I am using the Database maintenance on a database that is about 4gb. The database optiiztion is running about an hour. Does this job only do an update stats? If I run the stored procedure sp_updatestats on the database it only takes a couple of minutes. Are thes two processes doin the same thing? Do I need them if the create, update statistics are turned on?
Thanks,

Hello Everybody,
I have a small tricky problem here...need help of all you experts.
Let me explain in detail. I have three tables
1. Emp Table: Columns-> EMPID and DeptID
2. Dept Table: Columns-> DeptName and DeptID
3. Team table : Columns -> Date, EmpID1, EmpID2, DeptNo.
There is a stored procedure which runs every day, and for "EVERY" deptID that exists in the dept table, selects two employee from emp table and puts them in the team table. Now assuming that there are several thousands of departments in the dept table, the amount of data entered in Team table is tremendous every day.
If I continue to run the stored proc for 1 month, the team table will have lots of rows in it and I have to retain all the records.
The real problem is when I want to retrive data for a employee(empid1 or empid2) from Team table and view the related details like date, deptno and empid1 or empid2 from emp table.
HOw do we optimise the data retrieval and storage for the table Team. I cannot use partitions as I have SQL server 2005 standard edition.
Please help me to optimize the query and data retrieval time from Team table.
Thanks,
Ganesh
In SQL 7, a single table cannot be restored. What if a week later one found out that a table was corrupted few days and no one realized, then how to address this ? Restoring entire db from a tape few days old would't be a solution since all other tables have changed meantime.
Your feed-backs are greatly appreciated !!!

In maint. plan when reorg is selected for a user db, it will also work on
sys tables in user database. Is it a good thing to do ? How do I avoid sys tables in a user database not to be part of maint optimization plan ? Some script would be helpful !

I need to set up a Maintenance Plan on a 6.5 DB. I know the version is old but the customer cannot upgrade at this time. When I try and run the wizard to set it up I get a warning about running a plan on a DB that is larger that 400MB. Whats the deal? Thanks for the help!!

Just two days ago, I noticed none of the scheduled maintenance jobs (backups) are running. I can run them manually successfully, but they are not running according to the maintenance schedule. There are no errors thrown.
Just prior to this happening, our anti-virus detected and deleted what it described as a virus [trojan]. The file was named sqlmaint.rll. I have done extensive searching and have not found anything definitive for this file. Obviously, this has something to do with maintenance not running, but how can I resolve this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

SQL Server 2000
When I use Enterprise Manager to Maint views it basically brought up the view in simple text editor, where I could put in comments as to what the view was for.
I did this by just double clicking the view, but now in SQL Studio express when I modify the view it just brings it up in a query editor. I don't see my comments for my old SQL2000 views.
Is this just the way it is, and I need to get used to it. Or I am just missing something.
I have a maint plan for a single database to backup the database, thats it, very simple. It fails every time.
When I do a view history of the maint plan, it is empty as if it has never run. When I do a view history of the job, it shows it has failed after 13 seconds. With this message.
"Executed as user: sa. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed."
Any help would be great as I cannot get any backups to run. I am worried to say the least right now.
Ques; can "both" files the db backup (.bak) file "and" the (.txt)report file in a maint plan object be cleaned up at same time?
The object is working ok but trying to setup and match backup text reports to the db, I have way more .bak files than text files.
Created from/after db maint plan (which is working ok) from/in the object Maintenance Cleanup Task and the object selections are

I have setup a SQL maintenance plan to backup the transaction log file to be backup every one hour M-F.

Any clues what does this error mean ?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know an easier way to create DB Maint Plans instead of having to create each one manually?
i.e. Copy Maint Plans from 1 server to another automatically.
Does anyone know of a quick export method.
thnx in advance.
It seems there are at least 3 ways to back up my databases in SQL2000
1) Veritas BackupExec
2) SQL Sever Backup
3) SQL Maintenance Plan
I don't quite see what the difference is between 2 & 3.
I'm currently using Veritas to do a full backup to tape, and a separate full backup to disk via a Maint Plan (a complete backup & trans log backup). It looks as though I've finally got my trans log to stop getting bigger (it started a new one) .... can I delete the huge one I don't need anymore. Does "truncate" mean the log is deleted, or just inactive as a new log gets created. I been reading up on this, but apparently it hasn't sunk in yet.
Please give me any long winded, but clear help you might have
OK this is a new error on me.
I have a SQL server 2000 on Windows Server 2003.
I have setup a Maint plan that backs up the user and system databases
and the transaction Logs on my user databases.
Does optimises and integrity checks on those databases as well.
I am not attempting to repair any minor problems.
I am not performing integrity checks before backing up the database
and transaction logs.
All of the databases that I am doing a transaction log backup on have
recovery mode of full.
When the jobs run they fail instantly with error code 22029.
Sqlmaint.exe failed to run. This was working up until the end of the
day on the Thursday before Good Friday. (last week) The transaction
log backup ran fine at 4:00 PM the same job failed at 8:00 PM. No
changes were made to the server during that time.
Another issue that started at the same time. I have a web page used to
grab data from a text file export and pull it into an AS400. I use
this server to house the DTS packages and stored procedures that the
process needs. I suddenly quit working when the jobs quit running.
We are in a mixed enviroment with most clients on AD and this server
and most others still in a NT 4 domain. We have been like this for at
least 3 months and everything has worked fine. I setup the various
users and systems the way the need to be, to work.
Originally the SQL Agent was running as a generic NT 4 Domain user with
local administrator rights to the local box and server role of system
administrator. The MSSQLSERVER and DTC services were running as the
built in system account.
Everything was happy then it broke.
When I reboot the server the jobs and the website work fine. Then
after a period of time that I have not figured out yet, but more than
15 minutes and less than 2 hours. Everything quits working.
I have changed all the services to run as a domain admin with SQL
system adminsitrator server role. Still same thing.
I have changed all the services to run as the built in system account.
Still same thing.
I run the sqlmaint from command line with the switches that I am using
in the maint jobs and it runs fine.
I have run dbcc checkdb on all the databases and they are fine.
The DTS packages and the stored procedures used by the website run fine
from with in Query analyzer.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
We have an application that uses MS SQL 2005 to stored information related to user internet usage. It is storing a large amout of data on a daily bases. The application is set to create a new logging database, when the current database reaches 10GB, then it will start logging to the new database.
A new database is getting created at the rate of about 1 new db every 48hrs and the backup maintenance plan for the user databases, is not picking up the new database. I have to remember to refresh the maintenance job so, the new database gets picked up and is included in the daily backup.
Is there a way to have the backup maintenance job refesh itself? Or possibly a stored procedure or some sort of scripting option to do this?
Please provide information if you have a way of doing this. Thanks.
Has anyone been able to find a way to name the files within your backup using the Database Maintenance Wizard in SQL 7.0?
Thanks for your input?
I am running 2005 SP2 (It is the SP2 refresh as I downloaded the SP2 on 3/15/07) and I can't get the .txt maint plans to delete. The job completes successfully; however, the old .txt files are still there. I found this technote: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938085
although I don't receive the error message in the KB. The report does have "New Component Output" as the 1st line in the report. I still don't see how deleting the 1st line of an already run job (the report) will affect a new run of the job.
Also, I checked the version of the Microsoft.SqlServer.MaintenancePlanTasks.dll and it is at 9.00.3043.00 (which is the SP2 Refresh) in KB 933508 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508 ).
I have several SQL/2005 servers and they all have this problem. Any help would be appreicated...
Thanks,
DeWayne
I have just done an in-place upgrade of a sql2000 SP4 instance to SQL 2005. After the upgrade I applied SP2 and cumulative hotfix rollup 4, plus the SQL 2000 DTS designer components for backward compatibility.
all went well with the upgrade.
I then migrated the maintenance plan for the system databases to 2005 SSIS version, and find it includes tempdb! This causes the jobs to fail.
Have I come across anther maintenance plan issue or have I done something wrong? Should I have applied GDR2 before the cumulative roll up?
We are working on converting to SQL 2005 database. During the conversion we are having to rewrite a lot of code and doing a lot of intital testing and development on development data. This is causing our transaction logs to really big. I have created a maint plan that runs nightly that does a back up of database and tran log but throughtout the day the tran logs are getting really big and eating up a ton of disk space. Does anyone have suggestions on what sort of maint plan I can setup to run on my developement data where as at this point I am not concened about being able to roll back the database just keep is small as possible and "healthly"
All ideas are appreciated
Thanks
Chris
I'm missing something basic...
Trying to create a new job from sql server 2005 Management Studio. The nifty wizard under Management provides options to create backups, and clean history, but I cant seem to find out how to create a job to purge old backups.
Looking at the commnand line Sql Server Agent Job shows:
/SQL "Maintenance PlansFull Backups" /SERVER "JFSLIB-DEV" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
But as you can see, doesn't help a novice like myself, as it appears to be command options to run the "integration" package.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi fellow techs! I am getting to know SQL 2000 intimately and it's been a fun ride with the top down!
My question is, are there any gotchas that I should be aware of in SQL 2000 if I want to change 3 of my databases running on one 2000 SQL server from simple to full recovery model? I want to begin backing up the log file for point in time purposes, but don't want anything to break by disregarding the gotchas, if there are any.
Thanks!
Dear All,
With SQL Server 7 SP2 Maint. Plan, Integrity,
Attempt to repair minor problems - there was a feature
that sometimes left databases in single user mode.
I have recently updated to SQL Server 2000 with a
production database (option set OFF) - does this
feature still apply to SQL Server 2000?
Best Wishes,
Andrew

Dear Advance,I used one stored procedure to retrive 3 different result set. and in the codebehind i seperate it. means from the dataset i seperate three different datatable and then show my data as my need.but the main problem is ... after retriving the datafrom the database i have to user foreach loop to bind the coulmns data to my different custom class.example: foreach (DataRow oDrow in MyDataTable.Rows) {oClass=new Class();oClass.Name1=oDrow["Name1"] .toString();oClass.Name2=oDrow["Name2"] .toString();.... } 1. so my first question is there any optimization possible ?2. my result set is too loong ... so should keep just one hit to database or hit more than one time Currently i am optimizing my web application. in the previous version 1 have to hit the database 3/4 times for different purposes. but now it hits only one time... but it takes time in the codebehind to perform different operation.Any Suggestion
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a SP that calls about 10 stored procedures sequentially. The 10 SP's are basically complex update statements, each one individual. Is there any way to optimize this?

Hello All,
What is the best way to optimize this code or rewrite it using ISNULL ?
CREATE PROCEDURE get_employees (@dept char(8), @class char(5))

I am wondering if the size of the data file makes a difference in running Insert's and/or doing Fetch's. Our DB was 11GB in size, I ran a dbcc shrinkdatabase and it shrank it to 5.5 GB in size, now that it is smaller will it run a select query faster as opposed to when we run large inserts and it has to automatically grow to accommodate the insert. I am trying to figure out if I should leave my .mdf file large or keep it small or does it even make a difference. I am only doing large inserts while loading data to get ready for production after that the inserts will be hourly but much smaller, however our queries to the DB after it is in production will be much more intensive.
Hope this makes sense. Appreciate your help.
