ds,"table");
DataTable YahooOrders = ds.Tables["YahooOrders"];
DataRow[] product = new DataRow[20000];
.......
foreach (string s in split) // actually the split here has only one string in it
{
product = table.Select ("code like '"+s+"%' and Date >='"+minDate+"' and Date <='"+table.Select("Date = Max(Date)")[0][1].ToString()+"'");
foreach(DataRow myRow in product)
{
int count = Convert.ToInt32(myRow[2]);
itemQuantity = count + itemQuantity;
revenue = Convert.ToDouble(myRow[3]) * count + revenue;
// get product code, ignore repeated code
int myIndex=code.BinarySearch( myRow[1] );
if ( myIndex < 0 )
code.Add(myRow[1]);
}
orderQuantity = product.Length + orderQuantity;
}
The first foreach actually excutes just one time, so it won' t cause any speed problem.
The second foreach' s job is to sum each column of specified rows which is product here.
So, any ideas about this?
Thanks!
All,
Actually from the application the developers are using count(column) to know the no. of rows resulted by a statement which joins many tables but its taking lot of time.
Is there an easy way to get the count of records(result set) of the output.
I cant use sysindexes b'z i need the count of the output genereted by the SQl Statement which joins many tables and retrieves many rows.
Thanks,
Sajai
Hi fellas (and girllas),
Got a problem (duh!). My MSSQL Server lags. Now, mind, it doesn't lag all the time. And it seems to be independent of the # of users trying to access the server. And it random clears itself up. And the problem doesn't present itself in SQL MGR, just on the web app we're running on it.
Setup:
SQL Server 2k running on 2k3 w/ IIS & backup exec.
All SQL data files are on a raid5 SCSI U160.
App:
Intranet App developed by us for us. ASP.NET & VB.NET.
Symptoms:
When queried server takes a LONG time to respond. So long infact it has become counter productive. When taking a look at the server, the CPU usage hovers between 50-75% and spikes up to 90% every now and then just for kicks. The memory usage is 2.35gb out of 4gb. To fix this we have to kill and restart all the SQL services.
Any thoughts on what to look at? There're indexes on the required FKs and the heavily queried columns. We're at a loss here.
Thanks for any helpful help!
=Me!
