SQL Server 2000 SP4 Slows Down Dts Job
Sep 20, 2007
Hi peeps,
We have just upgraded to Service Pack 4 on our SQL Server 2000.
We have had a DTS job that normally takes about four hours to complete(this dts job has been ok for the last three years).
However, after applying SP4, this DTS job now takes over 8 hours to complete.
There are no other processes running on the box and the box is a high end Dell machine with 8 Gig of RAM.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi MSDN PPL!
I have an SQL Server 2005 instance that slows down over time, she almost grinds to a halt. The data is being exposed via an ASP.Net 2.0 web interface. The web application gets slower and slower over a matter of days. If I restart the SQL Server process she comes back to life and starts serving as it should - nice and snappy.
The web application does not perform much writing to the DB, 90% of the time its just reading. The DB server is worked hard by a console application that produces data each day. This console app runs for about 30 minutes during which there is a lot of reading, processing and writing back to the DB as fast as the hardware will allow. Its this massive workload that is slowing the DB server.
This seems to be related to the amount of memory that SQL Server is using. When looking at Task Manager I can see that sqlservr.exe is using 1,878,904K, this figure continues to rise while the console app runs. I have seen it over 2 GB. When the console app finishes the memory is still allocated and performance is slow. This continues to get worse after a few days of processing.
The machine's specs are:
* Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard
* SQL Server 2005 Standard 9.00.3054.00
* Twin 3.2Ghz Xeons
* 3.5 Gb RAM
I plan to apply "Cumulative hotfix package (build 3152) for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2" in a blind hope to solve the problem.
Any suggestions?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place guys, couldn't find a general performance topic. Please move accordingly.
Thanks,
Matt.

Hi,
We are running SQL Server 2005 Ent Edition with SP2 on a Windows 2003 Ent. Server SP2 with Intel E6600 Dual core CPU and 4GB of RAM. We have an C# application which perform a large number of calculation that run in a loop. The application first load transactions that needs to be updated and then goes to each one of the rows, query another table get some values and update the transaction.
I have set a limit of 2GB of RAM for SQL server and when I run the application, it performs 5 records update (the process described above) per second. After roughly 10,000 records, the application slows down to about 1 record per second. I have tried to examine the activity monitor however I can't find anything that might indicate what's causing this.
I have read that there are some known issues with Hyper-Threaded CPUs however since my CPU is Dual-core, I do not know if the issue applies to those CPUs too and I have no one to disable one core in the bios.
The only thing that I have noticed is that if I change the Max Degree of Parallelism when the server slows down (I.e. From 0 to 1 and then back to 0), the server speeds up for another 10,000 records update and then slows down. Does anyone has an idea of what's causing it? What does the property change do that make the server speed up again?
If there is no solution for this problem, does anyone know if there is a stored procedure or anything else than can be used programmatically to speed up the server when it slows down? (This is not the optimal solution however I will use it as a workaround)
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi guys I am sitting and testing som variants of this simple SP, and I have an question that I couldent answer with google or any thread in this forum.
Perhaps I am doing something really easy completly wrong here.
Why does the local variables in the first code segment slow down the overall execution of the procedure?
Dont mind the logic why I have them there are only testing som things out.
If i declare two variables the same way:
DECLARE @v INT
SET @v = 100
When I use it in a WHERE CLAUSE:
...WHERE [V] BETWEEN @v AND @x)
Is there any different then
...WHERE [V] BETWEEN 100 AND 200)
Cant figure this out, why does it hurt the performance so bad? As a C# guy its the same thing ?
Thanks in advance

I'm hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction for solving this problem as i've come a bit stuck.
The Sql Server 2005 Stored Procedure runs in about 3 secs for a small table when run from SQL Management Studio (starting with dbcc freeproccache before execution) but times out when run through ADO.NET on .NET (45 sec timeout).
I've made sure the connection was closed prior to opening and executing the adapter. I'm a bit stuck as where to check next though.
Any ideas greatfully received, Thanks

Hi All,We're running SQL Server 2000, SP3.I have a stored procedure that consists of a single Select statement.It selects a bunch of columns one of which is a column of data typeTEXT.SP takes 30 sec to run which causes timeouts on the Front End.When I comment out the Text column from the select it only takes 1Sec.Is there anything I can do about it? I know I can't index a Textcolumn. It's also not used in the where clause, so no need forFull-Text Search.But we absolutely have to have it in the Select clause.Thanks for the help in advance.~Narine

Hi all,
In my project, I have a website and through that, I run my reports. But the reports take a lot of time to render. When I checked the profiler, it showed that the SP for the report is run around 4-5 times. Due to this, the report rendering takes a lot of time.
When, I ran the SP with the same set of Parameters in Query Analyser, it ran in around 18 seconds. But when I ran the report from web interface, it took around 3 minutes to completely show the data. And the SP has been run 5 times.
I am having serious problems with Report's performance because of this. Many a times, report just times out. I have set the timeout as 10 minutes. And because the Sp is run 5 times, the report times out, if there is huge amount of data.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
We have a t-sql statement in a SP that generates on average between 50 €“ 60 rows of data, pretty small! The statement references a View, some tables and temporary # table which has been created in the SP.
Everything works a treat and runs sub second until you put a Insert Into in front of the above statement scenario. The SP then takes a about a minute to run which happens to be about the same amount of time to generate all the data in the View.
I have not attached T-Sql statement at this stage as it runs ok without the Insert Into but would be happy to post it if need be.
Anybody else ever had this problem?
We are using SQL Server 2005 SP2 64 bit.

I have two tables - gift_cards and history - each related by a field called "card_number". This field is encrypted in the history table but not in the gift_cards table. Let's say the passphrase is 'mypassphrase'. The following query takes about 1 second to execute with a fairly large amount of data in both tables:
SELECT max([history].[date_of_wash]) AS LastUse
FROM gift_cards AS gc LEFT JOIN history
ON gc.card_number=CAST(DecryptByPassPhrase('mypassphrase', HISTORY.CARD_NUMBER) AS VARCHAR(50))
GROUP BY gc.card_number
When I use a declared variable to contain the passphrase, the same query takes over 40 seconds. For example,
declare @vchPassphrase as nvarchar(20)
select @vchPassphrase = 'mypassphrase'
SELECT max([history].[date_of_wash]) AS LastUse
FROM gift_cards AS gc LEFT JOIN history
ON gc.card_number=CAST(DecryptByPassPhrase(@vchPassphrase, HISTORY.CARD_NUMBER) AS VARCHAR(50))
GROUP BY gc.card_number
This query is part of a stored procedure and, for security reasons, I can't embed the passphrase in it. Can anyone explain the discrepancy between execution times and suggest a way to make the second query execute faster?
Thanks,
SJonesy

We are using an OLE DB Source for the Data Flow Source and OLE DB Destination for the Data Flow Destination. The amount of data being moved is about 30 million rows, and it is gather using a sql command. There is not other transformations in between straight from one to another. The flow starts amazingly fast but after 5 million rows it slows considerably. Wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar with large loads.

I have an SSIS Package which is designed to import log files. Basically, it loops through a directory, parses text from the log files, and dumps it to the database. The issue I'm having is not with the package reading the files, but when it attempts to write the information to the db. What I'm seeing is that it will hit a file, read 3000 some lines, convert them (using the Data Conversion component), and then "hang" when it tries to write it to the db.
I've run the SQL Server Profiler, and had originally thought that the issue had to do with the collation. I was seeing every char column with the word "collate" next to it. On the other hand, while looking at the Windows performance monitor, I see that the disk queue is maxed at 100% for about a minute after importing just one log file.
I'm not sure if this is due to the size of the db, and having to update a clustered index, or not.
The machine where this is all taking place has 2 arrays- both RAID 10. Each array is 600 GB, and consists of 8 disks. The SSIS package is being executed locally using BIDS.
Your help is appreciated!

We are experiencing a problem with Sql Server 2000 linking to anAccess 97 file. We have two machines that link to this .mdb file, andwe recently upgraded one to newer hardware, SP3a, MDAC 2.8, etc. Thelink on this upgraded machine no longer works, giving this message:Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot open a database created witha previous version of your application.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].The link on the older machine still works. We decided to tryconverting a copy of the file to Access 2000 to see if the newerpatches/drivers/whatever no longer supported 97. We set up a link onboth machines to this file, and they both work. However, on theupgraded machine, the following error is receievedServer: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: System resource exceeded.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80004005: ].when making 1-3 connections to the the linked server, while the oldermachine supports at least 7 simultaneous queries connecting to thelinked server and still hasn't produced that error.Does anyone have any idea if there is a known issue with linking toAccess 97/2000 files under MDAC 2.8, Jet 4.0, etc? Any light anyonecan shine on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

My objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

Hi,
Just upgraded some development desktops to Vista Business. However we need

Trying to setup an ODBC system DSN on our Vista Business local desktop we get the

Any help greatly appreciated as this is stopping us from making
database/table connections etc. We've checked the firewall setup and all is well there.
PS - we can still connect fine using XP or windows 2000 desktops and their
local DSNs.

Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael

I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana

We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new
server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from
the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000
to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem
with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but
I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
