Up until a couple of days ago all my maintenance plans were working.
Now they are all failing with the following errors -
Message
Executed as user: MHS2sql2008. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 11.0.2100.60 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Started: 10:07:02 Progress: 2014-05-29 10:07:03.20 Source: {CE851AA2-045F-429A-885E-E60E75A38639} Executing query "DECLARE @Guid UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
[Code] ....
The package execution failed. The step failed. Now I have changed the SQL Server Agent service account to use a network account called "sql2008".Stopped and started the Agent service.
The account has access to the folders it is trying to back up to. It's a full admin on the sql box and the box where I am trying to backup to?

Hi,
we are running a Windows Application(.Net 2.0) against a MS SQL Server 2000 on WinXP. The application is able to succesefully connect to Database and execute "smaller stored procedure". The application also must execute a stored proc that returns 2M rows for export into a flat file.
When executing the stored proc from a remote box with 512M or less RAM(slow box), the application receives the error:
A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
If a box has 1G or RAM or more, application seems running fine.
Now, I have the application running on a slow box, watching memory usage, and it seems fine - the memory acquired by the application never exceded 39M of RAM, so I'm still not clear why connection is being closed.
Also, there seem to be no mesages from MS SQL server in Event Log.
The problem is that I have to make the app run on a "slow box".
Any ideas or comments are appreciated (somebody, please, help me ;-) )

Hi,
This is a very bizzare one. I have installed SQL many times and never had this problem. I had a user self install SQL 2005, as it turns out, he installed the wrong components, so a co-worker uninstalled it for him. We followed the support doc for the uninstall, because we had errors when tried to remove it.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967
After, we were able to re-install (we installed this time via the command line), but for some odd reason we have completely lost the ability to print to ANY network printer. I didn't think this was possible, but I tried it on my machine and now I too am unable to print!
A couple of details:
Both machines:
XP-SP2
HP dx7400
Printers: a variety of HP Networked Printers (can't print to any)
I have added and removed the printers multiple times and tried adding via a local port... no luck
There is no error in the event log
If I try to print a test page, I get an error box that says "Test Page Failed to Print"
Since there are no real errors for the print issue, I am struggling to find a solution. Has anyone ever seen this??
Thanks!
Dria

Problem: We have intermittent failures of SQL Server jobs with the following error -
TCP Provider: The specified network name is no longer available. [SQLSTATE 08S01]
Communication link failure [SQLSTATE 08S01]
Types of job steps failing: DBCC Checkdb, LiteSpeed backups, re-indexing sql in stored procs, home-grown database update stored procs. These types of job steps are failing on 3 different servers in a 4-way active cluster although all 4 servers have the same type of job steps. No steps involved attempt cross-server processes, job only uses its own server and SAN.
Environment: 4-way active IA64bit cluster Windows 2003 datacenter running SQL2005 RTM. All 4 nodes attached to EMC Clarion SAN.
What we have already looked at: No additonal messages in event viewers. SQL Agent additional logging shows same error. Network services has monitored and sees nothing. Network services is current on firmware upgrades (just applied last batch 2 weeks ago) and still got 2 more errors after the upgrades. I've seen other postings (with no solutions) where people have same error with SQL2000 through SQL2005 SP2, so i don't believe SP2 will help this.

We are running a SQL Server 2008R2 64-bit database system on a Windows 2012 R2 64-bit Standard system. I have noticed in recent weeks that our differential backups periodically are taking longer than expected to complete. The usual amount of time is about one hour, but on several occasions, it has taken upwards to five hours. The nights when the job takes longer to complete are on Friday.
I did some checking online, and one possible reason for this issue is my scheduling the reindexing of the database on the morning of the Differential backup. For example, this past Friday the reindexing occurred at 1:00 AM with the Differential running at 10:00 PM that night.The article that I read suggested the reindexing, which takes several minutes, if that, to complete, should be scheduled to run just before the Full backup job.

I`m having difficulty performing a SQL dump using a network drive. I have successfully created a backup device on a network drive but when I go to perform a backup using it I get the following error message: "Can`t open dump device `RSS4DATARSA3_Dump.Dat`, device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)" I can successfully perform a backup using a local drive but not this network drive. I have checked the permissions on the network drive and is seems ok. I use the following command to try to perform the backup: "DUMP DATABASE RSA3 TO DISK = `Rss4DataRSA3_Dump.Dat WITH STATS = 10, INIT". Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi we have a table with about 400000 records in it. It starting to take longer and longer to add a new record. I was thinking of creating another identical table and archiving off most of the records every month (we are now adding about about 4000 records a day) . Is this the best thing to do?
I don't know a lot about sql server so any help or suggestions would be great

I'm putting a process together to run a DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS process against copies of client databases.The author application doesn't set the constraints as trusted, and therefore we need to check the integrity of the data.
The problem is that some of the Check constraints have a definition that is longer than 4,000 characters.When this is the case, DBCC CHECK CONSTRAINTS fails.One option is that I write a cursor to select the constraints that have a definition less than 4,000 characters and then call the DBCC command for those particular constraints. However, I'd prefer a more elegant approach - ideally a way to run DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS against all constraints regardless of the length of the definition

I am setting up mirroring on one of our live databases tonight. The database is quite big, around 300GB.
At the moment we are doing log backups once a day and full backups every night.
My question is, when I set up the mirror, will the log backups on my Principle DB affect the mirror in anyway?

I have inherited a new SQL Server 2008 database server and can not figure out how my user databases are being backed up. This database server is running under a VM.
All the user databases are being backed up nightly per the SQL server log. The backups are written to a virtual disk and is kicked off by the NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM user. I can not see the virtual disk. A restore task does not provide any information about the last backup. I have created a new database, and it is automatically included in the next set of backups.
I have looked at the windows event viewer with out any luck. There are no SQL Server Maintenance Plans or Agent jobs that call a backup. I have also checked the Windows Task Scheduler and can not find any task that does a backup.Could the backups be called from another server ?

I am using Ola Hallegren's scripts to do backups. He uses @Cleanup Time to delete backups older than a certain number of hours. My situation is I do a full backup of a database on Sunday and then I have a few Differentials and then log backups for the rest of the week. When Sunday rolls around again and my full backup is finished, I would like to delete all the differential backups and log backups. Any way that I could accomplish this using Ola's scripts?

I have tried doing sql server backups to a file share and that has been taking too long. So I've decided to backup locally and then taking those backups and getting them off the server. For those that are doing this what do you use to get your backups off the server?

I am sure I have seen in the past in a monitoring tool that PLE drops off to 0 whenever we do a backup. I was doing some reading around this however and found something that said backups use a different portion of memory external to the buffer pool (minmax settings).
Is this correct and how can I tell how much memory will be required for a backup?

Just hit a issue where we had a 40gb backup file for a database with an mdf of less than 2gb and tran log less than half a gb.
Noticed someone had set the backup for this database to append the backup file in stead of overwrite it.
Just wondering why would you want to append a backup instead of overwrite it?

I just completed a copy-Only compressed backup of a DB (with a FULL Recovery Model ) on SQL Server 2012 and the resulting backup (the bak file) is 1/100th the size of the data & log file. Is the compression in SQL Server 2012 just that good or did something else happen that I did not catch? Below is the T-SQL to re-create the backup. The size of the data file is 750MB and the log file is 75GB and is %95 used according to the SQLPERF command.
Does the compression in SQL Server 2012 simply that good
BACKUP DATABASE [MYBIGOLEDB] TO DISK = N'Z:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLBackupMYBIGOLEDB_20150611.bak' WITH COPY_ONLY, NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'MYBIGOLEDB-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, COMPRESSION, STATS = 10

So I'm testing some things in our new servers and was trying to restore a database from some striped backup sets. We have 4 files for our backups and restoring the FULL backups with no recovery worked beautifully via SSMS. But when I tried to restore the differentials (also striped across 4 files), the GUI gave me this error:
Unable to create restore plan due to break in the LSN chain.
How to locate when the break happened and I came across this article about how this is an SSMS 2012 bug.
So I tried the advice in this article to attempt a restore via Files and Filegroups, and ended up with the below error:
EDIT: Picture is attached if it is not showing in post.
I was able to restore via T-SQL, but I want to also be able to restore through the GUI.

We have a SQL 2012 server instance that has log shipping set up to another SQL 2012 server to provide a warm standby for a forward facing application. The databases on the primary server occasionally are required to be backed up and restored to a development environment, completely different server. Is there a way to schedule full backups with log shipping enabled?

Native backups to NAS do not complete.We have been experiencing an issue whereby our native backups are hanging with status': SUSPENDED/ RUNNABLE...I ran select * from sys.sysprocesses. All of the backup SPIDs processes show BACKUPTHREAD/PREEMPTIVE_OS_FILEOPS
This first occurred last Wednesday evening. When I discovered this on Thursday, I attempted to kill the backup jobs. This also hung with 0% completed/0% time remaining. Backups hung on more than one instance.That evening, I attempted to restart the instance which also failed with something along the lines of: could not start MASTER file in use.
I then restarted the server--which I really did not want to do--and this cleared it. I was also able to manually kick off maintenance plans (DBCC CHECKDB and full backup) without issue.I was off Friday and the weekend. I came in this morning and found the maintenance plans (diff/tlog backups) did not complete in some of the instances--in one case, the instance affected now was not affected before. They appeared to have hung on their next scheduled kickoff which was later that night after I went home
Remembering the "file in use" error, I have run process monitor to see if anything unusual had a lock on any files. I saw only SQL Server and Double-Take processes accessing log files.Being a relatively new DBA, I am user where to go next in trying to track down the cause of this issue. This is fairly urgent as one of the instances that has had this problem both times is our production SharePoint environment.

I am in plan to implement following for backup of one of our database Enable Full recovery mode
1- Create full backup nightly
2- Create transaction log backup after every 25 min
as I am taking full backup every night, I think I can remove transaction log file backups at the time of full backup, as we can apply transaction log backup over full backup.My question is regarding removal of transaction log backups.
-Should I remove all transaction log backups and then execute full backup?
-Should I execute full backup and remove all transaction log backup older than 24Hrs ?
-Do I have to consider SCN or related info before deleting any transaction log backup ?

We have just implemented a SQL 2012 always on environment. We have a primary and secondary server. I am confused about how to set up the backup plans. The application team was happy to tell me that in sql 2012 always on we can offload the backups to the secondary, thus reducing overhead on the primary server.
However, the secondary only supports copy only full backups. I am unsure how these would be useful in a disaster event? I could not apply any trx log backups on a copy only backup. This means I need to run my full backups on the primary server?

We had our backups backing up to the server where the databases reside. Now I modified the backups to backup to a file share. Now when we try to restore from the file share the restore fails, so we have to copy the backup to a drive on the server and recover for there. Should I be able to restore directly from the file share (using the gui)? Do I need to change something else to modify the default backup drive?

Why does it take longer and longer for the same code to run very simply I have 8,0000,000 records I want to delete from a table . I have tried a few options
Option 1 a while loop which deletes 10,000 rows per loop starting from the earliest until it hits the cut of number I have set. THIS TOOK 5 HOURS
Option 2 created an SP which found the oldest 100,000 records then deleted them. If I run this SP manually it takes 30 €“ 60 secs. Which I thought was much better than above. So I put this SP in a while loop to run 80 odd times thinking the time it would take would be 80 mins a huge improvement.
But every time this SP is called it takes longer and longer (36,30,32,39,37,37,123,163,155,182€¦and so on(In seconds)).
All the sp is doing is as follows(8860000 is just to insure I don€™t delete to much). this sp is then called from in a while loop.
set @recnumber = (select top 1 recnumber from
(select top 100000 recnumber from TabletodeleteFROM where recnumber < 8860000
order by recnumber asc ) TabletodeleteFROM
order recnumber desc)
delete TabletodeleteFROM where recnumber < @recnumber
please help why is it taking longer and longer

I am setting up Availability Groups and I want to use the secondary replica to perform the full copy_only backups to reduce the load on the primary replica.But what is the best way to check for successful full backups on Availability Group databases?
Previously I could check the system table msdb.dbo.backupset but this is not available for copy_only backups.So I wonder how people are monitoring that their full backups have been successful?
Do you just check that the SQL Agent job that runs the backup was successful?
Or do you search the SQL Server Error Log for entries like "Database backed up. Database: xxx" where database xxx is in an Availability Group?
Or is there a better method?

Can we backup our cluster databases directly to tape using native backups (without using any third party tool) ? It's SQL Server 2012 two node Active/Passive cluster. One of the DB will be huge in size, hence checking if we can directly backup from the cluster instance to a tape.

We installed the SQL Server 2012 GUI tools, including "Upgrade Advisor," on a new virtual machine. We can connect to the old SQL Server 2008 R2 clustered databases just fine over port 1433 using SQL Server Management Studio 2012, but Upgrade Advisor is a mixed bag. Here are the steps we are taking:
- Click on "Start," "All Programs," "Microsoft SQL Server 2012," "SQL Server 2012 Upgrade Advisor"
- Fill in the server name with a valid SQL Server Network Name
- Select "SQL Server" as the only component to be analyzed
- Fill in the instance name with a valid named instance
- Use Windows Authentication (the default)
- The "SQL Server Parameters" window displays valid database names, meaning that we have a successful connection to the desired SQL Server instance at this point
- Leave all of the databased selected (the default)
- Click the "Run" button
- The "Upgrade Advisor Progress" window spins for a while and eventually generates the following error:
TITLE: mscorlib
------------------------------
The network path was not found.
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
Why would Upgrade Advisor be able to display the database names after making a successful connection only to fail later saying that it cannot find the network path?
