SQL 2012 :: Setup FCI With NetApp Fileshare To Store Data Files
Jun 8, 2015
I recently set up a SQL 2012 FCI with a NetApp fileshare to store the data files. The install worked just fine, but I can't run an integrity check for any of my databases. Whenever I try, I get these error messages:
Msg 1823, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
A database snapshot cannot be created because it failed to start.
Msg 1823, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
A database snapshot cannot be created because it failed to start.
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 104, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "path-to-fileshareMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAmodel.mdf:MSSQL_DBCC12". Operating system error 1: "1(Incorrect function.)".
Msg 7928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The database snapshot for online checks could not be created. Either the reason is given in a previous error or one of the underlying volumes does not support sparse files or alternate streams. Attempting to get exclusive access to run checks offline.The error message suggests SQL had a problem creating the snapshot, but I checked through some NetApp documentation for configuring SMB 3.0 for SQL.

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?

Hello all. Before my arrival at my current employer, our consultantsphysically set up our MSSQL 7 server as follows:drive c: contains the mssql enginedrive d: contains the transaction logdrive e: contains the data filesNo filegroups were set up and the data files consist of only 1 largephysical file. Currently, our data file is >10GB. When I was trained onthe physical aspects of sqlserver, I was told to never create physical files[color=blue]> 2048MB each. If I did, I could expect inefficient physical storage of[/color]data and slower performance (due to the OS).Our server has 2 RAID-5 arrays. Drive c: and e: are located on the firstarray and drive d: on the second. We're running Windows 4.0 NT Server SP6with NTFS.Can someone comment on the use of 1 single large data file vs. more smallerdata files?

I am looking to store the different forms and data in our database. We have several different forms and contains different information. I am looking for different approaches to model this table structure.
Also, I need to make sure the table structure will allow for new forms.

In one store procedure I do insert same data into two tables (They have the same structure): OrderA and OrderB
insert into OrderA select * from OrderTemp
insert into OrderB select * from OrderTemp
And then got an error for code below.
"Multi-part identifier "dbo.orderB.OrderCity" could not be bound
IF dbo.OrderB.OrderCity=''
BEGIN
update dbo.OrderB

We are storing changed data of tables into XML format for auditing purpose. The functionality is already achieved. We are using FOR XML Path clause to convert relational data of tables into XML format.
Now, a table is having column name with '(' . For example name of the column is, ColumnName(). In this case we can not convert into XML using For XML clause. Showing error as,
Column name 'columnName()' contains an invalid XML identifier as required by FOR XML; '(' (0x0028) is the first character at fault.

We have a typical issue with Column Store Index, we have a procedure which does 2 activities - Switch & Reverse Switch
Switch:
1. Fetch the Partitions needed to be switched
2. Switch the data from Main Table to Switch table
2. Disable the Column store on Switch table
SSIS Package:
3. Load data to Switch (Insert / Update)
Reverse Switch:
4. Enable the Switch
5. Switch back the data from Switch table to Main table
Issue: Some time the Column store is not getting disabled, and the package fails complaining try disabling the Column store index and try loading data.
If we re-run the procedure, the column store gets disabled.

I'm having an argument with our infrastructure architect who has just gone and bought lots of SSD drives to use for our tempdb data and log files, sounds great doesn't it? There is a catch though, his plan is to add the disks to the two available slots in each blade in a RAID0+1 configuration, effectively giving you one usable drive, and adding both data and log files on to one disk.
I then pointed out that SQL Server best practice is to host tempdb data and log files on two separate drive to reduce contention. The architect then basically said that because this isn't spinning disk the issue of drive, r/w contention isn't an issue I don't agree with this and wanted to get some opinions from the community, I'm still advising that two separate disks should be used but someone just went and spent £80k ($150k) on SSDs and doesn't want to back down...

I've stepped into a new environment and have never dealt with multiple data files on user databases only with Temp db.What would be the best way to get all my data files in sync. I have done this on databases that aren't that big in size or off in size by a lot. Here is what I have
Mdf -- 69 GB
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 4

I would like to reconfigure my database to have four 200GB .mdf files. How do I get from here to there?

I understand that we shouldn't shrink data files as it might cause heavy fragmentation along with log usage, high IO/CPU etc.
In a DB in which lot of DML transaction occur, there will be empty spaces whenever deletions occur.
Will SQL Server fill that part with data when new insertions occur ?.

I am currently investigating aa high avg write time ms issue (145ms) which seems to be only occuring on the tempdb data files.I have followed the recommended setup of TEMPDB in that
1. Data files = number of physical cores
2. Data files and logfiles are on separate partitions away from the other databases.
3. Tempdb is presized and no incremental file increases look like they are happening with frequency.
We have sharepoint 2012 setup on other sql servers and with TEMPDB setup following the same guidelines, with far more Sharepoint activity on a similary specified hardware which is why its confusing.FileIO auditing on the partitions themselves shows that the FileIO is very fast on the partitions that the tempdb data file which leads me to beleive that Sharepoint may be the culprit perhaps due to excess use of tempdb with operations taking a long time to resolve.

I'm trying to move a log file of a database that is part of an availability group. I have been following steps from the article: [URL]
At first this worked fine for me in a test environment. When I tried it in a production environment the database on the secondary went into "Recovery Pending" state and I can't get it out.
I checked to ensure that the dB is looking in the right place for the log file, and it is. It just doesn't seem to actually use the new file. If I start and stop SQL service, the dB comes back up and is fine.
Here are the steps I'm going through and what is happening at each step:
--------------------------------------
:Connect DEVSQL --This is currently PRIMARY
USE[master]
GO
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [DP-AG-DEV] MODIFY REPLICA ON N'DEVSQL' WITH (SECONDARY_ROLE(ALLOW_CONNECTIONS = NO))
[Code] ....
All is good so far. Both the Primary and the Secondard have had their logical files changed, which has not taken affect yet because there has been no failover.
--Make SQL10 the PRIMARY
:Connect SQL10
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [DP-AG-DEV] FAILOVER;
GO
SQL10 is now the Primary for this AG. And, as expected, the database [AG-Test] is in "Recovery Pending" because it is now looking for the log file in the new location. I need to move the file to the new location.
:Connect DEVSQL
--Enable XP_CMDSHELL
sp_configure 'show advanced options',1
go
reconfigure
go
sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell',1
[code].....
This is where the script is failing, returning the error:
Msg 1468, Level 16, State 5, Line 5
The operation cannot be performed on database "AG-Test" because it is involved in a database mirroring session or an availability group. Some operations are not allowed on a database that is participating in a database mirroring session or in an availability group.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
I can not get the dB to recognize the log file at it's new location.
If I restart the SQL Service, it comes back fine, which seems to indicate to me that it is not a permission problem and confirms that the file is in the right place.
How do I force SQL to look for the log file again without restarting the service?

Got following query:
SELECT
event_data.value('(event/data/value)[4]', 'bigint') AS cpu_time,
--database name
event_data.value('(event/data/value)[5]', 'bigint') AS duration,
--estimated cost
--estimated rows
--nest level
[code]...
Basically, is a simple T-SQL query that reads the local file for my already setup extended event sessions. But I can't find the way to retrieve the following attributes as part as the T-SQL query:
--database name
--estimated cost
--estimated rows
--nest level
--object name
I am trying to find a BOL or some MS link with the full list of possible values for event_data.value but can't find one.

PushD "

forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?

I have a report that groups a particular dataset by customer, with a page break between each customer. If print this report, it looks great - one page per customer.
What I would like to do is have the report deployed on schedule to a windows file share, one .pdf file per customer. How to parse the output into individual .pdfs (one per customer) instead of a single .pdf containing all customers? I get it if this is not possible.
My current (painful) workaround would be to replicate the report for each potential customer, and set a schedule for each report to deploy sequentially. (Customer 1 at 9:00, Customer 2 at 9:01, etc).
Currently on SQL Server/Visual Studio 2008.

I have written code to upload and store the files into a folder, however, I'm not able to collect data from the folder later and the folder is only accessible offline using the server system which I do not want to happen.

I am almost done with a simple page to have a user select a file (using the FileUpload object), give it a short description and associate it with an item from a listbox. Thensave these pieces of data to a new row in a SQL DB.
My issue...
The SQLSmd.ExecuteNonQuery FAILS...
I have got all the fields able to connect and almost save... but for the actual "document" field errors out. The user can select any type of file (image, word, excel, Powerpoint, etc) for storage into the DB. I am not storing a referance to a file or the path to a file but the actual file in SQL.In the DB I have the field (Document) set to a type of VarBinary(8000) in the table. Here is thethe corrisponding code in my app...
Dim bArray As Byte...bArray = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream.ReadByte()... SQLCmd.Parameters.Add("@Document", Data.SqlDbType.VarBinary, 8000).Value = bArray...iReturn = SQLCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
ERRORThe first section of the stact trace...

We are looking ahead at distributing our new version with SQL Server 2005 and would like create an Installation package that will upgrade the database engine to the Workgroup or Enterprise editions of SQL Server 2005. Are there any suggestions around this topic, we are looking at ways in making this task of upgrading the engine as streamlined and automated for our Client.
