SQL 2012 :: Approximate Hours Per Month To Monitor And Maintain Health Of Databases?
Jul 8, 2014
Based on the description below on average how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the MSSQL Server databases?
Description of IT infrastructure.All Windows Servers and MSSQL Servers are up to date on patches and best practices.
Corporate site with 3 remote sites.
All remote sites have one DC and one MSSQL Server.
The corporate site has one MSSQL Server.
Replication is performed between the remote MSSQL databases and the corporate office MSSQL database.
There is no in-house DBA. All DBA services will have to be outsourced. I am trying to determine what is reasonable in budgeting for time involved for this service.
There is one project written in MS Access using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) with the backend residing on these database.
The question is on average approximately how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the health of the MSSQL Servers database by a MSSQL DBA. The DBA will not have to create any user reporting, queries, etc. Just maintain the existing MSSQL Servers database.

Hi,
I'd like a function that returns the number of hours in a specific month (or the number of days which I could then multiply by 24). The function would have to consider leap years for February.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Skip.

I have a new cluster (2 sync, 2 async) with about 50 databases going from 1 to 200gb ( all of the objects are compressed).That at sql server 2012, sp1 CU7.I have several drives for logs with 200gb of space in there...I am having issues at rebuilding indexes on this env, ie, I have a table with the clustered index heavily fragmented (~80%), and the table has about 60gb of data, uncompressed that should be about 160gb.
The index rebuild is creating a log file big enough as to consume all the space that I have for logs, and that is only 1 table, so for sure my old process to maintain indexes (ola.hallengren code) won't work on this scenario.

We have a Silverlight based application which currently supports only one production version. Idea is to support three concurrent versions of the same application and user will switch to the newer versions based on their interest or they can still continue with the older version.
We still have to use the existing database for all these three versions.
What is the best way to architect this so that we can differentiate the code between the versions and still keep the data in sync and run all the versions in parallel.

Hi to all experts,
I have a server with about 50 databases and the server bandwidth usage is 15-30 Mbps.
I need to know which databse is consuming the bandwidth.
Can you tell me what is the best way (if any) to monitor bandwidth usage per database?

im trying to measure the amount of CPU used in a backup and restore, using the SQL Server Databases: Backup Restore counter in Perfmon.
I can select The counter, but it does not let me select an instance database to monitor.
see image:
I have 3 instances on my machine, 2 sql 2005 and 1 sql 2008. why do these instances not appear? i dont know how to set up this monitoring.
if i type LOCALHOST or 127.0.0.1 in the "Select counters from computer" text box i can see all databases under my sql 2005 instances, but not the ones under the 2008 instances. I have disabled all sql server 2005 services and can confirm none of the sql 2008 instance databases are showing up.
this is a huge problem, especially for when i start stress testing sql server 2008 in preperation for upgrading.
anyone any ideas on why i cannot see sql server 2008 instances in perfmon? I have tried from a remote pc also with the same results.

For anybody that implemented fuzzy searches in SQL Server or any otherdatabase for that matter. I have implemented edit distance algorithm,specifically q-grams, in SQL Server and wanted to get some opinionsfrom anyone who used a similar algorithm in a DBMS.We are looking to implement fuzzy address search and are employingnumber of different techniques including synonyms for strings like"drive", "dr", "drv", etc... Number expansion, so 6 ave = Six Ave =6th Ave = 6... Now, we also have an implementation of edit distancealgorithm, which would cover misspellings and similar sounding words.One of the challenges is putting various techniques together. Synonymsand number expansion techniques go well together but no edit distance.Also, I am trying to figure out how to leverage edit distanceimplementation for 'contains' searches. So if a string like'Mississippi Municipal Building' would be returned if the Search is for'Misisipi Municipal'.Any thoughts?

My goal is to select values from the same date range for a month on month view to compare values month over month. I've tried using the date trunc function but I'm not sure what the best way to attack this is. My thoughts are I need to somehow select first day of every month + interval 'x days' (but I don't know the syntax).In other words, I want to see

I have a SSIS package set up that will transfer a file from a location on the network drive and transfer it over FTP to another location.
When I manually run the package, the file is transfer with no errors. But when the job is automated (via Job Activity Monitor) the transfer fails?
I have set the ProtectionLevel of the package to "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey" and also converted the package to a Development Model. The settings for the FTP is saved within the package.
What am I missing? below is the error message

We have killed a job which is now in KILLEDROLL BACK state. Job activity monitor is not showing any running jobs but I can see the SPID of that job. When tried to kill again its giving the message ‘command completed successfully‘, not able to get the percentage or time for the roll back to complete.
Another DBA tried to create a snapshot and it was stuck and I believe it was because of this ROLLBACK as both were using same Database.

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?

I need only the count of databases that last fullbackup was older then 24 hours or null. and status is online. I have tried
SELECT Count(DISTINCT msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name)
From msdb.dbo.backupset
where datediff(day,backup_finish_date,GETDATE()) > 1 -- or is null
and Database_Name not in ('tempdb','ReportServerTempDB','AdventureWorksDW','AdventureWorks') --online also
group by Database_name, backup_finish_date
Tried using where max(backup_finish_date) < datediff(day,backup_finish_date,GETDATE()) .But get the aggregate in where clause error. get a count of databases with backups older than 24 hours not including the samples, report service, and tempdb. I would also want to put status is online but havent gotten the above to work so havent tried to add that yet.

In the past, I've combined server side traces with Perfmon successfully, which is pretty useful, I know that. I would like to do the same with Extended Events, so I can correlate and analyze the server side as well.

At one of our client side a wired log shipping issues has come up.while monitoring those two server i noticed that although log-shipping report says both server are in sync, report displays information related to both backup and restore , it doesn't shows information related to copy that is when was last file copied and last file copy column is showed blank. Same is when i execute proc "sp_help_log_shipping_monitor" . I get same result ...
When i expand copy job history to analyse its what i found is although job has executed successfully , but in depth reading each steps says that no .trn file was copied .
My copy directory is at secondary server itself where .trn files are placed.And from this location itself files are begin restored.
SQL server and agent on both servers are run by same domain account ....

I have data coming from a telephony system that keeps track of when anemployee makes a phone call to conduct a survey and which project numberis being billed for the time the employee spends on that phone call in aMS SQL Server 2000 database (which I don't own).The data is being returned to me in a view (see DDL for w_HR_Call_Logbelow). I link to this view in MS access through ODBC to create alinked table. I have my own view in Access that converts the integernumbers for start and end date to Date/Time and inserts some otherinformation i need.This data is eventually going to be compared with data from someelectronic timesheets for purposes of comparing entered hours vs hoursactually spent on the telephone, and the people that will be viewing thedata need the total time on the telephone as wall as that total brokendown by day/evening and weekend. Getting weekend durations is easyenough (see SQL for qryTelephonyData below), but I was wondering ifanyone knew of efficient set-based methods for doing a day/eveningbreakdown of some duration given a start date and end date (with theday/evening boundary being 17:59:59)? My impression is that to do thiscorrectly (i.e., handle employees working in different time zones,adjusting for DST, and figuring out what the boundary is for switchingfrom evening back to day) will require procedural code (probably inVisual Basic or VBA).However, if there are set-based algorithms that can accomplish it inSQL, I'd like to explore those, as well. Can anyone give any pointers?Thanks.--DDL for view in MS SQL 2000 database:CREATE VIEW dbo.w_HR_Call_LogASSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.TRCUsers.WinsID, dbo.users.username ASInitials, dbo.billing.startdate, dbo.billing.startdate +dbo.billing.duration AS EndDate,dbo.billing.duration, dbo.projects.name ASPrjName, dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject6ID(dbo.projects.descript ion) AS ProjID6,dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject10ID(dbo.projects.descrip tion) AS ProjID10,dbo.billing.interactionidFROM dbo.projects INNER JOINdbo.projectsphone INNER JOINdbo.users INNER JOINdbo.TRCUsers ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.TRCUsers.UserID INNER JOINdbo.billing ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.billing.userid ON dbo.projectsphone.projectid =dbo.billing.projectid ONdbo.projects.projectid = dbo.projectsphone.projectidWHERE (dbo.billing.userid 0)ORDER BY dbo.billing.startdateI don't have acess to the tables, but the fields in the view comethrough as the following data types:WinsID - varchar(10)Initials - varchar(30)startdate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)enddate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)duration - long integer (enddate - startdate)ProjID10 - varchar(15)interactionid - varchar(255) (the identifier for this phone call)MS Access SQL statement for qryTelephonyData (based on the view,w_HR_Call_Log):SELECT dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.WinsID, dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.ProjID10,FORMAT(CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-197000:00:00')),"yyyy-mm-dd") AS HoursDate,CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) ASStartDT,CDATE(DATEADD('s',enddate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) AS EndDT,DatePart('w',[StartDT]) AS StartDTDayOfWeek, Duration,IIf(StartDTDayOfWeek=1 Or StartDTDayOfWeek=7,Duration,0) ASWeekendSeconds,FROM dbo_w_HR_Call_LogWHERE WinsID<>'0'

If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.

Got a job here that fails on the first Wednesday of every month. It's a complex job (66 steps at last count) that takes roughly 7 hours a night. It starts at 1am, and should be finished by 8am.
The first step normally takes under 5 minutes and is one of the quicker steps However, on the first Wednesday of every month, the first step never finishes; it'll still be running when I come in at 8.20 (ish...). Kill the job, start it again, and no matter what it will not get past step 1. The only solution is to restart the service (not the server!), and then restart the job. When we do this it then goes through in the usual less than 5 minutes.
According to all the monitoring I'm doing, the actual step is not doing anything; there doesn't appear to be any processing, no CPU usage, no reads, no writes etc. It just will not process it
I've tried clearing the cache, both ad-hoc and proc (the step runs a SP). Although I have to confess I've not tried running the SP in step 1, seeing if that works, and then run the job from step 2. Part of the issue is we need to get the process running as quickly as possible, and I don't generally have time to experiment.
Ops and Tech Support say there is nothing running on the server (servers - as it's a cluster) - no AV downloads or anything. The fact I only have to restart the service, rather than the server would imply it's a SQL thing.
